Too Much to Write on a Snowy Day
Like a lot of writers, I go through periods in which I either have nothing to say or simply don’t have the motivation to write anything. That’s a shame, because I either find myself neglecting to make a point about a given topic in a timely manner or I find myself with an enormous [...]

Dear Jim,
At your blog thingy at National Ass-hat Review, you write:
Rick Warren Was All It Took to Turn Gay Liberals Against Obama?
So Barack Obama selected Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration, and around the righty blogosphere, there is a lot of chuckling over the reaction of gays and liberals — a furious, [...]
He’s Lucky It Was Just a Shoe
Richard at All Spin Zone (welcome back man!) has a nice bit on Muntazar al-Zaidi, the shoe-throwing Iraqi who’s now in custody and has reportedly been tortured. Frankly, I think Bush is lucky that all the guy threw was his shoes. It coulda been worse: the Devil Bush could have been pelted with [...]

If Jeff Lurie and the Eagles won’t settle the team’s debt, the mayor, everyone on city council, every paper in town, and every fan from every neighborhood should be screaming bloody murder until they do.
The Daily News has printed one single editorial about this. To the best of my knowledge, the Inquirer has said nothing [...]
Sully: Vote for Obama
I usually wouldn’t even consider linking to Andrew “Liberals Constitute a 5th Column” Sullivan, but he knocked it out of the park today:
Cheney and Bush, unlike any presidency in American history, have dangerously pushed constitutional government to the brink of collapse. They did not merely assert a unified executive in which actions and regulations reserved [...]
Valania Speak, You Listen
Valania drops the science:
Because I don’t believe in politicians, but I believe in this man.
Because the rest of the world believes in this man, and contrary to what some would have you believe, that is a good thing. In fact, it’s crucial.
Because words matter and he is a man of his word.
Because he appealed to [...]
FOX FREAKS ON PHAWKER
The brain trust over at Fox News is in a tizzy over Jonathan Valania’s “Why Whitey Can’t Vote” column from yesterday’s Inquirer. Behold the majesty of Brit Hume’s outrage:
Off Color
The editor-in-chief of a Philadelphia news blog says white people should not be allowed to vote.
Jonathan Valania of Phawker.com writes in the Philadelphia Inquirer, “As a [...]
