Anthony Weiner is back in the news both as a Mayoral candidate in New York City and for new allegations concerning lewd text messaging with someone other than his wife. I covered briefly his prior transgressions here. His mayoral candidacy is the second high profile political comeback of the year, after former Governor, Mark Sanford, […]

Breaking Red Dawn
So much I’d like to cover but I’m slammed. Preparing for a huge mediation. Bunch of travel. Oh and, of course, tonight’s Twilight premiere, Breaking Dawn Part 2. Team Edward, here. Israel and Gaza have been trading rockets. A real UFO over Denver. The, what I like to call, “Jill Kelley Experience.” Too many choices. […]
Color My Map
My wife couldn’t get over John King’s hands. (King, along with Wolf Blitzer, is one of CNN’s main electoral analysts on election night.) They were frozen in a sort of claw position no matter the gesture. I told her, “Uh. Everyone knows the molded action-figure-finger is the optimal hand positioning for manipulating the Magic Board.” […]
Nail Biter
This is my electoral prediction for tonight. I’m predicting a Romney upset in Ohio and Virginia but that President Obama holds onto Pennsylvania and Colorado, and the White House, barely. Ohio and Virginia (and PA) are places precisely where voter energy and turnout has been overestimated in Obama’s favor. I do not think that Obama […]
Done and Done
What a great American tradition. Love it. And, don’t think I wasn’t profiled and intimidated! Check back for more election coverage tonight. I hope to be bringing you all the breaking news from in front of an enormous digital 3-D American Flag and bald eagle. And yes I only have one outfit. But, what’s more […]
What it tis it taint and what taint it tis
There is a quantum principle that says you can’t know the velocity and the location of a subatomic particle at the same time. You can know one attribute or another but not both simultaneously. And they (as in smart theoretical physics dudes) swear it’s not a technological issue. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is an immutable […]
A Win Win: The Final 2012 Presidential Debate
Don’t miss it, America. If you’re too frustrated or cracking too many jokes or screaming at your TV too loudly, you’re going to miss the most important takeaway of these debates: Both of these men can run our country. They have different policies and different philosophies and different annoying mannerisms. The “Excuse me, I’m still […]
“YOU CAN’T WIN!”
This site doesn’t do endorsements. Well, except of hair product and mythical creatures. I roundly support both. L’Oréal and unicorns, specifically. So the following is only a prediction and not an aspiration: Obama will lose. I believed a Romney victory was an effective impossibility until the last debate. In fact, I predicted an Obama victory. […]

Pitch Perfect
Bill Clinton was a pretty special capstone to a drudgery of speeches at the DNC this evening. During his presidency, people we knew would say that Clinton reminded them of my dad. That they talked, even looked similar. You might as well have said my dad was a mangy street mongrel than to have compared […]
