The state of compassionate conservatism today

Via Benen: "The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama Bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States." That would be a quote from a guest on Glenn Beck's show. Just imagine if a liberal had said something similar during the Bush years with respect to Iraq. Where, oh where, is the vaunted liberal media on this?

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.
