Could there be a hidden X effect?

With all the chatter about The Bradley effect (I’d link her but there are just too many articles to choose from, and besides if you don’t know what it is by now than you must have your head up your ass, which begs the question: how the hell are you reading this anyway?) and now [...]

Forget about Maureen and Barry. What about Maureen and Eve?

Whilst googling Eve Plumb I came across some articles, like this one from the New York Post, that claimed Maureen McCormick was going to reveal a lesbian affair with Eve Plumb. Whoa! Baby!
Of course, if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is. If it was true McCormick seems to have decided [...]

Yes. I’m reading Maureen McCormick’s memoir

I admit it!
I have set aside David Foster Wallace’s amazingly, magnificently intelligent tome, Infinite Jest, the novel Blindness by the Nobel Prize winning author, Jose Saramago, which has just been made into a very cool-looking movie staring Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo, as well as Sarah Vowel’s latest nonfiction book, to [...]

And finally acceptance….

Over the weekend I was privy to a conversation in which I heard what I can only assume was a Republican/McCain supporter concede that Obama was going to win the Presidential Election. Of course, in typical stodgy conservative fashion it was grudging at best. This guy (older white in a gray suit and balding, [...]

Does anyone else feel burned out on this election?

I can’t be the only one. Surely.
At first, I thought it was just the beginning of a cold. Some people at my work have been sick and I figured I’d caught the bug. It’s about that time of the year, right. But it soon became clear that I hadn’t contracted an early incarnation of the [...]

Greg on Marsha

Or Barry on Maureen, I should say…
Or more acurately Barry not quite on Maureen…
With the release of Maureen McCormick’s new “tell all” bio of course comes the obligatory reactions and commentary from fellow cast memebers, especially from  Barry Williams, aka Greg Brady, who everyone knows had a thing with Maraureen while she show was going on. According to [...]

More backs up on Joe The Plumber

Dailykos has got an update with more crap on Joe The Plumber.
Like:
1) He’s a registered Republican
2) He owes back taxes
3) There’s some question about him being a licensed plumber, even apparently by his own admission
4) Apparently he believes Obama will turn the country socialist
Being a registered Republican doesn’t make Joe a bad guy, but it [...]

Who is Joe The Plumber?

Real name Joe Worzelbacher, could he be a McCain shill? Dailykos suspects so.
For starters, according to Ben Smith, he’s not registered to vote.
I have no idea who Ben Smith is. Probably some Liberal shill, knowing dailykos.
But doesn’t…
It also seems odd that he just happens to be buying a business that would earn exactly the amount of [...]
