Your Argument Is 100% Correct And 100% Irrelevant
Posted on April 17, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under DC enfranchisement, blogosphere | Leave a Comment
Personal annoyance griping time: it really angers me when prominent pundits- especially those who actually do live in DC- mischaracterize DC to their audiences. Here’s Matthew Yglesias, frequent commenter on how Washington could be a better urban community (and usually right when it comes to those issues) laying out the case for why the District [...]
A Random Thought Regarding Andrew Sullivan
Posted on March 24, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under Andrew Sullivan, Ron Paul, blogosphere, libertarians | Leave a Comment
Andrew Sullivan’s blog has been around longer than pretty much every other blog (well, political blog, at least) on the intertubes. You could easily argue that “force of habit” must be one of the reasons I read him every day without fail. However, I’d like to think that the real reason I read him every [...]

Holy crap, who knew Kos was a gazillionaire? I mean, I knew he wrote a book and whatnot, but whipping out the credit card (or not) to [...]

(Part fifteen in an ongoing series)
Some sort of dispute over which state bloggers get Super Awesome Blogger Credentials for the Democratic convention and which ones got regular average blogger credentials.
I guess it sounds like the DNC screwed up, and I guess it sounds like the people who keep writing about it have reasons to care. [...]
James Kirchick Creates His Own Reality
Posted on May 8, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under James Kirchick, blogosphere, liberals | Leave a Comment
The liberal blogosphere certainly doesn’t need me to join in and help it defend itself from the likes of James Kirchick, but I just hate to see a blatant and obvious lie. No, I’m not talking about the real meat of the article, I’m talking about the somewhat tangential lede which was so obnoxiously false [...]
