The more Jeffrey Feldman I read, the more and more I like what he writes. He has an excellent article about why the Lamont victory is so important for American democracy. It’s not about the war. It’s not about any referendum on President Bush. Please don’t believe the spin that has been accepted by the […]
Less than 5 miles from my house, a horrible hate crime was committed against a gay couple new to the area. It is a shame this has happened, a shame on all Virginians. We are quickly becoming the laughing stock of the nation with our crazy legislature more interested in what happens in your bedroom […]
Mike Leavitt is just the latest miserable example of a tradition that dates all the way back to the American Revolution in the late 18th century and perhaps even longer. Wealthy and powerful Americans are experts at dodging their taxes, and once again the rich get richer while the rest be damned. I want to […]
Kudos to the local police in Maryland for foiling this domestic terrorism attempt. Wonder if George will elevate the threat condition to Orange or something to scare up some election support and/or distract us from Iraq, the budget, the environment, the fleecing of the taxpayers…
Erci and I finally got to hear Jim Webb speak in person at this morning’s Dulles Area Democrats breakfast session in Herndon at Amphora Diner. In person Webb is every bit as impressive as his many fans over at Raising Kaine have said. The great news is that both Harris Miller and Jim Webb will […]
There’s quite a lot of confusion over the issues of “Net Neutrality” versus “Hands Off The Internet” on the talk shows, news blogs, and a very confused mainstream media. Part of the problem is that both camps have chosen extremely poor names for their own causes. In case anyone is wondering I am wholeheartedly endorsing […]
So this morning, all my attempts to use google are returning the strangest error, as if I were a spammer or hacker program trying to harvest their site for information. The message reads: “We’re sorry… … but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, […]
Two weeks ago Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central fame was the guest satirist at the White House Correspondents Association annual dinner. President Bush was there also, and he took part in a funny skit with impersonator Steve Bridges. That skit was covered on every major network news channel. What those same networks did not cover […]
John Gruber has an excellent and very sarcastic article poking a little fun at the recent hype about the possibility that someday there may in fact be a virus for Mac OSX. The fact is well known and common sense, but why is there repeated story after repeated story about new Mac viruses (there are […]
I love Jon Stewart’s awesome show. Fun segment about blogs. It have to confess, I get about 65% of my news from blogs now as they are faster to publish and have more depth than anything on TV, Radio, and traditional newspapers! Accuracy still needs to be double checked and confirmed, but amazingly – the […]
