Obviously the mortgage situation is a problem that needs to be fixed, but still I continue to wonder, where’s my rent bailout? Obama says a home — meaning a home that one owns, or is trying to own by taking out a 30-year loan to pay for it — is the cornerstone of a family’s … more…
Look at the curtain open behind Obama. It looks like he actually shot this before dawn this morning, so either he was up all night working, or up superearly to get back to work. Nice contrast with the current occupant of the White House, who’s in bed by 9pm. There is something seriously fucking wrong … more…
What’s that one-spirit, one-family stuff he’s talking? As long as the people who engineered this financial disaster — the CEOs of banks and brokerages and auto companies and airlines and big-box superstores and all the others — not only go unpunished and but actually retain the rewards of their incompetence and malfeasance, this is just … more…

Thank god for DVR. I’ll watch Obama and record Pushing Daisies, for later blogging. I have to wonder, though, why ABC held out for so long on agreeing to air Obama’s half-hour whatever-it’s-gonna-be that the Obama campaign said “No, thanks, we’re good.” And of course I worry that if everyone in the whole damn country … more…
Countdown to Election 2008. More political stuff all this week on “web video of the day.” Tune out if you can’t take it.
