My September 11th
I submitted this to the LA Times. If they don’t put it up on their site, I’m crying anti-Semitism.
I was living in Greenpoint in Brooklyn on September 11, 2001. At the time, I worked a soul-crushing phone sales job on Broadway just south of Houston. I almost didn’t go to work that day because I wasn’t feeling well, but I was paid hourly plus commission, so a sick day...

(a) Muslim (nothing wrong with being a Muslim, of course, but he’s a Christian)
(b) terrorist (Lupe Fiasco, I smirk in your general direction)
(c) community organizer who wants God to damn the country (direct quote from my cousin’s wife, one of the most shockingly ignorant people I’ve ever met,...

Best part: “Ailes is also deeply paranoid. Convinced that he has personally been targeted by Al Qaeda for assassination, he surrounds himself with an aggressive security detail and is licensed to carry a concealed handgun.”

We might ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush’s compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic. Uncontroversially, his crimes vastly exceed bin Laden’s, and he is not a “suspect” but uncontroversially the “decider” who gave the…

We were hesitant to post the first one, felt like it might have been at a car show or photo shoot or something. At they very least, it didn’t feel so random. But then we got a second DeLorean pic, on the road no less, so they both made the cut. Also enjoying the flat tire in the first pic….

As I wrote last night, I’m not at all sad about the death of Osama Bin Laden. He committed terrible acts and he caused or encouraged others to commit terrible acts. I have no sympathy for him or for those who supported him. That said, I’m also not jubilant in the way that, for example, Mike…

Unfollowing as a result of this nonsense post. HE DIDN’T HAVE THE DOCUMENT THAT WAS RELEASED YESTERDAY IN 2008! He had to pay for his lawyers to make special requests to get that document because the Certificate of Live Birth Obama produced in 2008 is what the Hawaiian government gives people born in Hawaii upon request of proof of birth there. It wasn’t like this document was...

WatchAdmittedly the whole Daily Show exposing Fox News for the disingenuous right wing propaganda machine that it is routine gets old at times, but this clip is particularly good. I don’t think that there is anything “wrong” with being a Republican, but to argue that what Fox News engages in is journalism is to check one’s credibility at the door.
