Eat Eggs, Don’t Throw Them

By hugh | Published: October 31, 2008

The Commerce Bank near me is now TD Bank. (What does that mean? To Do Bank?) Overnight they changed the entire color scheme from red, white, and blue to green and white. It looks less like Las Vegas at least. The diner near me used to called Happy Donuts. Things change. Ok, I’m at the [...]

World Focus on the World’s Bellybutton

By hugh | Published: October 28, 2008

Riding on the sidewalk but not for long In which I get wonky and talk about the media… How would an American nonprofit news program about “the world” be constructed? (or does 1010 WINS really think they’ve covered the world in 22 minutes?)

Not Looking Forward to Winter

There’s a sense of dread in the air. Only liking it one bit. I like people walking around in giant tubes and gear getups.

Good Afternoon Campers

By hugh | Published: October 26, 2008

My last post wasn’t meant to foment anything — dare I link to the housefly Sylvia Kraus style intellect that is Mark Levin. I shouldn’t be surprised and should just be a banana slug — but I’m constantly chagrined by the mendacity of people involved in the political process. I call for more Kryssy at [...]

Old Paper Not in Use: Wingnuts of the Past

By hugh | Published: October 25, 2008

I was going through some piles and found this flyer. I wish I remembered where I got it from… The grip of fear that motivates people can be powerful. Tasteless poisons! I scanned it in and you can read the full content after the jump if you want to.

Old Paper Still in Use

By hugh | Published: October 23, 2008

I had a massive post planned but technology blew me away. Long story. Ok short story. No forget it. I started writing about it and it was tainted. Enjoy these bits.

The Ads and the Subtractions

By hugh | Published: October 21, 2008

There is a great online archive, more for the oldsters probably. They have all presidential TV ads since 1952. I’m sure there are books and articles that run in this vein but it’s interesting to watch a bunch of these ads and think about who won and why and then what happened after. The curator’s [...]

The Wingnuttery of An Actor as President

By hugh | Published: October 16, 2008

I’m watching HBO’s production of Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee. As others have noted, it would’ve been better if HBO had spent at least a season’s worth of Deadwood-style TV time on it instead of making it a 2.2 hour movie. Given its Hollywood drawbacks (pass the bombast please), we can still consolingly absorb [...]
