Friday LinkFrogging – 10/8/10

Welcome back kids. Another week in the books.  With them came the MLB playoffs.  Roy Halladay threw a no-hitter in the first game of the Phillies' series with the Reds.  That's gotta sting.  The Yankees are doing their annual pummeling of the Twins.  And, the Rangers are 9 innings away from eliminating the (Devil) Rays. …

Friday LinkFrogging – 11/20/09

Welcome once again to a recap of our weekly finds from around the internet. As always, we begin our journey by fortifying ourselves with a piece of cheesecake.  This week, at Chris' request, that cheesecake is Padma Lakshmi, the host of Top Chef on The Food Network.  I have to be honest and say I'm …

Sarah Palin: People Will See Me And Cry

I think the above says it all. Sarah  Palin wrote a book, and to our collective surprise, it was not a pop-up book or a coloring book, or even written in crayon.  It was a real book, with words and punctuation and chapters. Wow.  Good job.  You finished something.  Have another 15 minutes of fame …

Obamagram: Expectations and Responsibilities

The following is the full text of the most recent Obamagram from Charles A. Lewis of Coach House Capital. I think it contains some healthy perspective: As is my wont, let me begin at the beginning.  My wife, Penny Sebring, and I had lunch alone with Obama in July 2003 to get to know him …

Heritage Foundation: Tool of the Apocalypse

Please welcome to the GonzoGeek stage, everybody's favorite neocon thinktank, the Heritage Foundation. You might remember them as the folks who so long pursued a land military base in Iraq and finally found a stooge (W.) willing to implement the plan for them if only they'd give him some goodies. No? Well look it up. …

The Real Reasons Behind: “OBAMA WINS!”

One year ago, it was going to be about Iraq. As recently as 24 hours ago, it was about the economy. Some tried to make it about race. But here, having watched the maps for an entire day, are the 3 real reasons Barack Obama is our new President. 1) Hatred of George W. Bush 2) …

Obama v. McCain: The Truth is Out There

"We are in the bottom of the ninth. "Much like the 1969 'Miracle Mets,' Barack Obama stands on the precipice of history. Barring an error of Bill Buckneresque proportions, Senator Obama will very likely be the winner of the seemingly perpetual 2008 presidential election. The Senator from Illinois- home of the Cubs, the White Sox …

Colin Powell’s Obama endorsement: Transcript

I know it happened more than a week ago, but I thought posting this transcript could still add some value with one week to go before the elections. His reasoning is, and almost always has been, sound. I know both of these individuals very well now.  I've known John for 25 years as your setup …
