Talk Nerdy to Me

August 21st, 2008 · 8 Comments

Just when Obama’s economic rhetoric is giving me hives, I see something like this and get, if not a thrill running up my leg, a little more at ease: But you know, the truth is that my education was a pretty standard, liberal arts education. So I was exposed to thinkers on the left. At […]

Obama’s Support for My IMAGINARY Surveillance Bill Is Totally Defensible

July 8th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Best. Rumor. Ever.

June 11th, 2008 · Comments Off on Best. Rumor. Ever.

Complete the Sentence

June 10th, 2008 · 6 Comments
