Tech Misadventures

This is hilarious. Almost as good as that whole "Democrats seizing control of the Tennessee House" story. Basically, Virginia Republicans were trying to get a Democratic state senator to switch parties, and the state party chairman accidentally tweeted (that word makes me uncomfortable) that they were doing this in time for the Democrats to stop it. Republicans are being mocked pretty frequently these days for their technology obsession, and I don't think it will change attitudes about today's GOP, but maybe just figuring out the tech angle a little bit wouldn't be a bad thing in and of itself. Right, Jeff?

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.
