Great pix up at the Chicago Tribune. The Sox asked their fans to wear black.
I’m sure everyone there who’s not a Twins fan and isn’t wearing black feels like a real asshole. I didn’t get the memo!
I love rivalries.
It also doesn’t hurt when the other guys wear black and their mascot is Lord Voldemort. Still, [...]

John Cole has learned that the RNC cut anti-bailout ads before the bill failed. They were never on board and all this smoke and mirrorism was about painting a big bullseye on the Democrats, the chumps who bailed out the Republicans’ economic debacle and got bitten on the ass for their trouble. Or as Atrios [...]

The market is up 240 points in the opening hours of trading. Can we please stop pretending that these assholes know what they’re doing? The world economic order is supposedly on the verge of collapse and American traders are speculating like gamblers at a craps table.
Watching Wall Street in tough times is like watching too [...]

Who sounds more presidential?
Blaming Obama…I wonder how that’s working out for McCain? Still, that’s fairly mild compared to calling the skinny kid the “antichrist.”
Again, late afternoon on a Saturday and I had to stand in line just to get into my local Obama HQ. Nothing special going on, just random people wanting buttons or yard [...]

Yumpin’ Yeesus but it’s getting chilly all of a sudden. I just closed the window on account of cold for the first time since early March. Dashboard says it’s 54° outside which normally I’d consider ideal, but what with the damp we’ve had and the wicked breezes, . . . sigh. Who am I kidding? [...]

Paul Krugman prefers Obama to McCain on economic issues. That’ll keep me laying awake tonight. Bob fucking Ruben. I didn’t expect to see him disappear from the news entirely, but I had thought references to him would be in the context of a conspiracy trial involving fraud and Wall Street chicanery.
Krugman is liked by liberals [...]

Wokay, having run my errands, dumped hot coffee in my lap (thank you so much to the asshole in the junky mini-pickup up who cut me off in traffic), and having listened to yet another long, totally-misses-the-point bit of white racist cluelessness on MPR, I guess I’m ready to blog.
And then some.
I’d like to start [...]

If the Twins win this afternoon [1 pm, Channel 29], they’re in the playoffs. And, if they make the playoffs, Twins fans without cable or a dish won’t see them play again until the World Series, assuming they make it that far.
Sometimes it’s ESPN that fucks things up, this time it’s TBS’s $1.05 billion deal [...]

Like a sewer backing up, Katherine Kersten has returned, spewing floaters that drift amidst the sewage like Critical Mass riders through rush hour traffic.
At last week’s hearing called by St. Paul City Council Member Dave Thune, we heard what’s become the standard story line on police conduct during protests at the Republican National Convention. Critics [...]

Should the media be scrutinizing the record of Sarah Palin, who until a few weeks ago was the relatively unknown governor of Alaska? Yes. Does Palin’s general lack of political experience raise legitimate questions about her preparation to hold the position of vice president? Yes.
Is it also true that the media’s general view of Palin [...]
