Thank You Kindra Arnesen for Exposing BP’s Lies

Via Susie:
What BP is claiming is that if fishermen choose not to talk part in the oil spill cleanup, BP will consider that as potential income declined and deduct it from their claims.
In other words, if you didn’t want to risk your health and expose yourself to their toxic waste, you’re going to suffer financially [...]

Specter Losing: Not Surprising

Posted by Brendan on May 11th, 2010 filed in Democratic Idiocy, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, blogs, calling bullshit, economy, elections, media, politics

It’s always fun when dirty hippy bloggers are more than a few steps in front of the conventional wisdom. I’m writing, of course, of the predictable collapse of Arlen Specter: while both of our big dailies endorsed the senior Senator, one of the only worthwhile writers on their staff got it right. Take it [...]

Credit Where Credit is Due: A Brief Update on Ann Althouse

Posted by Brendan on March 17th, 2010 filed in blogs, gratitude, internets and toobz

Even though I’m having a lot of fun at the conservatives’ expense with the last two posts about photos of me gargling teabags (richly deserved fun, I might add), I do want to give credit where credit is due, and Ann deserves some credit.
With some trepidation, I emailed Ms. Althouse about the photo at her [...]

More on the Teabags

Posted by Brendan on March 17th, 2010 filed in BAH, blogs, calling bullshit, comedy gold!, politics, right wing dingalings

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 [...]

The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Posted by Brendan on March 17th, 2010 filed in blogs, comedy gold!, internets and toobz, right wing dingalings

You may remember that last year, I went to the Philadelphia pathetic hissy fit Tea Bag Party, and had some fun at the expense of the lunatics. One of the shots my brother Ray took may have even ended up on Bill O’Reilly’s show, described as “so cile I can’t show it” or some such [...]

Continued Blogcation

Posted by Brendan on March 16th, 2010 filed in blathering, blogs, meta

I’m still on blogcation, and it’s kind of awesome.
David Brooks wrote some truly idiotic shit this morning. I read about it at OTHER blogs, but refused to pollute my own mind with his shit-smearings, saving myself the outrage necessary to respond to it.
CNN apparently hired Erick Erickson, the moron who runs the Red State blog [...]

Blogcation

Posted by Brendan on March 10th, 2010 filed in blogs, meta

hey everyone!
I realize I haven’t posted in awhile, and wanted you all to know I am alive and well. I’m just taking a brief blogcation: there’s only so much writing a guy can do before he has to refresh the old brain. Besides, I’ve been up to my eyeballs in work-related writing, [...]

A Failure of Leadership

Posted by Brendan on February 3rd, 2010 filed in Democratic Idiocy, blogs, economy, elections, health care, politics

Over at Daily Kos, some fucking hippy is arguing that defeat is a winnign strategy. No, i’m totally serious:
Geez, don’t you get it yet? The more Obama is seen extending his hand and the more the Republicans obstruct, the more likely it is that the average American out there will get the message that the [...]

Personal Note

Posted by Brendan on January 8th, 2010 filed in Philadelphia, blogs, economy, politics

If there was one person in the Philadelphia blogosphere that was an outspoken critic of the Barack Obama candidacy, it was Susie Madrak. Susie’s never been one to mince words, and as a result she was vilified for her point of view. I know, because I was one of the people who would [...]
