Cow farts collected in plastic tank for global warming study I just felt that you had a right to know. Canadian forensics experts have found that two of the five feet that have washed ashore onto islands near Vancouver belong(ed?) to the same man. Since all but one are right feet, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that the left foot belong(s/ed) to him.

This is the sort of thing that made me say that O!s mortgage interest rate was comparatively small potatoes. While aggressive evictions are making rent-stabilized apartments increasingly scarce in New York, Representative Charles B. Rangel is enjoying four of them, including three adjacent apartments in a sprawling penthouse overlooking Upper Manhattan, courtesy of one of New York’s premier real estate developers. Mr. Rangel, the powerful Democrat who is chairman of

Excitable Andy is getting slightly excitable about the sense that Barack Obama’s “ample self-regard is lapsing into hubris”: That simulated faux-presidential seal was both tacky, silly and presumptive – a small version of “Mission Accomplished” Obama could well do without. The decision to give his acceptance speech in a stadium, rather than the traditional convention hall is also an unnecessary over-reach. The night will be freighted enough with history; it

Maverick John McCain has disavowed comments from his campaign co-chair and economic adviser Phil Gramm that the nation’s economic malaise is a “mental recession” and that “[w]e have sort of become a nation of whiners.”  Gramm stands by his comments, though he now says he meant that the nation’s leaders were whiners, not its citizens. It may be hard for McCain to throw Gramm under the Straight Talk Express.  First, Gramm

Then, sometime between 3:45-4:15 pm (EDT), he’ll climb back aboard his tiny space ship and light out for whatever the fuck planet it is he comes from, where he’ll enjoy a couple of Miller Chills and a tiny plate of warmed-over irrelevance while watching a “Petticoat Junction” marathon on his interstellar satellite dish: A press conference will be held today at the Cannon HOB Terrace at 2pm (EDT) Sessions of

Feministe and Pandagon readers simultaneously terrified, a little thrilled. From the WSJ: The likely Democratic presidential nominee will need to win over the female voters who rallied behind Sen. Clinton during the prolonged and often heated primary. Before claiming the nomination, Sen. Obama showed strong support among affluent whites and African-American voters, but struggled to gain the backing of older and working-class women in some states. On Feb. 5, or

Over interest rate paid for mortgage, stating that it’s outside the survey guidelines. I think it’s petty. If you want to file a complaint, file it about Dingy Harry’s land deals.

Sean Oxendine and others are speculating that Brack Obama’s fundraising may be petering out.  I think it highly unlikely that John McCain will somehow have outraised Obama in June, though I could easily see them falling short of the prior $100 million dollar hype. Their speculation, however, triggered a bit of my own.  Web traffic to Obama’s site has been tailing off and is currently at a six-month low.  The

Media Matters hacks David Brock and Paul Waldman have written a book arguing that the establishment media has always given John McCain a “free ride,” which appears to be a theme that Waldman, ThinkProgress, TPM’s Josh Marshall and others in the proggosphere are carrying into the current campaign, claiming that the establishment media is unfairly favoring McCain over Barack Obama. The Associated Press seems to be the favored target to date,

Pamela Anderson stages KFC protest in Australia: “I’ve been in Australia filming Big Brother House, in which my housemates and I are confined and sealed off from the outside world, much like the chickens who are crammed inside barns for KFC,” she said in the letter, which was released by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Poor Barb Wire! I dig breast meat, but I’ve never really considered
