Why I Left You that Shitty Tip
Dear Waitress at the Dock Street Brewery:
You may remember me: I came in a little before 7:30 on last week with my 6-year old son to order a pizza. By the time we got our pie, it was nearly 9:00 PM, and as a result I left you a tip that was less than [...]
Deep Thought
I’m losing my mind at my job and in my life.
Losing my mind, and not in the good way.
I’m just tired of everything. I’m tired of writing, tired of being broke, tired of working, tired of owning a house, tired of being a parent, tired of people, almost (but not quite) tired of music and [...]
Why Blog?
I’ve noticed that, between bursts of outrage, my blogging has systematically slowed down. There’s good reason for that: the motivation behind political writing (well, mine at least) is the feeling that you’re making a difference. But lately, I haven’t had that feeling, and it’s different from when the Republicans didn’t care what the [...]

Here’s something I just don’t get about conservatives.
Here you have a group of people who consider themselves tough, clear-eyed realists. Remember when they were planning the war in Iraq (i use that term “planning” loosely)? they were all about “black coffee breakfasts” and shock and awe. When Americans torment and torture Muslim prisoners by [...]
Shorter Gail Collins: Americans Are Selfish Pussies
And she’s rigt, too:
As I was saying, last November, the Justice Department announced that the terror trial of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed would be held in Manhattan. Almost everyone in New York rallied around. This was seen as standing up to terrorism.
“It is fitting that 9/11 suspects face justice near the World Trade Center, where so [...]
Losers. Total F*%^ing LOSERS
The Democrats, in the wake of Massachusetts, are a bunch of whiney little fucking crybabies.
First, they beg the republicans to stop being so damned MEEEEEEEAN:
New Senate Democratic talking points, distributed in response to last night’s special election in Massachusetts show the party pre-emptively placing the blame for a lackluster agenda moving forward on Republicans, who [...]
Taxing the Middle Class
UPDATED BELOW WITH VIDEO
oh look, another broken promise from Obama:
President Obama told House Democratic leaders at a meeting on Wednesday that they should include a tax on high-priced insurance policies favored by the Senate in the final version of far-reaching health care legislation, aides said…
But House Democrats have resisted the idea, which is also strongly [...]
Are You Being Served?
At Nara, a sushi place at the corner for 40th and Spruce Streets in West Philadelphia, I most certainly was not. Nor will I EVER go back.
Last night, after seeing Brendan Cooney’s masterful score for “Battleship Potemkin” (a one-night-only performance), Christina and I hurried over to Nara for birthday sushi. The restaurant closed at 10:00, [...]
health care reform miasma

This health care thing is driving me nuts.
I honestly don’t know who is accurate or not anymore. For every post you put up about the death of the public option, someone else who i respect just as much is saying the exact opposite.
here’s Marc Stier, a local hcan activist [...]
Deep Thought
Driving 20 hours for a half-hour of time with my son is pathetic.
I suppose I could fly, but it would cost even more after I get done with car rental and everything else.
