Religulous Sarah Palin

By hugh | Published: September 30, 2008
I’m listening to Terry Gross interview Bill Maher and Larry Charles (director of Borat) about the movie Religulous. While I haven’t seen it yet, I think I’ve heard enough to talk about it. Maher picks off low-lying fruit by singling out fundamentalist elements of religion but it needs to be done as it is the [...]

Eggheads in Washington

By hugh | Published: September 28, 2008
I am not at peace with the bailout. The public commons are being plundered by elitists who don’t really work for a living. The least we can ask for is that it’s longer than three pages.

Joe Backwards Spells 901

By hugh | Published: September 27, 2008
I wish it meant something but it doesn’t. Like 901 is the security code for the universe. Not true at all. It’s just a good coffee place with a long line. Other than that I owe my bro Joe a call.

Firehose Check

By hugh | Published: September 24, 2008
I know it’s not my job but I thought I’d check on the firehoses in my work building. In case there’s a fire, you want to be able to put that shit out without a lot of bipartisan posturing. Firehose 1 – slightly experimented with. Broken alarm box. Firehose 2 – overzealous cinch knotting. otherwise [...]

Fences Make Us Fencey

By hugh | Published: September 18, 2008
I apologize for my insonmniac ass telling you to check into TPM regularly. This McWorse McRain in Spain shit is out of hand. I really feel like we’re looking at the stupid fall of an empire. In slow motion.

Playing the Markets with Fraction Man

By hugh | Published: September 17, 2008
Fraction Man Aims for the Fences Like Duncan, I’m not an economist or a financial analyst but it is useful for people like us to think about these things in metaphors and he made a ton of sense today: The entire financial system is practically collapsing and they’re [CNBC business pundits] lamenting the possibility of [...]

A Supposedly Good Book I’ll Finish Someday

By hugh | Published: September 17, 2008
Walk this way I’m pretty sad David Foster Wallace is dead. I first became aware of his writing when “Shipping Out” was published in Harper’s in the mid 90s (later the lead essay in “A Supposedly Fun Thing…”). Besides giving me reason to never go on a cruise ship, he helped me be comfortable with [...]

The Bearable Lightness of Wingnuttery

By hugh | Published: September 15, 2008
While I convince a friend that the stock market isn’t collapsing, I still take comfort in Mr. Poor and Stupid getting his clock cleaned. Update: For the Wall Street dissemblers, this article explains “Pollyanna Creep” in the economic numbers.

Too easy to laugh. Good thing I only play rock-paper-scissors with ghosts. People are doing really cool things with Flash. Oh and uh, moo, ok.
