Sad but true

From Evil Bobby:

Was I the only one out there who cringed, when hearing that OJ was arrested recently? Not that I care anyone way or the other about his arrest, but that’s the point. I couldn’t care less about OJ. Yet I know from previous experience, that we will be subjected to nonstop OJ Simpson media coverage until months after the case has been settled. Everything from OJ’s choice of salad dressing, motivations for that shirt color, and daily up to the minute updates on his current relationships, will be garbled about as though it has anything to do with anything.

If I were one of those tinfoil hat types, I would wonder if OJ was secretly on Karl Rove's payroll to divert people from things like Situation FUBAR.

The system is designed to handle 1.5 inches." This isn't quite as appalling as last year's 9-day Queens blackout--you know, the one where Con Ed lied about the number of places without power--but it still in...

Some perspective, please

Yes, President Obama isn't perfect. Yes, he should just close Gitmo already. Yes, it would be great if he'd act on his campaign promise of more transparency in government. But c'mon, people, he's not another George W. Bush. A quick comparison of their administrations will show this. Criticize the guy, sure, but let's not pretend it's still 2005, hear?
