Big night in reality tv.
1. First, it was the final episode of Kid Nation. I haven’t seen much of the show, but the last few weeks have been fun. Where the hell did they find such precocious kids? The producers must have raided Montessori schools across the country. It seems to me that (alert: it’s [...]

Dodd Who?

So my semester at school is winding down and I can finally breathe a little easier. Only a little though – one of my classes is year-long and seems to only now be getting going. But I’ve made an executive decision to not think about it over the holidays, which should make for some fun times in January.
Speaking of [...]

I was just on Craigslist and I found this post. Helpful city-dweller or anxiously displaced suburbanite? You be the judge:
$1000 Inwood is NOT the Upper West Side!! Bushwick is NOT East Williamsburg (Chelsea)

Hey peoples. Sorry for the no blogging in days. Tlantz and I must have been otherwise engaged, tlantz with school and work, and me with … miscellaneous.
In election news (my favorite hobby), Oprah put on her best preacher voice and stumped for Obama in South Carolina; Hillary’s holding strong nationwide at 53% of democratic voters [...]

1. TGIF! Except Friday loses some of its appeal when you don’t have a job. But I ain’t gonna let that stop me from getting drunk tonight! Part-y! Pizza Part-y!
2. Today’s the 66th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. My friend Emily and I had the following convo on the gmail chat earlier:
Emily: [...]
More on Obamarama

So I’ve been meaning to post about the Barack Obama comeback for the last week and now Sweeney has stolen my thunder. I guess that’s my punishment for being an abesentee blogger.

Mornin Y’all

1. Ahhh—I love the smell of fresh civil liberties disputes in the morning. It’s been in the Philly news lately, but now the NY Times is reporting that Philadelphia City Council is evicting the Boy Scouts from their grandiose building on the Ben Franklin Parkway because the Scouts discriminate against the gays. Even though Boy [...]

Late Friday Night

1. Everybody and they mama got Obamarama these days. After building Hillary up for months now, all the big magazines have turned to Obama. The big O was live at the Apollo last night, with academia’s favorite bescarfed public intellectual Cornel West on hand. Chris Rock told the audience that if they supported Hillary and [...]
