WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat John Edwards and Republican Rudy Giuliani were abandoning their presidential bids on Wednesday, shrinking the field to two main candidates in each party.
And just when we’d all learned to spell “Giuliani,” too. Well, he ran a campaign engineered for a storybook ending, and that’s what he got. Although I’m […]

[My apologies. Cold medicine is responsible for this. Either that or I’m turning into Mark Russell, in which case you can set this one to “You’re a Grand Old Flag” or something and sing it while you shoot me. Please.]
Hillary beats Romney
Obama beats McCain
Romney, though, keeps Huckabee
From fucking up our game.

Strike or no strike, various side projects and… er… “concerns*” have made me a very busy guy.  So with a house full of “best” screener DVD’s and a solemn commitment to once again be an informed Razzie voter, where am I going to find the time?
I don’t know.  *sniff*  I just don’t know.
I do know […]

I’ve returned, but have a lot of life-reorganizing program activities to conduct today.  Talk amongst yourselves.
I’ll try to check in tomorrow.  Either about Fred Thompson’s withdrawal or the Oscar nominations.  For now I’ll go on record that I don’t think their near-simultaneous announcement was a coincidence.

New York! Just like I…
I’m in New York today (and tomorrow), a-visitin’ and a-drinkin’, but mainly to watch our good pal Ritch Duncan get a-hitched. And seeing the sister, the moms, and the little bundle of nephewage.

“Tonight marks the beginning of a comeback — a comeback for America,” the former Massachusetts governor said.
Is there anyone better at saying absolutely nothing while looking Damned Handsome than Mitt Romney? Anyone who can smilingly hide the frosty vacuum of his innards while making his cultish fringe faith “mainstream” with more pizazz?
Oh, wait, there […]

Magically, my friends and I have been transformed into The Little Guy this year.
We didn’t mean for it to happen. But somehow a lot of us have gone from perfect-toothed dynamic rising-star movers and shakers to hat-holding everymen, shaking our tiny fists at City Hall or corporate HQ. It took only a couple […]

The fact that Hillary Clinton won the New Hampshire primary isn’t nearly as interesting as the fact that so many people were surprised by this. And that surprise? Well, that’s due to the same thing that’s keeping this writer’s strike going despite millions of dollars in losses. [Yes, I know, I’m making this […]

If you’re reading this, it’s by definition because… I’m back. Don’t panic.
Yes, there were some technical problems involving my host. I’m not a completely web-savvy guy, but I’m pretty sure that the problem was that our refluxitative capacitors had a neobaud frink of over 11gs! Well, I don’t need to tell you […]

The Democrats
Hillary has floundered! Obama is surging! Edwards is lying in the weeds. Well, the corn. And I’m not calling him a liar. It’s a… folksy… colloquialism. You know, like the people of Iowa appreciate. And I’m a man of the people. Just folk, that’s me.
And I’m […]
