Election Got You Nervous? It’s OK, the Supreme Court’s Ready to Bore You

October 6, 2008
By

Today, the Supreme Court opened for its 2008 term.

September 29, 2008
By

After a glorious week (not) in Kansas and Detroit, I was driving home from SFO the other night, listening to KQED (NPR) and I couldn’t help but think about Arnold Schwarzenegger.  Maybe it’s just because he’s California’s governor and I was glad to be back home, but I think it was probably because he...

Hipsters named Sid:  Sid Viscious, Syd Barrett, and Sidney McCain

By now, everyone knows about McCain’s sweetheart daughter, Meghan. (…at least those of us who roam around the blogosphere…) As the media accurately reports, Meghan is a member of generation facebook, a not-so-secret admirer of Dr. Kissinger’s shoes, and a savvy politician in the making.  She used her Generation-Blackberry know-how, her degree from Columbia...
