An anonymous commenter in the post below had the following to say: With regard to judges and the filibuster--please note--what goes round comes round. Republicans better hope that they stay in the majority! Well, I certainly hope the GOP stays in the majority. However, I also believe that if the Republicans caved -- preserving the […]
I've had my digital video recorder saving the Senate debate on judicial nominees for posterity's sake, and I continue to be flabbergasted by one of the Democrats' weak claims to legitimacy. It's something that has been has been seen elsewhere -- like this op-ed piece in Wednesday's Union-Tribune -- but has now made it to […]
Nope, I wasn't among the marginally insane who stood in line for hours yesterday, skipped work and stayed up late to see the latest "Star Wars" flick. I'll see it before the weekend's out -- probably at the last showing Sunday night in an effort to avoid some of the crowds. Instead I stayed home […]

She also really knows how to eat birthday cake -- she gets that from her uncle. I spent much of today doing spring cleaning at Hoystory World Headquarters. I'm not sure whether […]
For the past couple of weeks I've taken to having a late lunch at Panera Bread with my laptop computer and taking advantage of their free wi-fi service. Having said that, I guess I shouldn't be too amused at the two guys sitting across from me having lunch together -- both talking on cell phones […]
The New York Times apparently doesn't like the fact that its mostly-liberal editorial page and columnists get criticized by the horde of bloggers on the Internet, so they've decided to start charging -- $50 a year to read Paul Krugman and Maureen Dowd -- beginning in September. I don't anticipate this being really successful. I […]
