Why someone like Hunter S. Thompson gives into his demons now after fending them off for decades is a mystery. What we do know is his last moment was very cruel to his wife.

Terri Schiavo’s Long March continues with a judge ruling her feeding tube can be removed 03.18. That gives Terri’s family three weeks to put together one last legal defense.
I haven’t posted anything until now on this permutation of the story. With the Florida legislature not being able to stop Terri’s husband from starving her […]
After listening to the BBA’s favorite Journal Sentinel reporter Greg Borowski (go buy his book) on Charlie Sykes’ show this morning we’re at an impasse in the voter fraud story. the fed-city joint investigation is preventing reporters and weblogger from looking at voting records. Also the Elections Commission ran the election so badly it will […]
James Joyner and some weblog called The Bones of Contention link to a weblog so foul I won’t even give you its name. The premise seems to be to toss as many f-bombs as possible while ripping on public figures.
To use Kevin’s term WTF.

Apple buying TiVo? I wouldn’t complain. I love, I mean LOVE, my TiVo. I love, I mean LOVE, my iPod. I don’t want to go all Mac computing-wise–I would love to play with one of these little puppies–but I’ll back anything that keeps my revolutionary tv device running.

I’m listening to the TABOR debate on Charlie Sykes’ “Insight 2005.” This is great, informative talk on what TABOR is, why it’s needed, and how we got in
State Assembly Speaker John Gard is a passionate, very smart speaker. I’m glad he’s fighting for TABOR and not distracted by running for governor. By comparing Wisconsin’s tax […]
Charlie Sykes has a great line up for his “Insight 2005” show this morning. I do see something missing: where are the webloggers? One member of the BBA–I’d nominate Owen–could have yapped with Rep. Jeff Stone and Greg Borowski about voter fraud. Still, this is must listen radio.

Randy Moss is off to Oakland. Good. Get that trash out of the NFC Central. It’s good even though it looks like the Vikings are improving their defense which is bad for my Packers. I don’t care. I don’t need to be insulted by him anymore.

Ugh! How can I call myself an economist (amatuer that is) when I still can grasp this stuff about Social Security transition costs. Want to embarass me more ask me about foreign exchange rates.

Awesome post by Owen showing the “evil” state Republicans aren’t really gutting public education like Gov. Doyle is claiming.

When living in the Twin Cities (I called it “The Cities” like any Minnesotan) I found James Lileks on KSTP. I don’t remember if he was only on Saturday nights or if he also did weeknights. That’s not important. What is important is I knew quickly I was listening to the funniest man I ever […]

The voter ID bill is almost one-third of the way to becoming law. The State Assembly will vote on the bill Thursday after Democrats got the vote delayed. The bill will then go to a State Senate committee which will hold public hearings across the state. The toughest part is trying to convince Gov. Doyle […]
Abigail’s Magic Garden appears to be just a brand-new Lefty weblog. However, this has Libertarian Girl written all over it. Most obviously, “Abigail’s” picture looks a little too professional. It screams “Russian mail-order bride.” Second, she lists her interests as “politics, working out, museums, helping the less fortunate.” Not one mention of pop culture. No […]
Milwaukee might have an official soda. You could say it already does: barley pop. The city council is considering taking offers from soda companies. San Diego got $6.6 million from Pepsi. This could be a good idea for taxpayers. The new soda money could replace taxdollars, but that would require the government to not spend […]
