So Brownie (Michael Brown formerly of FEMA, for those of you who have been smoking crack in a basement for the last year), was on The Colbert Report last night. While he wasn’t quite the embarrassment I was afraid he would be, he did make me think about the notion of blame, and the
I’ll always remember the following poem from a Bloom County comic strip I read as a kid.
How I love to watch the morn,
with golden sun that shines,
up above to nicely warm,
these frosty toes of mine.
The wind doth taste of bittersweet,
Like jasper wine and sugar.
I bet it’s blown through others’ feet,
like those of… Caspar Weinberger.

So the Chief of Staff steps down at the White House, and the blog world is atwitter. Everyone will make their pronouncements about the “shake up” and rumble about this being overdue, blah, blah, blah…

This is unrelated to politics, pop culture and technology, but it’s something I run into occasionally and it bugs the crap out of me. It’s called an overshare, and it’s happening way too frequently. There was a time when it was an exception, but it’s increasingly becoming the rule.

Roll Call carries an interesting piece by Stuart Rothenberg today. Normally I can’t stand Rothenberg’s writing. I’m not quite sure why, but he has always rubbed me the wrong way. Today, though, he hits a home run.
[T]he angle they were hoping I could comment on was what President Bush had to
If you’re tired of “being caricatured as an incompetent federal appointee”, why would you go on a TV program that caricatures everyone as being incompetent? Because “it’s just good satire.” That according to Michael Brown – former FEMA chief and America’s poster boy for the Peter Principle – who has lined
So the RNC’s new MyGOP tool is in beta. I took a sneak peak at it earlier today and set up my page at turk.gop.com. As I expected, they’re approving every page that gets created (you’ve gotta love that administrative overhead) and they are employing some filters to weed out bad words.

I’ve made the point before that Democrats, despite media coverage, will always have a harder time holding their team together than the GOP. You may see the occasional burst of media coverage about the GOP having a tough time staying cohesive. It always boils down to the same thing – the party has
