By Jacob | Related entries in News

Speaking at Wednesday’s Fiscal Summit held by the Pete Peterson Foundation, Bill Clinton said: in the end we have to listen to people that disagree with us.

I’m sure there’s all kinds of intrigue happening behind the scenes here. Two [...]

Earth endures

By Jacob | Related entries in News

I’ve watched several videos of the tsunami in Japan. The following is the most demonstrative of the inevitability of the event. The ocean just comes. Most disconcerting is the pace.

The War of 1812: Stand on the point at Ft. McHenry and imagine watching British ships coming up the Bay. Imagine seeing them well before they are [...]

Sorry the open thread is late. I was down in Maryland for the weekend. We did a 40 mile ride on the eastern shore. It was nice weather, flat roads and lots of fun – save for the last 15 miles riding directly into a strong headwind off the bay. Hope everyone had a great [...]

Jackass Journalism

I can’t get too worked up about this latest episode of Jackass Journalism* – the art of pranking political opposition in the hope of getting politically stupid and embarrassing quotes on tape, with extra points for reinforcing your teams worst stereotypes of the other team.
