My predictions for tomorrow:
  • Clinton wins Nevada (I know, it pains me a little, and I half-hope it won't happen, but it's in my gut) for the Democrats and neighbor McCain wins it for the Republicans.
  • Huckabee wins South Carolina. Just a hunch, and it could go in any number of different ways, but this seems likely to me (and pretty darned entertaining, from where I sit). If he manages to win here and in Florida (something more likely--but still not likely--if he wins here), it will throw the entire GOP race into complete disarray. Well, compartively speaking...

The Man, The Myth, The Bio

East Bay, California, United States
Problem: I have lots of opinions on politics and culture that I need to vent. If I do not do this I will wind up muttering to myself, and that's only like one or two steps away from being a hobo. Solution: I write two blogs. A political blog that has some evident sympathies (pro-Obama, mostly liberal though I dissent on some issues, like guns and trade) and a culture blog that does, well, cultural essays in a more long-form manner. My particular thing is taking overrated things (movies, mostly, but other things too) down a peg and putting underrated things up a peg. I'm sort of the court of last resort, and I tend to focus on more obscure cultural phenomena.
