Money and Death

There will be light posting from me, the putative centrist of this fun bunch, until after the weekend. Work, travel for work, more work, blah, blah, blah. I promise a post on “Why I Hate Howard Dean” early in the next week, which should spice things up since I’m blogging with certified-Dean-Lover Katherine. In the … Read more

“Igor! Attend me!”

“Yeth, mathter?”

“I have become bored and petulant, Igor. I grow weary of tormenting baby harp seals in front of chained ecoterrorists and stealing the ozone layer, all the while framing Noam Chomsky for the crime. I think that it is time to feed the commentgators.”

Now, Who Wants a Representative Democracy? I do! I do!

Zombies Chew Tinfoil…

The beginning of the second to last sentence of the angriest Lileks Bleat I have ever read. Not that I’m disagreeing with him about most of it, mind you. Especially about the zombis.* Moe *I had a pretty good riff going on about how I probably wasn’t going to do link posts like this one … Read more
