Life gets in the way

Remember when I said I’d tailor the posts here to what life would allow me to do. Well, I kinda lied.
We’re snowed in here in DC, and I did a great amount of nothing yesterday. Including forgetting to write.
I guess we’re all allowed a day off every once in a while.
But keep your [...]

And this is what I was talking about.

Art that sells itself. Literally.
So when you buy this sculpture, you are legally required to plug it into the internet. At which point it will point itself at eBay and begin an auction for itself.
What the fuck.
In addition to losing your sculpture, you have to pay all eBay fees. And you can [...]

Having trouble keeping it up?

The supermajority is dead.
Can I smell a new age of bipartisanship just over the next ridge? Oh. No. That’s just the lovely smell of bacon coming from my kitchen.
Jokes aside, I do think that the Senate will be able to come together on one issue. Jobs. Oh, don’t be mistaken: [...]

What? Can you repeat that?

Did Mitch McConnell just admit that the previous administration made a mistake?
Holla? Can we maybe get a couple of more admissions?

That didn’t last long

Obama is slammed (again) for the Christmas Day near-bombing.
I guess after all those fun and games and repartee of his visiting with the GOP in Baltimore, we’re back to the good ole politicking.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but no one blamed Bush for 9/11, right? Maybe we should start.
Yeah, not really a news commentary, [...]
