Big Pimpin'

I agree with frere Kaus:

Either Chelsea is a political actor or she is not. If she can give speeches on her own and can call superdelegates, she is fair game, period.

I think that this whole dustup was a little silly. I'm not defending this Shuster fellow, but the Clinton campaign can't both put Chelsea out there to campaign and still try to protect her like they did in the 1990s.

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.
