I was outside in the parking lot watching this on the screens the Phillies set up for fans who didn’t have tickets to the rally inside the stadium: 1) As you can tell by the YouTube, this basically summed up the mood of the day. 2) This was one of the ten to fifteen best [...]

For a guy with “zero executive experience,” Obama seems to have this whole President thing pretty dialed: “The level of detail that the Obama transition team is getting into is extraordinary – they are leaving no stone unturned,” said a senior former Clinton administration official who has been consulted. “I have been getting calls that [...]

Philadelphia Phillies left fielder Pat Burrell may seem like an odd player to root for — underperforming, overpaid, universally maligned by Phillies fans — but for a while I’ve felt bad for the guy. He and shortstop Jimmy Rollins have spent their entire careers with the woeful-no-longer Phillies, and Philly fans are nothing if not [...]

Want to help me plan the perfect election party? I’m looking for some signature Obama drinks.  Here’s what I’ve come up with so far: The Obama Hope: vodka, Kahlua, and a hint of tequila with cream The 538 Sweep: vodka, tequila, rum, gin, triple sec, and blue curacao with Coke for color The Bush Impeachment: [...]

Great anecdote from Joe Klein: Obama had a choice at that moment. He could thank Petraeus for the briefing and promise to take his views “under advisement.” Or he could tell Petraeus what he really thought, a potentially contentious course of action — especially with a general not used to being confronted. Obama chose to [...]

The Prof, some friends and I had a lively debate the other night about I-1000, the “Death With Dignity” (a.k.a. physician-assisted suicide, or PAS) initiative being considered in Washington State this fall. I was torn about it: my libertarian and progressive instincts both told me to support it (individual rights), but I’m conservative enough to [...]

Do you remember these guys from before September 11? That was a while ago. That’s quite the disclaimer at the end. True.
