Brave New Films clearly shows us that FoxNews is using the same attacks on Barack Obama that they used on John Kerry in 2004. ...

I spoke with the Asheville Red Cross.  I asked what are we doing and what can we do to help. here’s the response (emphasis added is mine) - The American Red Cross deployed about 5600 disaster relief volunteers from all over the country to assist the evacuees affected by Hurricane Gustav. Fifteen of them are from Western North Carolina. Hundreds of these volunteers are being moved to Florida this weekend, as part of an estimated 2500 volunteers who will be needed for shelters, mass care and feeding there in the coming week. Other volunteers from WNC, along with Emergency Relief Vehicles ...

Mulberry 360 Nueces St. 320-0297. We instantly liked Mulberry — right across the street from the Austin Music Hall — but have heard some stray complaints about the cramped spaces, warm wine servings and noisy crowds. That hasn’t been our personal experience, especially given the intense little bites and carefully selected varietals on hand. In our view, owner Michael Polombo has planted a winner at the base of the 360 Tower. He suggested the coppa and gorgonzola crostini with honey, paired with either a red, Trere Vigna Sangiovese ‘06 from the Emilia Romagna region in Italy, or if you prefer a white, ...

yes, i know posts have been nonexistent this week. i'm busy, ok? damn, cut me a break!!!!anyway, the reason for the photo above is simple. in the history of rock-n-roll, there are some seriously FLY bitches that rule the school. to me, those rock chicks are gods. among them: miss joan jett, miss pj harvey, miss liz phair, the misses of the go-gos, miss lita ford, miss pat benatar, miss wendy o'williams, miss stevie nicks, and the biggest, baddest bitches in music: miss ann and miss nancy wilson. aka HEART. i love these bitches. i do. they snorted it, ...

Let me start by saying that I’m going to give the Log Cabin Republicans the benefit of the doubt that they choose their party and their candidate based on their political philosophy and not just their positions on LGBT issues. I said as much in a comment on a post at Independent Gay Forum that, to me, didn’t seem to extend the same courtesy to those of us at the other side of the political spectrum. But obviously, if your vote is determined by gay issues, it’s going to go to Obama/Biden. If you think Obama is better for gays ...

Here are some of the people writing about some of the stuff I wish I had time to write about, for September 5th from 13:17 to 13:24:

• Mike Lux: Different Than My Small-Town Values - Many of my family and friends in small-town America are Republicans, but they're generally not this kind of mean Republican. The modern Republican party likes to call itself the party of Reagan, and Reagan did remind me of a lot of those small-town folks I know and liked- I disagreed with their politics, but they had a friendliness and warmth that I appreciated. Palin and

When I heard that McCain has used royalty-free stock photography for the back-drops for his big speech, I initially wasn’t all that concerned. Believe me, in my job I spend alot of time perusing stock photography. It’s a lot easier than lugging around all the camera and lighting equipment needed to take professional looking photos, and a lot cheaper than hiring a professional photographer to do it for you. Plus you can get shots you otherwise wouldn’t have access too (after all, it would have been really hard for the GOP to find black folks at the convention to ...

The 2008 US Open Women's semifinals are now set. Mad Professah correctly predicted 3 of the 4 women's quarterfinal match results. Elena Dementieva RUS (5) vs. Jelena Jankovic SRB (2). Dementieva has always had her best Grand Slam sucess at the US Open, having reached the finals once (2004) and the semifinals four times (2000, 2004, 2005 and 2008). Jankovic was the #1 player in the World for one week during the Beijing Olympics while Dementieva was winning her second Olympic singles medal, a Gold eight years after winning the Silver in Sydney. The two ...

I’ll have much more to say about this as the day unfolds. This week I’ve been on call which doesn’t give me a lot of time to listen to politics or read about politics. ...

Glenn Greenwald of Salon.com wrote (He is 100% correct): With last night’s cheerfully vicious speeches from Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin, the Republicans did what they always do in order to win elections: they exploited raw cultural divides while mocking, belittling and demonizing Democratic leaders. Yet again, they delivered brutally effective and deeply personal blows to the Democratic presidential candidate grounded in the same manipulative and deceitful yet very potent themes they’ve been using for the last three decades. Ever since Ronald Reagan’s election, this is what the Republicans do every four years. They render issues irrelevant and convert campaigns ...

Tomorrow, I will chat with Dwight Mullen, UNCA professor of political science, on the Errington Thompson Show (streamed at www.880therevolution.com Saturday morning at 9 am EST). We will talk about the Democratic and Republican conventions. Joe Biden is correct. The Republicans didn’t talk about issues. They talked about America and how much more they love America. They talked about fighting as an outsider in spite of the fact that they controlled Congress for most of the last 8 years. They still control the White House and they are trying to convince us that they are the outsiders. Next ...

I woke up this morning with a total brains-craving (i.e. zombie-like) and layed in bed for two hours and so ended up SUPER late to work and in a bad mood, but it was cured and you get to find out how!Steps for an Instant Good Day

1. A creepy but not wholly unattractive upper-middle-aged man ogles you on the subway and whispers "Hoooooot" as you pass by in your new sunglasses. That's "hot", not "hoot". If he whispered "hoot", it would have been approx. 10% more uplifting. (n.b. I did notice that this man had a zit, though, so he may

One of our readers, a current student at Bryn Mawr, asked me to post the following bulletin about a former classmate and friend, who has gone missing in NYC: I am writing to you with a personal, heartfelt plea to use your media power to help find a missing person - someone who is, perhaps, one of your most loyal readers and my dear friend. Hannah Upp (see flyer with her picture here) is a 23 year-old Spanish teacher in New York City Public Schools and she has been missing since Friday, August 29th. She vanished from her Hamilton Terrace ...
