You've got to be sh*tting me...

So all that ticking time bomb talk is bunk...as it turns out, the Bushies tortured people to prove their theory about Iraq-bin Laden connections. This isn't even about national security anymore, it's about people who thought they can do whatever they wanted. Send them to jail.

The Man, The Myth, The Bio

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.
