The Madness of Changing March
I don’t know if you heard, but the UConn men recently won a little something we call March Madness. Or the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship if you have no interest in fun. While the title game itself has been generally regarded as a bust—I choose to characterize it as a master class on defense—it is generally agreed that this year… Read more »
We are John Galt, my precious
I’ve never read Atlas Shrugged, so I don’t have a dog in the fight that this quote may create — I just think it’s funny: There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes,… Read more »

I’m having a little too much fun setting this up…
“His eyes filled with tears.”
An inside account of the government shutdown negotiations, and John Boehner’s role at the center of them. I’ve already given you the money quote. Meanwhile, a look ahead to the impending debt ceiling battle. Let me be the first to say, “#PANIC!”

I don’t really have anything much… Read more »

Doesn’t look like much of a riot, really — more like idiotic, and somewhat dangerous, but mostly non-destructive, drunken revelry — but maybe that’s the soundtrack talking. Anyway, great video, courtesy of Mondial Creative Labs on Vimeo.
OMG FRAUD IN WISCONSIN!!!!! (not)
King County, Washington, meet Waukesha County, Wisconsin: In one explosive stroke Thursday, the clerk in a Republican stronghold tilted the tight Supreme Court race in favor of Justice David Prosser by recovering thousands of untallied votes for the incumbent. Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus said Thursday that she failed to save on her computer and then report 14,315 votes in… Read more »
I want iTunes for live sports radio
Why isn’t there an iTunes-like service where I can go online with my iPhone, find the local radio broadcast for basically any sporting event, and pay $0.99 per game to listen to it? Maybe not for sports like Major League Baseball that already have fairly advanced systems for listening/watching online, but for other sports? Like college basketball and football, say?… Read more »
