What a great little item from yesterday. The City of New York finally settled a lawsuit over a 2003 incident where the NYPD rounded up 52 protesters who were demonstrating against the (then) impending War in Iraq:
They were charged with blocking pedestrians, but videotapes show that at their most annoying, they might have slowed [...]
Cindy McCain has made a point of attacking Michelle Obama’s patriotism by repeatedly evoking this gaffe:
“For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country,”
Perhaps saying that was a mistake on Ms. Obama’s part. After all, she does owe America so much for making her work twice as hard for everything [...]
Besides the Presidential race, there are dozens of compelling stories about Congressional, Senate and local races where progressives and Democrats are competitive in places where they haven’t really competed for decades. Like, if I told you that this totally hot, extremely bang-tastic, very progressive 32-year old Yale educated rancher-stud was mere inches away from winning [...]
In 1999 I joined Working Assets long distance. I did it almost entirely because they sent you two free coupons for Ben & Jerrys with each bill, and who wouldn’t like that? In 2002 I switched to their cellphone service. In the early Wild West days of socially-responsible living, Working Assets was a gamble. It [...]
is the Pope reimbursing New York and Washington D.C. for the costs of all the security for his visit? Seriously. I don’t know. [Update: Maybe I'm being to snippy and harsh. I read this article about the Pope and immigration this morning and it was pretty interesting.]
In a clear attempt to divert attention from John McCain calling his wife a trollop and a cunt, Rob Lowe has announced, via Huffington Post natch, that he is being blackmailed for $1.5 million dollars by a former in-home worker (nanny? chef?) who will accuse Lowe and his wife of “a vicious laundry list of [...]
He’s 22 and managed to get a $300 million contract to supply ammunition to Afghanistan. I guess I like bad boys. I wouldn’t mind Efraim Diveroli every other Saturday from 3-4 in the prison trailer.
I kind of hate Elton John, mostly because whenever someone important dies (Ryan White, Princess Diana) he just replaces Norma Jean with their name in Candle in the Wind instead of writing something new and then sings it at the funeral and I think that’s tacky.
But today the evidence is mounting that Elton John [...]
I have been a life long supporter of the objectification of women, as well as the matching of one’s sneakers to one’s ballcap. However, there are certain music video trends which I simply refuse to get behind. I take particular issue with the latest pop-culture parody of American excess: stretch SUVs.
Lil’ Wayne has taken it [...]
Top DNC/Hillary fundraisers are fucking blackmailing exerting pressure on Howard Dean to swing the election for their candidate show more leadership and find a resolution to the Florida and Michigan clusterfuck clusterfuck.
However you view the revote situation, the implication of this “pressure” couldn’t be more clear: “If you want the money to keep coming [...]
