\”The President who made things up.\”
KO strikes again. Read the transcript; Watch the video. If what he says is true, he could end up in Git\’Mo for that one. As such, I applaud it. I\’d offer to start collecting for his (and mine, and your) defense fund, but we all know that\’s passé as well.

Remember when…
Remember when we had a President who could string together three words without following it with an eight second pause? http://thinkprogress.org/2006/09/24/clinton-video/ I think you all should watch this. (Sorry about the sound quality.) I don\’t bring this up to be partisan – the Democrats certainly have their own faults. I\’ll admit, I never considered Mr.…

Net Neutrality, Part Deux
If you\’re wondering where part une is, that\’s here. So I\’m sitting here at the computer desk, doing a few things, trying to ignore the fact that Joe Morgan is yet again babbling incoherently on my television, and a commercial comes on. I\’m not really listening to that, either, but something about it gets through.…

Keith Olbermann
Reason number [insert random numeral here] why I love YouTube: After watching KO read this excellent and thoughtful essay on-air last night I decided I wanted to post up a link to the show here for the world to see. Then I thought: Ya know, if I wait twelve hours, it\’ll be on YouTube. Sure…

Risk Management
Ovaltine. Why do they call it Ovaltine? The glass is round, the container is round – why don\’t they call it Roundtine? This risk management stuff you gave me is gold, Jerry! Yes, I often end up making jokes when I\’m frustrated by current world events. I\’ve got three links for you people, read them…

Voting Rights Act
I really hope that the fact that Bush and his fellow Republicans chose to renew the Voting Right Act one year early isn\’t lost on people. Why do it one year early? Because it is an election year, and the Republicans desperately needs some good PR, especially with the \”minority\” voters. But this got me…

The 80s Are Back & Dog Climbs Tree
You know the old saying \”Everything comes back into style\”? Well the 80s are definitely back these days. Leggings are making a comeback, bubble skirts, and even a war in Lebanon. You flip on the news today and you\’d swear it was 1983. I\’m waiting for the corpse of Yassir Arafat to climb out of his grave in…

The Tubes Will be Plugged!
Ok, I\’m gonna put a link at the bottom of this to explain where I\’m coming from, but let\’s try the concept on for size first. We\’re talking today about \’Net Neutrality. Now bear in mind, I work with people who work with computers, and I realize that you should never take someone\’s understanding of…

Getting comfy…
Ahhhhh… these new digs here at SP, while unfamiliar, are pretty snazzy . So let\’s try and get comfortable with a familiar style of entry… Go here, and come back. I found this article quite interesting. Mostly because I firmly believe that baseball can be used as a metaphor for life, but it does not…
