The GOP’s identity politicking to the Dem’s identity politicking:

“Oh, it is so on…!” **** h/t Darleen

protein wisdom delivers his review of Barack Obama’s coliseum speech

All’s I can tell you is, I doubt it was as entertaining as the re-runs of “Monk” I watched instead. — Though I grant, it was probably a bit more street, as the kids say.* **** update: Inexplicably, these folks all bothered to turn on and tune in. Reached for comment, the ghost of Timothy Leary papered his uppers with happyface tabs, then tried, with mixed success, to reach the

“the yin and yang of intimate interpersonal relationships, 35” (from the protein wisdom conceptual series)

yin: “Some days, I just want to come home, draw a nice hot bath, light a few scented candles, have a glass of really good red wine, and let the bubbles and bath oils melt away my troubles. You know?” yang: “If by ‘you know’ you mean something like, ‘you’ve got about about thirty seconds to dry yourself off and get my fucking supper on the table, or else I’m

Brave New Wor(l)ds

— A Utopia, of sorts, where “unity” prevails — even if in order to do so free speech is (like some bad Disney project) “re-imagined” as a right that is heavily policed by the state, with the upshot being that only the speech that doesn’t hurt or offend or cause a rift in the progressive unity continuum is protected, with the rest relegated to a growing repository for what is

The Parallax (Re)View

The more we know about Obama, the less we know about Obama. Maybe if we had those special glasses, like Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones — or even Roddy Piper…

The Kelly Leak Effect

Good. Now if a few concerned parents would get together and do something similar to all those brainy egghead kids, I wouldn’t have to waste my time helping the boy with his homework. So, like, win-win.

Flashback: “Internet privacy: rights vs. privileges (an open forum),” Feb 2007

In light of the late unpleasantness here — and as a reminder of where I stand on certain issues and why I believe the way I do — I’m going to reprint this earlier post that tackles the ethics of revealing the names of anonymous attackers. You are free to discuss this, but I ask that you please keep it civil. In the year and a half since I wrote

convention coverage

I’d been contacted by several people about doing DNC convention coverage, but now that the convention’s here, I haven’t really heard much more about it (possibly because of email problems). Michelle Malkin is on it, as are the folks at PJM, along with several local bloggers — including the strangely named People’s Press Collective. Zombie is also there for LGF and Pajamas. I offered my services to PJM — they

What price, unity? (Or: “bitch best have my money!”)

From the AP: A black delegate for Hillary Rodham Clinton says she was called an “Uncle Tom” by Illinois Senate President Emil Jones, one of Barack Obama’s political mentors. Chicago political consultant Delmarie Cobb says Jones made the remarks Saturday night while discussing her support for Clinton. She called the remark “fighting words” and unacceptable. Jones, who also is black, said Monday that he never uttered the slur. He says

My eleventh brief conversation with the 2mg regimen of Klonopin (clonazepam) prescribed me by my GP

me: “I gotta tell you, buddy. Mixing you with Absinthe and some quarter cask single malt last night? Made me feel like one of them alien abductees. It’s like I lost time.” Klonopin: “Yeah, too bad, that. Because I had the video camera running. And I can tell you that the only anal probing going on here last night happened when you stumbled over your swivel chair and cornholed yourself
