“Down and Out on $250,000 a Year”
Someone call the waaaaaaaahmbulance, and then call ME a doctor because I just shattered all of my ribs laughing so hard. Send the bill to Susie Madrak, she’s the one who did this to me.
But just how flush is a family of four with a $250,000 income? Are they really “rich”? To find the answer, [...]
Obama: Maybe Not So Progressive After All
I love reading things like this:
The simple fact is that the vast majority of progressives, having successfully toiled to elect one of their own president, are invested more in his success than in narrow ideological battles. A small minority of progressives prefer to judge the president’s progressiveness entirely by what he does and not [...]
Revenge of the Van
After completing the $5.00 repair on the van, which had shut me down on the George Washington Bridge in the middle of the 1998 post-Thanksgiving rush, my vehicle was a lot more reliable (although every once in awhile the engine had this strange way of continuing to crank a few times after I shut the [...]

Another reason my blogging has tapered off is that so much of what’s going on in the world can be reduced to one post, over and over and over again: “No Shit, Sherlock”:
As Barack Obama appeared on television Tuesday to declare the end of the U.S. combat role in Iraq, were viewers happiest in Baghdad, [...]

Who Coulda Predicted Joe Lieberman would Stab the Democrats in the Back? Oh, That’s Right: I Did.
HAHAHA! This is RICH:
Politico: Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) said Tuesday that he’d back a GOP filibuster of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s health care reform bill.
Lieberman, who caucuses with Democrats and is positioning himself as a fiscal hawk on the issue, said he opposes any health care bill that includes a [...]
John Boehner’s Hysteria Leads Inevitably to Comedy
I wasn’t been following the ACORN non-story, a fake scandal peddled by Glenn “I May Have Raped and Murdered a Young Girl” Beck, until Congress decided to weigh in on the matter. And you know it wasn’t gonna be good: both the House and the Senate, including large numbers of Democrats including Joe Sestak and [...]

Last night I rode SEPTA regional rail for the first time in a few years. It wasn’t really by choice: my car broke down and I had to get out to Narberth to pick with the Dill Pickles. My buddy Nik said that once you get on the train it takes about 15 minutes [...]
Read More..>>The Philly Inquirer: Where the Last Eight Years Go to Die
So I’m beginning to think that Brian Tierney’s sole motivation for buying the Philadelphia Inquirer was to kill the newspaper. That certainly explains a lot, from taking huge bonuses while the paper foundered into bankruptcy to his peculiar picks for editorial contributors: namely, the most discredited names in the right wing nuthouse. and Phawker reminds [...]
