The Day After
Andrew Sullivan via The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sul on Thu, 06 Nov. 2008
Wilkinson cautions against romance in politics:The government of the state is profoundly important. And I think American voters picked a competent, decent, and sober executive officer. But this is not, headline writers, Barack Obama’s America. He is not your leader, any more than the mayor

Dissent Of The Day
Andrew Sullivan via The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sul on Wed, 05 Nov. 2008
A reader writes:
I am no fan of Palin, and have enjoyed ridiculing her as much as the next guy, but I don't think that her husband's race should be so easily and casually thrown aside. I was shocked to hear the word "Eskimo" even uttered on the nightly news, let alone reprinte

The Ghosts Of Elections Past
Andrew Sullivan via The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sul on Tue, 04 Nov. 2008
Ross takes the words out of my mouth: Even though I don't really see any way that McCain can win this thing, I've been conditioned - by the stalemate in 2000, by the exit-polling disaster in '04, even by New Hampshire flipping for Hillary this year - to assume that some sort o

The View From Your Election: San Diego
Andrew Sullivan via The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sul on Tue, 04 Nov. 2008
A reader writes:It took just thirty minutes from my place in line until I thanked the
polling staff and left. People in line were quietly smiling at each other. Most were young. An
even mix of black and white. A young father with an infant let a blind
lady cut in front of him in line. A man with a "No on 8" shirt was
zipping up his sweatshirt to cover it up as he to

BBC's Magic TV Detector Vans Kept Secret
Michael Masnick via Techdirt on Sat, 01 Nov. 2008
As many of you probably know (especially if you live in the UK), you have to buy a license to have a TV (or even a TV tuner card for a computer). The license fees go to pay the BBC to operate. Apparently, the BBC has some secret "TV detector" vans that can sit outside your house and determine if you have an illegal TV (I only wish I were making this up). Someone filed a Freedom of Information r

energy crisis: or, pay as you grow
delzey via fomagrams on Thu, 09 Oct. 2008
First, this isn’t about the current economic meltdown. Unless you consider a patty melt gone bad a crisis.
No, it occured to me that we have this problem where it seems like good, wholesome food is more expensive than crap. And as I was looking at a band of chunky high school kids rolling out of the CVA with large bags of chips, sodas and cookies I actually stopped and won
