Matt Taibbi on American Political IQ

Read this today from the AVClub, they had an interview with Rolling Stone columnist Matt Taibbi - AVC: The other night, Larry King was talking about the election with Joy Behar from The View— MT: [Laughs.] There's two intellectual giants debating politics. AVC: Behar was talking about some US Magazine cover where they explore Michelle Obama's relationship with her husband. It's even called something like "Why Barack Loves Her." And ...

Which voice do you want to hear at 3am?

I don't know how I missed this back in January 07, but maybe you did, too. A mic catches Ms. Clinton singing the national anthem in Iowa. It's nearly of American Idol quality, which makes me squirm with intense discomfort. Obama, on the other hand, gets Ted to do his singing for him:

Primary

We voted. Then we returned to caucus. About 200 people show up at our polling location! I hiss at the Clinton line. We wait. A scary man with many large, bulging moles asks me if this is my first caucus. He has been coming since 1968 and has never seen this large a turnout. We sign the sheet.

I have decided to preemptively leave. ...

Who Voted for the War?

I was recently reading this column on obama v clinton, and came to this - ...the biggest problem many Democrats have with Clinton is not the fact that she's a woman, but that she voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq. Had Clinton not voted for the Iraq war (and let's be real, that's what that vote meant), she would be a shoo-in. In fact, it ...

Another Stupid Dream

I had a project due for some class. I got to decide what I was going to do, I just had to record my voice to minidisc as I did it. I waited to the night before the deadline before I could come up with an idea. I finally decided that for this project, in which I could do just about anything I wanted just as ...
