A reader on the Dish writes: I thought I’d write to you with our own experiences taking part in the Occupy LA protests. I’m in my early 40s, at a well-paying job as a web developer for a large hospital in Los Angeles. My wife and I have no children. We’re very fortunate – we [...]

It’s not easy being a blogger. Witness the Blogger Life cycle: 1) Euphoric moment of inspiration 2) Pseudo-maniacal and self-indulgent perusing of domains 3) Careful consideration of theme and design 4) The inaugural post – “Hello world!” 5) The 2-4 post honeymoon phase 6) Waning and changing interests 7) Feelings of desperation and apathy from [...]
Not only is it the price of a pizza, it’s the price of a pizza at Godfather’s Pizza. Yes, Godfather’s Pizza– where the current Republican presidential nominee Herman Cain was the CEO. Jon Huntsman was clearly prescient in his pronouncement. Herman Cain may not be the next president, but he damn sure knows how to [...]

I don’t know if Fox has ever reported on anything accurately. Their journalism reflects their propensity to give their viewers what they crave rather than report the news. That’s not a news organization, that’s a reality show.

Chris Wallace had the right theme in questioning Michele Bachmann on Fox News Sunday. While the wisdom of his line of questioning was sound, his approach leaned heavily to the land of soft toss–not unexpected by a Fox host toward a conservative guest. The flake comment gets a lot of the attention because of its [...]

Two observations about the first GOP Presidential Debate: Mitt Romney clearly separated himself from the pack of milquetoast contenders vying for the crown. Romney showed deftness, quiet strength, and a mature yet effective argumentative style. The most stark contrast came between he and Herman Cain, token flamethrower in the race. Cain while charming, cannot [...]

Aside from his bumbling and puerile handling of this situation, Anthony Weiner should not only not resign– he should remain as forceful and adamant about the causes he fights for as ever–provided there are no ethical impropriaties from his activities of course.

I’m of the mind that the crisis in the middle east is best left to those directly involved– simply because it’s too much of a conflation of fear, dishonesty, anger, stubbornness, and bitterness. It’s strangling debate and beating down some Israeli citizens: As an Israeli citizen, I want to thank you for this post. You [...]

Even if you’re in a Benz, you’re still a nigger in a coupe–Kanye West I realize this is a few weeks old, but it was just too revealing not to share. Thanks to Baratunde Thurston (Jack Turner) of Jack & Jill Politics–one of my favorite blogs. Turner writes: It was during my viewing of this [...]
