    This just blew my mind a little bit. This isn’t about politics. I feel really badly for Cheney right now. I can’t imagine what he’s going through. If this doesn’t say guns are dangerous, well, I don’t know what does. The Vice President accidentally shot a friend in the face with a shot gun. It…

    There’s an article in today’s New York Times called “New Poll Finds Mixed Support For Wiretaps. Majority Accepts Them To Combat Terrorism.” Surrounded by “Si Ves Algo! Di Algo!” signage, I read the entire article on the train this morning. If you’re interested in reading, click here. Basically, depending on the way the questions were…

    Part One: Into the Subway. Yesterday, while riding the L Train a very nice older woman stopped me from reading Into the Wild and asked me if that was the book about the people who traveled to Alaska and died. Well, this does take place in Alaska but it’s the story about one boy who…

    I really, really wish I had more time to write about this. But I’m trying to catch up after having been on vacation. Our political atmosphere here in the US of A is getting more and more intriguing and more and more daytime soap by the minute. Abramoff has pleaded guilty to bribery and faces…

    A few weeks ago, I was flipping through the New York Times when I stumbled upon an amazing article. By now, everyone knows how I feel about my New York Times. Anyway, I think it was a weekend issue and therefore the articles seemed longer and the Arts section seemed more plump. I love a…

    Although I only heard snippets of yesterday’s Murtha speech the parts I did hear were unbelievably moving. Who could doubt a man with such a military track record? President Bush, in South Korea, continued on Friday to be questioned by reporters about the debate over Iraq. His press secretary issued an unusually blistering statement responding…

    I Don’t Belong Here. About a year ago, I was a member of an online message board. Normally, I don’t do the whole Internet discussion thing. But this time I knew most of the folks involved personally so I figured it’d be O.K. Usually, I try and stick to only posting here. I will do…

    A little over a month ago, I watched a bit on The Daily Show where Jon Stewart compared Lake George (the devastation seen in New Orleans) to Bill’s Monica Lewinsky. Not two seconds into the bit, my phone was ringing. I wrote about it. The following day, I tried to get an Anti-Bush T-Shirt through…

    I played a lot of soccer as a kid. I was actually pretty damn good at it, too. Sure, I couldn’t jump rope, dance, cheerlead (although I tried), do backbends, splits, or dress up very well. But I could play a mean game of soccer, softball, and basketball. Even though I usually played right wing…

    On Sunday, Toby Joe and I walked over the Brooklyn Bridge in order to check out the 9/11 WTC memorial in downtown Manhattan. I knew it was going to be an emotional day and figured I should try and make the best of it by throwing myself directly into it. It took us about an…
