Why is it impossible to find a maple bar doughnut on the East Coast?

BACK

Aaaaaaand I’m out of the cave. What can I say? The pendulum swung back to the side where old Brainstorm was more a hassle than a whatever it is the rest of the time when it’s awesome. Then not writing begets not writing, and the snowball gathers mass. Jay Smooth says it best.
That’s not to [...]

PHILLIES

Beat the brewers!
  
Jimmy Rollins led off the game with a home run, Pat Burrell connected twice and Jayson Werth added a solo shot Sunday to lead the Phillies to a 6-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers that clinched their first trip to the NLCS since 1993.
After winning this best-of-five playoff series in four games, [...]

Letterman on Palin

Letterman’s not been able to contain himself lately. His debate recap is ridic. Watch the series of outtakes at the end. Honestly, SO FUNNY.

BIDEN

WINS!

No big surprise here. Biden delivered the debate performance of his life last night. To use Katie Couric’s suggested headline to describe Palin, “She Didn’t Embarass Herself.” Except she kind of did. She was miles above the standard set by her last few blundering appearances on tv, but a performance worthy of the office of [...]

DEBATE 1

As the press release we prepared at work yesterday in advance of the debate, was titled, “Obama Knocks it Out of the Park!” Another title could have been “How is this election close?”
For the first half hour I thought Jim Lehrer was the most impressive, demanding that both candidates talk to each other and own [...]

the economic crisis, in laymen’s terms

For those you, who like me, don’t really understand what the hell is going on with Wall Street and the impending economic doom, there is a really great piece in the London Review of Books that describes things in detail. It’s quite long, but good.

palin item of the day

Last night I thought that I was finally over Palin. I was even going to write about it today. But then I saw a news item on People.com  that I couldn’t resist. They are really beginning to scrape the bottom of the barrel for new insights into Palin’s ability to be VP. My favorite:
“She’s adaptable. [...]

PHILLIES

 
Wall Street ain’t the only thing crashing! The Phillies flew past the Mets tonight taking first place in the NL East! the Mets are stumbling. They’re burning. And the Phillies are sprinting full speed ahead with Ryan Howard exploding all over mid-September. I’m lovin it.

Friday AM

1) I’m not sick of Palin yet. I can’t get enough. My favorite Palin story of the day comes from the WSJ titled “Palin’s Style Sparks Buying Frenzy.” Not only are people rushing to buy her choice of shoes (which the company says btw are geared toward women in their early-20’s who like to go clubbing) [...]

Wednesday Night

1. I’m so over Sarah Palin. I’m over hearing about how she’s the magic bullet. I’m over mentioning her name and devoting space on this thing to her. I’m over McCain’s new ad that says Obama “airdropped a mini army” of rabid lawyers on Alaska to investigate poor Sarah. I’m over the state of Alaska [...]

Almost Over…

McCain’s about to come on and Alfonse D’Amato is talking to NY1 about how we need a strong leader to prevent Iran from attacking Israel, blah blah blah… I’m only half-listening, until he actually said “and that’s how you prevent a HOLOCAUST.”
Vote for McCain. He’ll prevent the Holocaust.
I should have stuck to my guns and [...]

Continuing Coverage of RNC Clusterfuck 2008

WOW. Crazy time at the crazy house. They’re all so damned mean and bitter. Giuliani’s huffing and sniggering like the devil incarnate but creepier.
Then SARAH PALIN – oh my god lady. Bitch much? I feel bad that her kids had to sit there and watch their mom be so vicious and spiteful. She WOULD NOT [...]

Favorite Topic #17: Rachel Maddow

The NYPost yesterday had a clip saying that MSNBC has assigned a “glam-squad” to remake new talkshow host Rachel Maddow in a more feminine mold.
Maddow already looks way more girly on the TV than she does on the YouTube or in real life. On MSNBC she’s got the smoky eyes and the senator suit markedly lacking [...]

Republicans’ Turn

The Republican Convention. What a downer.
It’s like an awkward wake at a cheap funeral parlor for a person nobody liked. I didn’t pay any attention last night so like most Americans tonight was my entre into the Republican “festivities.” It kicked off with Laura Bush appearing like a character out of “Mad Men” and vacantly [...]
