I’ve only been back in LA for an hour or so, having returned from Baltimore triumphant. Last night was my one-and-only campaign appearance alongside my running mate Peter Sagal (we figure that if you get it right the first time, why would you have to keep doing it? The other campaigns should take […]

My Vice Presidential candidate and I will be spending the next two days campaigning in Maryland, pressing the flesh, speechifying, connecting with the American people.
Okay, we’ll be doing a live “Wait Wait” in Baltimore.
But let’s multitask. Bring your banners and buttons. We’ve put Charlie Pierce, that beloved Bostonian, in charge of the […]

When I have a disagreement with the top of the ticket, I like to rub his face in it.

Peter here again, trying to keep it brief so as not to force Adam’s actually funny entries too far down the page. You’ve heard about Jon Stewart on Crossfire, you’ve read the excerpts and maybe even the whole transcript, but you need to see the actual video. And keep this in mind: he was given […]

I’ll be in good ol’ New York City for the next couple of days, shooting a segment for NBC’s “Weekend Today” about “Life After Skippy.” For those of you tempted to visit the preceding link, please understand that this mockumentary is done with extensive age makeup. I won’t really look like that for […]

From last week’s debate:
KERRY: Well, two leading national news networks have both said the president’s characterization of my health-care plan is incorrect. One called it fiction. The other called it untrue…
