Thursday Olympic Preview: Competitive hugging.

The amazing Margot put me on to the big event Thursday: The Women’s Gold Medal Match in Beach Volleyball, starring the US dream team of Misty May and Kerri Walsh. Apparently they hug. A lot.

How cute is that!? Also who in the world is named Misty May, and if your name was Misty May are [...]

But then again…

Wilder raises a good question about the target audience for my post below. Here is a excerpt from our IM conversation:
Wilder: As I stated, I think the question comes down to who you think you’re reaching.
Stirling: That is a good question.
Wilder: If you tell my mother she needs to roll up her sleeves, she’ll throw [...]

I think it’s time for a pep talk.

I know this is probably the last thing you want to hear right now. I just think you ought to know. Obama is going to lose.
We are going to have the most conservative Supreme Court we have ever had. We are going to lose the right to an abortion. We are going to find ourselves [...]

I love you, Rachael Maddow.

My pretend girlfriend, Rachael Maddow, is going to get her own show on MSNBC! She will be replacing Dan Abrams, the hot yet kinda weird lawyer guy who spits when he talks, in the 9pm, post Olbermann slot.
I first fell in love with Rachael Maddow when she co-hosted Unfiltered on Air America Radio along with [...]

We broke the internet…

Somehow yesterday we managed to do something horribly wrong that caused our homepage (and you’ll have to excuse me if I get to technical here) to go wack-a-doodle.
Rest assured that we have absolutely no idea what happened or how to fix it and we will probably just end up throwing out our site design and [...]

Gay Marry It … or Abort It? 8/18/08

So the Olympics are in full swing and I have a thing or two to say about them. First, Michael Phelps is toe-up. I’m sorry. Second, how great was the synchronized diving? I love how they get right out of the pool and shower together it’s so precious. Lastly, why does NBC want that gymnast [...]

headline of the day.

oh girl don’t be so sure it gets HOT in that shower don’t ask don’t tell okay.

John McCain, President of The Nation of Whinners

John McCain, who was a prisoner of war and is therefore immune from any and all criticism, is really really mad that the bad mean liberal media is saying that someone else said something bad about him.
On Sunday’s Meet The Press Andrea Mitchell wondered how in the hell the bumbling John McCain had been able [...]

Straight Talk for the rest of us.

I have always loved Howard Dean. He revolutionized the way Democrats run campaigns with his fancy internet fund raising and 50 state strategery. In many ways he was like the metal skeleton beta-version of the unstoppable liquid metal Obama. Also, he totally would have won in 2004 if John Edwards had announced that he was [...]

This is the best website ever.

It’s a right-wing parody of MoveOn.org (or something?) and it’s amazing. It does have a very funny photoshop job on Michael Moore and also repeats that untrue thing about Al Gore saying he invented the internet (which he didn’t really say.)
