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, [...]

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 [...]

Word to the Wise

Posted by Brendan on December 29th, 2009 filed in blogs, family, meta, parenting

Sam is visiting, so I’m not really doing too much blogging this week. However, there’s some good stuff brewing. Later this evening, I’ll be writing about our adventures with US Airways’ incompetence, as well as their surely deliberate failure to implement a complaints department (amazingly, only accessible via FAX, I shit you not).
Also, for [...]

Apologies…

Posted by Brendan on December 22nd, 2009 filed in blogs, life, meta

I just fired up the blog for the first time in a few days and saw Kinmo’s posting hoping that I’m OK. That’s what happens when you stop posting for awhile. I apologize for dropping off the face of the internets, but I’ve been pretty busy doing things in the physical world.
I’m fine [...]

Brendan Skwire, 10/19/09:
ike I always say, we’ll see.
you get a case of beer if we get health care reform, with a robust public option available on day one.
it’s a one-sided wager I will be happy to lose.
New York Times, 10/29/09:
Under pressure from moderate-to-conservative members of the House Democratic caucus, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has decided [...]

Jane Hamsher Scarred Me Tonight

This is one of the most disturbing but hilarious metaphors I have ever heard. The opportunities for photoshopping are simply maginificent.

More Unintended Consequences of My Number One Post

Posted by Brendan on October 19th, 2009 filed in blogs, comedy, meme, meta, random, ridiculous

Back in March, I noted my number one post was my tribute to Meghan McCain’s breasts.
That’s funny enough. This weekend, it got even better.
As you’ve all noticed, I haven’t been blogging as much lately (something I wrote about earlier this month). So color me surprised when I looked at my sitemeter this saturday, typically one [...]

Reaching the Point

Posted by Brendan on October 5th, 2009 filed in blogs, meta, politics

I’m sure quite a few of my readers have noticed I haven’t been updating as much here as I used to, and i figured you’re owed an explanation.
Primarily, work has been REALLY busy. I’m a grant writer working in one of the worst funding climates I’ve ever experienced. So I’ve been really busy looking for [...]
