Every day, I go bearish on M&I Bank
Every single day, I log into Marketwatch and go bearish on M&I Bank, a huge supporter of fascist Wisconsin governor Scott Walker. The unions are boycotting them, and they are losing money hand over fist as more and more people learn what a shitty, toxic, criminal enterprise Wisconsin’s largest bank really is:
M&I is also the [...]
When a Story Isn’t a Story
So, have you heard about the disorganized group of pro-wikileaks hackers called Anonymous, who earlier this week found out that they were the target of HBGary, an internet security firm with ties to Bank of America and the US government, proceeded to hack into the firm, take down their domain and dump 40,000 company emails [...]

Dear Secretary LaHood:
Although I am disappointed that Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was not selected as one of the many states to receive rail funding rejected by the governors of Ohio, New Jersey, and Wisconsin, I must applaud your toughness in the face of extremist obstruction. Thank you for not only refusing to bend to the demands of [...]
In Which I Annoy Bart Stupak (and Wind Up Number One Recommeded Diary at Daily Kos)
I think they’re having a bad day at Bart Stupid’s Stupak’s DC office.
I called to inquire about whether the amendment forces women with dead fetuses to carry to term, but the minute I got the word “Stupak Amendment” out of my mouth, the woman who answered the phone began screaming at me at the top [...]

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, [...]
More Proof the Right Wingers Are Short-Sighted and Not Very Bright
Back when the Bush Adminsitration was setting up its no fly lists and terrorist watch lists and warrantless wiretaps and habeas corpus-free judicial proceedings and all of its other activities, people like me were sounding the alarm that anyone could end up on these lists. Conservatives typically responded with a glib “if you haven’t [...]

Dear Nevada Republicans:
I’m sure you’re suspicious about a letter from a Democrat, but I promise you I am not here to give you bad advice. Not this time, anyway.
I’m writing because I saw your ad targeting Hapless Harry Reid, and I have to admit, I am underwhelmed.
Sure, this may appeal to base Republicans with all [...]

I bank at Commerce bank, which was recently eaten by TD Banknorth. The new owners are some of the biggest assholes around, and I will explain why.
Earlier this year, Christina and I discovered our oil tank was about to die, and after surveying our options decided to convert to natural gas. This is [...]
