Geek Chic: One Time for Your Mind
Geek chic is in. Even the New York Times knows it. While in previous years that would mean that it’s already passé, Obama has ushered in a celebration of the passé – both a revival of the cult of the individual and a trumph of sincerity. I know that it’s odd to label the onset [...]

Chilling with Human Rights Abusers? Bad move, McCain.
John Sidney McCain III. You’d think that this candidate, of all people, would not want to hang out with a dictator heading a notoriously murderous and oppressive regime. But no. The Huffington Post reports that McCain hung out with Augusto Pinochet, whose reign was marked by the assasination without trial of over 3,000 civilians and [...]

Terrorists for McCain '08: Why Al Queda Loves John and Why You Should Not
Check out this article by Nicolas Kristof of the New York Times for all of the details on Al Queda’s endorsement of McCain for president and why it makes a lot of sense that the most “anti-America” position supports the most “pro-America” position: extremism breeds extremism.

"War Has Got to Be A Last Option . . . I Believe that America Has to Exercise All Options"
Right. Buckle up, because we’re about to jump on the Hate-on-Palin bandwagon. Firstly, when a vice-presidential candidate evokes bitter articles from people from her own home state, political party, political faction, and gender, who used to consider her a close friend, that’s a bad sign. Secondly, when a vice-presidential candidate stalls her way through two [...]

Newsflash! The Right Has Discovered Sexism!
What’s this? I’ve heard that the Right has discovered a new kind of discrimination that occurs… wait, wait, this is just coming in… against women, of all people.
