Brett Favre Did Not Play the Game like a Kid

March 7, 2008

They are lies, I tell you. Those words you heard ten thousand times from ESPN and Peter King and the NFL Network and everyone else over the past two days, I’m here to tell you it’s just not true. Brett Favre did not play the game like a kid. It’s hard to believe he’s gone. […]

The Top Ten Reasons Republicans Shouldn’t Fear Barack Obama in November

February 29, 2008

Barring a shocking turn of events, Barack Obama will effectively seal the nomination of the Democratic Party on March 4th. While Hillary Clinton may still pull off victories in Ohio and Texas, she would have to win by large margins to have a realistic path to victory – which seems unlikely given the increasingly desperate […]

Evangelicals and John McCain

February 25, 2008

The decades-long relationship between John McCain and evangelical Christians has had more ups and downs than a Coney Island roller coaster. There is little question that during his 2000 campaign, McCain relished his very public conflicts with the leadership of the evangelical base, and he made his list of Christian activist enemies even longer during […]

Oscar Night Rambling

February 24, 2008

The interesting thing about tonight, in my opinion, is that nearly everyone who’s won so far has actually deserved it. That’s rare indeed. Bardem and the Coen Brothers deserved both wins (and No Country will probably take Best Picture barring an upset). The Cotillard over Christie upset was unforeseen and really quite nice, especially because […]

Bonus: it also includes the greatest John Junior Feinstein parody you will ever read. This […]

The Big Rock Candy Mountain Candidate

February 21, 2008

For years, I’ve had conversations with friends in politics that all conclude with something like this: “We’re never going to fix the Republican brand until we get our leadership to start recognizing that what a brand is, and that candidates need to sell themselves not by looking at other candidates, but by looking at Nike.” […]

NYC’s Crack Tax

February 19, 2008

>> All I have to say is that I think it is completely unfair and bigoted the way New York is targeting the plumber community.

David Mamet’s “Redbelt”

February 18, 2008

>> I’m thinking if not for the director whose project this is, “MMA drama featuring Tim Allen” doesn’t attract my attention any longer than I can blurt out how pathetic Hollywood thinks America must be. As it is, I’m just wondering where Mamet sticks Rebecca Pidgeon.

The Netherlands vs. Islam = No Contest

February 18, 2008

>> “The Dutch government is planning emergency evacuation of its nationals and diplomats from the Middle East should the Wilders film be shown. It is alarmed about the impact on Dutch business. ‘Our Prime Minister is a big coward. The government is weak,’ says Wilders. ‘They hate my guts and I don’t like them either.’” […]
