Here’s conservative commentator Dick Morris saying something ridiculous: I’ve got egg on my face. I predicted a Romney landslide and, instead, we ended up with an Obama squeaker. The key reason for my bum...
Tod Kelly rightfully points out that last night’s losers were ” the well-off Republicans that paid billions of dollars into Super PACs such as Rove’s American Crossroads. Billions of dollars collected, spent, and it...

So, it’s not as funny as the Hunger Games Bad Lip Reading, but it’s exactly the sort of thing I need this election season. Fight nonsense with nonsense. The singing part gets me every time…. In...
Let’s get meta. Oh how I love meta discussions about community, community standards, and discontent. Nothing like addressing the ills of an online community to get the blood boiling. We’ve had lots of squabbles,...
She says it better than I could. Though hers is a NSFW version. “No photo. No voto.” Then again, at this point Romney is doing a wonderful job losing this election all on his...
Murali is hosting. Noboru Akimoto, Tod Kelly, Rose Woodhouse, Burt Likko, Kyle Cupp and myself are panelists. We’re talking about public reason. Feel free to watch the live broadcast and send questions our way via Google Plus, the combox...
Because I have had nothing to say about politics lately, and because we have been accused of being too white and too male, I give you this. I do hope Romney gets a chance...
On Romanticism in Politics Romanticism is wonderful in a work of fiction, art or video game. As a died-in-the-wool modern day romantic, I’ve spent most of my life doing my best to use fantasy...
I do love A Bit of Fry & Laurie. This is quite a brilliant sketch, whatever you make of its politics. Maybe not quite as good as their free-market-police bit, but right up there.
Post thoughts here. Lots of small changes. Still more to come. Thanks to Will and Nob and Johanna for all their work, and to everyone who has offered up their advice so far.
I’ve been tinkering. If things are broken or look funny or disappear, that’s why. I’ve got comments back on old posts, and we’re working on making the logo more catchy, and then it’s off...
So I’ve obviously been tinkering a great deal, and I apologize if your sub-blog is weird right now. I’ll get to it! I promise! I’m not sure if this will be the redesign, or...
It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these. I’d like to do some site upgrades, maintenance, and something of a redesign/restructuring of the site, and that’s what this fund-raiser is all about....
Thanks for being patient as I tinker. The Feed for this site should be working again, but I’m still running tests. Feel free to make this your happy afternoon open thread.

If you’re able to, Alex Knapp is doing a live interview this morning with science fiction author John Scalzi on Google+. Details are here. The interview commences at 11AM EST.

Leaguefest Las Vegas was a blast. Other than my wife coming down with a stomach bug; the headache I got Friday night that came on like a pre-hangover hangover; and the flu (or bad...
So the time has finally come. A dozen or so Gentlemen and spouses will be converging upon the City of Sin in the next 24 hours or so. Some of the more intrepid among...
