Yay for January 20th! Dear 44,

| January 20, 2009

I thought your speech was good, and it hit most of the important notes I thought it should – although potentially in somewhat vague language (but hey thats politic-speak right? :( ). I’m hopeful, but not stupid or euphoric. Good luck Mr. President.   Even with your vaunted intellect, I think you’ll need it.  You’ve [...]

Georgie’s last Friday

| January 16, 2009

TGIF? …. I’m not so naive as to think things are going to magically change next week. Doesn’t mean I can’t be happy it’s Friday…. [OK that's annoying I wanted to link to the Wyclef track "Low Income"...but there doesn't seem to be a version of it on Youtube - WTF?  Silly record labels ignoring [...]

I’m bummed about Prop 8 though

| November 5, 2008

and embarassed a little by my birth state. As of this moment: 08 – Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry YES: 5,220,694 52.2% NO: 4,792,873 47.8%

correction, not every song

| November 4, 2008

[songs for election day] I was thinking of Golden Age by TVoTR on the way home, probably because I was listening to the new album.  Also Brilliant Disguise, by Springsteen, which I was reminded of by a conversation with my wife about the brilliant, if challenging, “Tunnel of Love” album. Let’s hope for the first.  [...]

John McCain – can we trust him with younger, sexier, countries?

| October 22, 2008

Dear John, I know you held me dear in your heart, through torture & trials, and held onto dreams of return. Well, now that we’ve been back together these last few decades you’ve tried your best to love me I know, but are you sure you’re ready to take it to the next level? I’ve [...]

I love links?

| October 17, 2008

Wow.  I’ve listed up a ton of stuff so far, I had to post this before the list got any longer. Most of it is political (you can tell where my mind is lately), so apologies ahead of time if that bores you. Here are two follow-up stories downplaying the Acorn-phobia that Republicans are trying [...]

final debate thoughts

| October 15, 2008

I’ll keep my thoughts short since I’m tired of typing: McCain came across as really angry/annoyed (to me of course!) again. Surprise!  He brought up the Ayers crap that I thought he might have the balls to go against his Rove-eges advice.  This isn’t going to get him any points.   Specifics aside, I suspect that, [...]

if you’re still on the fence about McCain…

…you might want to read this. Printer friendly version here, if you like to actually print things. Now, none of this is “new” info – it’s all been available online for a long period of time, but it’s handy to have it all coalesced here into one easy on the eyes place.  It was even [...]

early October links

| October 7, 2008

Andrew Sullivan on Palin & transparency.  Here’s what I didn’t know – when she was running for the Mayoral office in Wasilla, she demanded that her opponent provide proof of his wedding since his wife was still using her maiden name.  The amusing thing is that she refuses to provide proof of her son Trig’s [...]
