Great word: “bibliophibians”. Swap the genders of the two people in the Wondermark strip below, and you’ll capture the essence of many conversations that Sandra and I have had over the years (click on the strip to go to the full-sized original): The difference being, of course, that Sandra and I started out together with […]
…or at least cluelessness, the Obama campaign released (on TV) today an ad that, among other things, mocks McCain for not using e-mail or knowing how to use a computer, presumably because he’s so old (another theme of the ad). Here’s the ad itself (if it’s still up on YouTube): Personally, I think it’s a […]
The mainstream media gave little or no coverage to the various attempts to disrupt the RNC in St. Paul, but the investigators at Stratfor make it clear just how serious these attempts were: On Sept. 5, two men from Austin, Texas, were charged in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis in connection with a plot to […]
