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)

ESPN.com – MLB – Red Sox help dedicate ballfields honoring Ebersol’s son The death of Teddy Ebersol resonates with me as a parent and as a sports fan (my brother worked for Ebersol while at N.D. and later as a page at NBC Sports)… the Red Sox are a class act, and I can only…

Hiram did a great job accounting for the GOP’s failure to govern responsibly in DuPage County, but it comes at a time when others are (quite justifiably) raising questions about the Democrats’ failure to contest= the vast majority of county races (the Tribune had similar coverage). I’m a local party official, so I certainly share…

I’m really excited to announce our latest customer over at FeedBurner, Geffen Records. I wrote about it over on the company blog, and apparently this new strategy has already lead to at least one album sale. Sometimes it really is that easy! Here’s why I think what Geffen’s doing is important: instead of trying to…

FeedBurner Burning In Alexa Hell – Web it and forget it! Exploring the niche web. Guess it’s only fair, one day after pointing to someone who dreams about FeedBurner, today I should point to someone who thinks we’ve gone to hell. (Not really, but it’s still pretty funny.) (tags: feedburner)
