My latest snakes on a train situation. Unreal.

Battlestar Galactica has my vote. (Well, if I had one, I guess.)

One Man was on TV the other night, and complained that instead of saying something intelligible, he was quoted as saying this: “Aurora lost something unique to town, We don’t have a whole lot other towns next to us don’t have. It’s depressing.“ He really is a Republican! (If One Man can crack the Bush…

One of the things that becomes second-nature when working for startups is an aversion to spending unnecessary cash.

For political junkies, Meltzer provides plenty of detail on the inner workings of the Appropriations Committee (quite timely, actually, considering that there’s a nice little scandal brewing between an Appropriations Committee staffer,…

I can’t even begin to count the ways this angers and depresses me. Getting off the train last night, I found a piece of note paper tucked under my windshield wiper. Written on the sheet of paper: “Democrats shouldn’t drive Jap cars!” And on the other side: “Asshole!” Sad. Just sad. (My car – yes,…

YouTube – Al Gore on the Tonight Show Al Gore admits to a “huge feud” with Lindsay Lohan now that he’s a movie star. Hilarious. (tags: humor gore lohan)
