Thursday, April 10th, 2008Hillary Clinton lies the good lie on Bosnia
Monday, March 24th, 2008So, my choice on the Demo side is between demonstrably bad judgment (Obama) and outright prevarication:
Barack Obama-sistable
Friday, March 21st, 2008Jewno as much as I do
Friday, March 14th, 2008Sometimes, we get Justice
Friday, March 14th, 2008I’m obsessed with this silly song by Justice, the foreign vaguely electronica band-of-the-moment. DVNO, as in DiViNO (like the club in Ibiza). Every blogger out there would love a breakdown of all the graphic references. My favorite are the references to the HBO opener.
You can’t make this up, Dept Of. : Sleeping girl in Hillary’s fear-mongering ad is Obama supporter
Monday, March 10th, 2008Casey Knowles, the little girl seen sleeping in Hillary’s despicable “who do you want answering the phone at 3am” ad is now nearly 18 years old (the ad used old stock footage from Getty) and she has been campaigning for Obama! (As reported by CNN.)
Casey Knowles:

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008Financial Follies: a tour of Bloomberg, Inc.
Tuesday, November 27th, 2007One of my favorite parts of this years Financial Follies: a tour of the Bloomberg, Inc. newsroom. Actually, most of the video is pretty hokey, but I do like the part towards the end when they say the modernist helix-like string of lights is a representation of Mike Bloomberg’s DNA.
The Follies are put on annually in November by the New York Financial Writers’ Association. This year, I was tasked with writing a lot of the songs for the live numbers, but (unfortunately) had no hand in the video production, which turned out to be a great addition to the show. That honor went to Myron Kandel, a founder of CNN, and to funnyman Peter Phelan, in association with various news organizations, such as Bloomberg.
