Winning over governing

UPDATE: I write all of this and then go read Ezra and he’s written what I wish I had written in the first place. Don’t bother reading what I wrote, read him and then pretend like I was going to write that too. The key bit from Ezra:

Today, McCain chose his campaign over his presidency. [...]

I guess he wasn’t really acting

David Duchovny is, in my opinion, a highly underrated actor. I’ve pretty much always enjoyed his work, beginning with X-Files (not, ahem, Red Shoe Diaries). And yet now I learn that Duchovny has checked himself into rehab for sex addiction. This is interesting because Duchovny currently stars in Californication, a Shotime series in which he [...]

Daily Show’s Obama bio video

Genius.

Senator Kerry last night

For my money, last night Senator Kerry made the best speech of the convention so far. He absolutely nailed it. My favorite part was this:
I have known and been friends with John McCain for almost 22 years, but every day now I learn something new about Candidate McCain,” Kerry said. “To those who still [...]

Compare and contrast the enthusiasm

Tonight Senator Barack Obama is going to give a speech at the Democratic Convention in front of an estimated 75,000 people, with tickets being basically impossible to get.
Tomorrow Senator John McCain is having a rally where he’s probably going to unveil his Vice Presidential pick in front of 10,000 people. And yet there are [...]

McCain gets testy with Time

McCain at first seemed happy enough to do the interview. But his mood quickly soured. The McCain on display in the 24-minute interview was prickly, at times abrasive, and determined not to stray off message.
Here’s some of [...]

Don’t give up Ezra

Ezra’s not feeling the convention:
The first two days of the convention were wasted, or seemed so from my vantage point. Tonight, Joe Biden will rip into McCain. And tomorrow, Obama will do whatever he does. Then on Friday, at noon, John McCain will announce his vice presidential nominee, strangling any convention bounce in the crib. [...]

Kinda into Jason Mraz right now

I can neither confirm nor deny that this is my favorite song right now:

Now Matthews and Olbermann get snippy

There must be something in the water over in Denver that the MSNBC crew is drinking:

Whats next, Brokaw and Williams exchange headlocks? via

You and me both

Its almost like Shalom Auslander is reading my mind:
Here’s the thing about people: I don’t really like them. That’s why I find racism so curious. There are so many reasons to dislike people, you going to go with color? So I avoid the people whenever possible, try to keep my distance. Its really better [...]
