The Return of Rudy

First he's keynoting the GOP Convention, and now this...I'm not sure why McCain's campaign is interested in keeping this guy around, as I was under the impression that he had been exposed as a buffoon during his campaign--between the constant 9/11 invocations; the constant stories about screwing around; and his cartoonish hyperventilating over terrorism I would have figured that Republicans would have wanted to keep him at arms length.

I just had a funny thought about those rumors of McCain picking a pro-choice veep...I bet you can guess what it is.

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.
