Where do you start when you hear everything at once?
Jeremiah Wright spoke to an estimated 12,000 people at yesterday’s NAACP dinner in Detroit. I watched on CNN. Here’s part of it: I wasn’t surprised to hear a talented, engaging speaker. I admit to having avoided the notorious youtube clips whose out-of-context media saturation goaded the Clintons and the media corps into a feeding frenzy, [...]
With Pennsylvanians about to decide whether to goad Hillary into extending the run of the Clinton Circus another month or two, let’s pause to remember how good this guy used to be. Wise words.
If the internet is a race, I should’ve posted this a few days ago. Maybe that only matters if you’re blogging for money. I’m not, which is why I didn’t post this a few days ago when, well, I was working for money. But yeah, there was this interview. I realize most of you weren’t [...]
I couldn’t stomach it the first time through in real time, but I just finished watching the debate online. It was more of the same from Clinton, who benefited from the first 40 minutes of the debate being devoid of substance.

We had that president.” I, for one, am hoping that, unlike 2000 and 2004, we have the guts to choose the person who would make the best president. Apparently, Clinton has been changing her [...]
This video has been making the rounds. The apparently pro-Hillary Talk Left blogs about it here. I can’t mention enough that I’m not a Hillary Hater. If she had won the primary fair-and-square, I would’ve spent the next seven months explaining out of one side of my mouth to my Madison friends how Hillary’s not [...]
My recent post on “Poolboy, Tags, and Labels” developed from thoughts I’d mulled over concerning a (straw-man variety of) music theorist’s tendency to label musical events (think: a sonata’s purported “exposition, development, recapitulation”) without addressing the (to me) more interesting things like, say, process or meaning. I brought something personal–Poolboy, in this case–into the discussion [...]
I’ve recently updated previous posts on Jim Hightower and Union Cab (he’s speaking this Sunday in Madison), Dan Savage (who writes about his mom dying), and the Wisconsin Spring Elections (the lame guy won).
Tangents for the Chasing
