End of Silence

I posted a few weeks back about a report saying that the Pakistanis were under enormous pressure to come up with a major Al Qaeda operative either during the Democratic National Convention or before the election (credit to Josh Marshall for originally pointing it out).
Lo and behold, today only a few hours before John Kerry [...]

I read about this somewhere earlier today, but I can’t remember where and I just got the e-mail from Alamo to confirm it.
There’s a screening of Fahrenheit 9/11 in Crawford tomorrow night with Michael Moore in attendance and he’s invited G.W. who’ll be in town. You can get all of the details here. If [...]

I’m somewhat of a beer geek and an especially rabid beer geek when it comes to very hoppy beers. Stone IPA and Ruination IPA, which, sadly, you can’t get here, are some of my all-time favorites. You can imagine my delight when I learned that an award-winning IPA from Dogfish Head is coming to [...]

In the wake of seeing Outfoxed earlier this week, it was interesting to find this post on the Tour De France today. Not surprisingly, Germany also seems to have a problem with biased networks who cut people off when they don’t agree with them. Even more ironically, and I’ve been thinking about this for a [...]

The Daily Show on Thursday had an amazing piece on talking points. Undernews has a transcript of the segment, but it really has to be seen to get the full impact. I’m hoping that Lisa Rein posts it or that it shows up on their own site at some point.
Between that report and seeing Outfoxed [...]

The Wife and I attended a viewing party for Outfoxed this evening at Jon’s. Thanks once again to him and his wife for hosting it, especially since they just got done moving in to their apartment this weekend. I’m sure he’ll have some pictures and notes on his site as well. We had to leave [...]

Much to The Wife’s dismay, Martha will likely face sentencing and head to prison tomorrow. The following bit of info from the CNN article is even more painful:
And, in a bittersweet coda to the saga that began more than two years ago, consider this: ImClone stock closed at $80.30 per share, up from the average [...]
