Biden? Yeah, That Works.

Works for me too. What's more important than Biden's foreign policy expertise is that he has media credibility as a foreign policy expert. Except, unlike McCain, Biden really is an expert on this stuff. I like the outsider/insider combination, I like the authenticity, and I've long thought this made the most sense out of all the running mate possibilities, despite the rampant speculation on people like Tim Kaine. So I'm liking this idea. I guess we'll find out in a few days.

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.
