Not going to change anything. Glad he harped on the Dems to frakking stand up for themselves and get something done. Glad he called out the Republicans, but he did so sort of wimpily. He’s got to lay some smack down.

I love my iPhone, because it does almost everything I want to do: fun games, good productivity, good connectivity. Its flaw is the tiny screen: bad for typing, not great for web browsing. The iPad looks to fix that. Better screen, better data entry, same goodness as the iPhone. Want.

Because the Scott Brown victory is going to consume the meagre news media I do pay attention to. The story is going to be “body blow to Obama”, all of Obama’s opponents are going to give him fake advice to move to the right, and the shame the Democrats are feeling is going to be [...]

This. Quote: “[Edgar] reached base more times than Ernie Banks in 1,600 fewer plate appearances and outslugged Banks as well. He reached base 145 times more than Dawson did, but made 2,400 fewer outs. That is a difference of several hundred runs of value between what Edgar provided to his team and what Dawson provided [...]
