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. […]
Below the Barometric Pressure (Live Blonging the Vice Presidential Debate)
I’m feeling pretty under the weather. Plus, I’m swamped with real work. Plus, my mother in law is in the next room. I wanted to live song blog the entire vice presidential debate but I didn’t feel much up to it. So, I freestyled (made up) one verse as I recorded, with the security portion […]

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 […]
Great Expectations
I’m eating a sweet potato with brown sugar and cinnamon while trying to live blog the DNC. I don’t know which is stickier sweet. I started my legal practice in Charlotte, NC, where the convention is being held. Cool city. Well designed. Glamourless, though. Except for the Bobcats, of course. Those guys are all hollywood. […]
Well Done
So I haven’t eaten meat (or any animal product other than trace amounts) in 46 days. You may or may not remember why. Actually, I don’t really remember myself. I’ve lost, in weight, the memory portion of my brain. It’s like the vegetarian Notebook. I wake every morning to another bowl of quinoa not remembering […]
Principled Non-Principle
Congressman Todd Akin, a candidate for one of the two US Senatorial seats in Missouri, implied fairly directly this week that the female body physiologically rejects any zygote conceived in a forcible rape situation such that the question of whether or not an abortion should be legal for instances of rape is effectively rendered moot. […]
R&R
On the road. Early hours of the morning, recording from a top secret undisclosed vocal booth. About to pass out. Left my windscreen at home, of course. Had to use a Kleenex on my mic to try and kill some of the consonants. Super budget tonight. But, I had to get something in on Romney’s […]
Casinos and Daycares
So I have a friend who has a friend who does sweepstakes as a hobby. I know. Sounds like doing bath salts as a dessert. Or doing your nails as massage. Wait. People actually do that. Anyway, he raked. Like a serious family vacay every year. Hawaii not Dollywood. Sorry, Mom and Dad (they’re D-Wood […]
