We State The Obvious, Because That's What We Do

This whole "blogging" thing has, perhaps, met its match in the form of Facebook updates. It's like a pithiness release valve, the status update; the pressure necessary to write a blog post just never materializes. And who suffers? Why, you, of course, the pithiness-starved, blog-reading public.

An Inconvenient Truth

Republicans, please. If you're going to insist on referring to Obama as "emperor," you might want to make mention of the fact that the most imperial thing about his potential presidency is the scope of executive power that Bush and Cheney are feverishly amassing for him.

It might not win you points with the dead-enders, but it will go a little ways toward making you sound less ridiculous. Assuming you're into that.

(I'll take my thanks in the form of all-caps blog comments.)
