Heh. A friend had the ticket hook-up and I ended up being in attendance for the ceremony where Obama honored Real Salt Lake for winning the MLS Cup. (Which of course begs the question: What's the cutoff for a title team not getting invited to the White House?) The whole thing lasted maybe six minutes and then they threw my ass out of the place.

Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride
Last week I attended an event at the White House. (Because that's how I roll.) When I called my dad to tell him about the ceremony and the experience, his first question was whether I had to produce my birth certificate before getting in. Why? Because Glenn Beck told him that even though Obama c...
Thanks! I read this yesterday morning and couldn't keep from writing something. Guess I'll try and get back in the habit.

Substance-lite reporter files substance-free article hitting Obama for talking about substance: Even by President Obama's loquacious standards, an answer he gave here on health care Friday was a doozy. Toward the end of a question-and-answer session with workers at an advanced battery technolo...

Okay. But would you also agree not passing a bill would cripple the Obama administration, drag down his approval ratings even further and push back health care reform for another 15 years?

If I didn't know better, I'd assume Howard Dean's cartoonish rhetoric is a fairly transparent attempt to provide cover for moderate Democrats just before the big compromise and subsequent vote. Unengaged headline readers will simply figure the bill must not be too liberal if the dude who lost it...
Fair point. But before Nike there was Earl. I think it's fair to point out Tiger hasn't come close to the loft rhetoric used in an article when Sports Illustrated named Woods Sportsman of the Year.

If there's one thing that annoys me more than the endless chattering over Joe Lieberman playing the role of cock-teasing ingenue, it's the prospect of Tiger Woods a) saying he found redemption in Jesus or b) admitting he's a sex addict with a weakness for banging random women he met at the Int...

While managing to piss everyone off with his Afghanistan move, Obama made everyone happy with his Nobel speech. Weird. Here's what peeps are saying: Clive Crook: He did not glide around the awkwardness of the occasion. He acknowledged it and dealt with it. He was straightforward and unem...
It continually impresses me that they're always let down by someone.

Waaay too many times to count. I actually saw Mandy Patinken in a book store a little while back but couldn't pull the trigger on a "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

This is no way to run an empire: There's been some concern in Congressional Democratic circles recently about the cost of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, especially since President Obama announced plans to send more troops to the former. That concern has led to talk of a new tax to help pay fo...
I thought one of the lessons out of all of this is that the girls aren't nearly as attractive as is wife.

I know I'm not supposed to "care" about Tiger Woods and his off-green exploits and from a Holy-roller perspective I don't. But even when considering the low-regard most people hold for the faithfulness of professional athletes it looks like Tiger is setting a new standard for loutishness. Talk a...
Fair point. The moment he pushed that field goal you knew it was over.

Nope, never a Drew fan. Glee is one of those shows my girlfriend makes sure to watch and I've been sucked in. Older or younger than 30?

Its been a long week and not only because I turned 30. Yeah, that's right. I'm officially an adult. (At least that's how I view it; 13 seems ridiculous and what I was doing at 18 certainly doesn't seem to qualify as mature.) Anyway, before ordering some food and falling asleep before 11 pm while...

The stupidest and most contemptible Politico story ever -- which is going some! Republican senators feel burned by Al Franken — and not by his old jokes. The Republicans are steamed at Franken because partisans on the left are using a measure he sponsored to paint them as rapist sympathizers...

When it comes to Afghanistan I've found myself drifting between hawkish and dovish leanings depending on the time of day and what column I read most recently. Yesterday morning I was dead set against sending more troops into a region where less than a quarter of the population is literate. This ...
No and yes. Are you thinking we should help rebuild?

At this point I doubt Huckabee runs. Which means about 10 percent of the GOP base is looking for a Believer to lead them.

Out of hand, I dismissed Sarah Palin's claim that Newsweek's cover shot is sexist because she posed for the picture and has made a rather obvious habit of deflecting substantive criticism with calls of chauvinism. To my bewilderment, Media Matters is actually playing defense for Palin: Like he...

Arrogant Negro Barrack Obama went and gave a speech on a military base, just like he was the president of the United States or something. Horrors! Lots of people right and left praising Obama on his speech at Fort Hood today. I'm not. Not because it wasn't a good speech, but because the one who ...

Republicans have been trying to make quite a bit out of the length of the House's reform bill; I heard one member yesterday break down the cost on a per page basis. Others have mentioned the word count and weight. They assume, perhaps correctly, that it's an easy way to demonstrate the "size" of ...

John Cole would like to know why the Beltway elite are ignoring the CBO scoring of the GOP reform bill: I seriously do not get this country. The subservience to the Republicans by the media at least made sense when they were in the majority and held the Presidency in 2001. But this is 2009, the R...

No, Harry. Try again. Once more, with feeling: Reid, who lambasted the GOP-led Congress for being a rubber stamp for President Bush, indicated that he will not bow to the Obama administration. Reid stated, "I don't believe in the executive power trumping everything... I believe in our Constitut...
