Madame Speaker

I'm a Nancy boy. Well, at least in the sense that I'm a big fan of Nancy Pelosi, a woman whose power and influence are at a zenith in America right now. This profile gives some of the reasons why. She's been quite effective at getting things done, even if all that has gone on to die in the Senate or by Bush's veto pen.

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.
