Push the button, Frank

This "bailout" isn't padding CEO accounts or buying diamonds for Blofeld. It's is oiling the machine of our markets and if we don't pass it there will be worse consequences than a trillion bucks added to our debt. It SOUNDS like a lot of money, bu...

Bill and Ted's Economic Downturn

2008-09-25T03:09:00Z

The Vagina Demagogues

If you are a Democrat and you supported Hillary but now you're going to vote for Palin you are sexist. You're also proving the sexist commenters correct: you're voting for gender apart from policy. You know the old saying "wolf in sheep's clothi...

Woo, I'm blogging again!

2008-07-30T01:53:59Z

After an extended vacation from unfiltered personal blogging, I'm back on vox to continue my verbal assault on good sense. Or something. At the least, I'll share my travails as a work-at-home dad. Or something. Ah, who am I kidding? I'll be lu...
