After this past weekend, the major newspapers from the cities I’ve lived in have made their presidential endorsements. With the exception of the Boston Herald, which I never really read when I was out there, they have all endorsed Obama. Below are some notable bits unique to the specific endorsements. Chicago Tribune: Many Americans say […]
So Saturday I did my second bit of volunteering for Obama, the first being phone bank work during the primary. Along with about 40 or so other Chicagoans, I drove out to Hamond, IN to knock on doors. I’ve never really been that interested in the sort of face-to-face interactions with people, especially not talking […]
So I think this afternoon I am going to quickly spit out a handful of posts on things I’ve been thinking about. This first one is regarding Jury Duty. For the second time in my ENTIRE life, I was called for jury duty this past Friday. Like last time I was called, in Boston, Iwas […]
I’ve been thinking this morning about, shockingly enough, the election. I’ve got some sketches of an idea that I wanted to write down, thinking maybe I could flesh them out as I wrote, but most likely they won’t get sketched out and simply won’t make any sense. People have talked about how its odd that […]
Could tonight be the night Obama announces his choice for VP? I can’t imagine someone more awesome. Well… no, I can’t. That said, I can’t imagine Gore taking it, but if he was humble enough, I think the country would be better off. He’s got clout, people know him, he’s got experience, he’s a white […]
Some things that I think are awesome tonight: So Long and Thanks For All the Shoes, by NOFX. This albums really is great. I kinda wish it were their last. I recently looked for reviews of it when it first came out more than a decade ago, and most people didn’t like it. I loved […]
So yesterday I had a conversation with my sister about some of the problems with the Bush Administration, and she felt that the two biggest problems were Bush’s inexperience and his inability to question his decisions/learn from his mistakes. I shouldn’t put words into her blog, so to speak, so maybe she’ll speak up about […]
Does anyone remember a few years ago, Sprite was using the slogan “Image is nothing, thirst is everything.” I do. The funny thing is, I think they also unveiled their new logo. So that was funny. I was thinking about image and the political campaigns. A few days ago, I posted the list of O’Jokes, […]
So there’s been a lot of talk about Jim Web joining with Obama as his VP. As they always are, Webb is being coy about whether he’s interested and dodges the question as best he can, and that’s fine. But as I think about who Obama is and what gaps he may have, it really […]
Can we finally say who the Democratic nominee for President will be? YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN! …Yes. We can. (Ever notice that Clinton supporters chant “Yes She Will!” at their rallies? Not only will she not, but that’s creepy.) So nearly a tie in Indiana and a pretty good sized win in North […]
