The best German newspaper! Judging by the cover of yesterday’s Bild, one would think that Germany is ready for Michelle Obama to be first lady. It’s not difficult German, but for those of you unable to translate “So sexy ist die neue First Lady”, let me provide a quick and dirty translation: “How sexy […] I have a confession to make. Other than reading The Economist from cover to cover every week, glancing at edition.CNN.com a couple times every day, and reading a few articles about NYC in the New York Times every day, I really do not follow the news. From what I’ve heard, that probably puts me ahead […] 12 Minutes of detail analysis of Republican George W Bush’s time in Iraq, including his sacrifice honoring dead soldiers: he’s given up golf. via Brent Everett Blog (NSFW). I adore This American Life, and this week’s episode is excellent, mainly because it helps bring into focus how embarrassing and nasty America has become under W.

I cannot deny that these are legitimate direct casual links; however […] After reading Jonathan Swift’s brilliant analysis of the brand new, completely accurate, Conservapedia, I thought I’d poke around a bit. The unbiased and extremely brief biography of George W. Bush notes: For many months after John Kerry conceded the outcome of the 2004 election to George W. Bush, some liberals continued to claim that the […] Today has been a good day—albeit busy. And yes, I am happy about the elections, but I remain concerned about the Senate. Presuming the last two seats go Democratic (and they should), I am afraid of that asshole named Joe Lieberman. Sure Lieberman has said he will vote with the Democrats, but when was the […] So last night a group of colleagues and I got together to watch a couple films—the first being the controversial British film, Death of a President.
