A Question of Appreciation
Posted on February 20, 2008 - Filed Under Life-In-General | 5 Comments
If you help someone out but do it badly (e.g., agree to their request for a lift into college, but show up a slight bit late), are they entitled to feel resentful, especially if you have a well-known difficulty with being on time for things? And if not, are you entitled to feel resentful if [...]

I didn’t see all of this the first time I watched it (the disk was scratched), but I remember it was pretty damn hilarious. I really want to see the end of it now…

Intention

I’m going to try not to post anything about US politics for a week, starting from now. So barring extraordinary events, you’ll have to look elsewhere for campaign coverage. I recommend Andrew Sullivan’s blog, and pretty much all the other Atlantic blogs as well. The Economist’s ‘Democracy in America’ blog is worth a read too [...]
The Economist on Obama

The Economist casts a critical (but not unduly harsh) eye over the possibility of a Barack Obama presidency here.

Since yesterday, practicing this has been the overriding goal of my life.
Come on cynics, what say you of my latest plan?

It seems to be tanking faster than the Clinton campaign.

If your sign says you’re open until 7:30 then stay open until 7:30. Or else change your damn sign to 7:22…
A Flip-Flop on Mitt Romney

On the basis of these highly selective out-of-context clips he really does appear to be a complete douche bag.
This video is funny too, especially the last line.

Maybe it’s just because it’s late, but the headline of this Economist blog post brought a smile to my face.
And of course there was also this picture:
And a reader left a rather funny comment after the post where this picture of idiotic GOP bumper-stickers appeared:

McCain and the GOP Base
Posted on February 10, 2008 - Filed Under American Politics | 1 Comment
The reaction to John McCain at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Feel the love.
On Super Tuesday someone on Fox News spoke of ‘McCain Derangement Syndrome’ afflicting vast swathes of the US conservative movement. It sounds like a pretty apt term for whatever their problem is. McCain, as much as I like him, is as conservative [...]
Huck on The Report

Okay, I give up; after at least five appearances on The Colbert Report, I can no longer not like Mike Huckabee. What other presidential candidate would go on TV and claim that Texas will vote for him because he “understand[s] barbecue”? The prospect of a McCain-Huckabee ticket grows more appealing every day…
