Tikkun magazine, for which I interned in the early '90s, has published an article by the pseudonymous Israel Shamir, a notorious antisemite and arguably a neo-Nazi. The subject is terrorism, Israel and Palestine. This is sad, because Tikkun originated as a sane voice on the left, dedicated to getting beyond crude and demagogic thinking on the Middle East. Now they try to explain away their mistake...
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Information Communications Technologies practice at Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce its 2008 Quarterly Analyst Briefing
Found on Teh Intertubes. One might think that I have been beaten at manliness, and by someone from Bollywood at that. But that one would be mistaken. The last time I killed two lions at once by stabbing them in...
Obama to Palin: 'Don't Mock the Constitution' "First of all, you don't even get to read them their rights until you catch 'em," Obama said here, drawing laughs from 1,500 supporters in a high school gymnasium. "They should spend more time trying to catch Osama bin Laden and we can worry about the next steps later." If the plotters of the Sept. 11 attacks are in the government's sights, Obama went...
OMG. The Federal Highway Trust Fund is broke, and it's brokenness will hit every state. In the ssme news cycle, almost, the federal government, a Republican gubment, socializes housing finance. God help us. Republicans SUCK at socializing things. We do live in interesting times. Mess or not to inherit or not: WE NEED DEMOCRATS IN CHARGE -- because when we NEED the gubment to step, we DESERVE
... you will also puke financially at some point. Unlike getting drunk which feels bad for 24 hours, getting drunk on leverage takes a tad longer to recover when you have had too much. I have never been forced to sell. I believe if you are forced to sell, you are less than an amateur, you are at least criminally negligent. I know what forced selling looks like, because some of the stocks...
Another sign that the Republican Party has divested itself of all competent people is that they have this firecracker of a Vice President, but they did such a craptacular job of vetting her that they have to send her up to Alaska for a week off the campaign trail to hide her away. CHUCK TODD:Well Ron, We’ve been able to see that there are a few folks who are saying [Palin is] actually going to hole...
Dolphins 17, Chargers 10 - Ronnie Brown in the single-wing or “Wildcat” is still devastating teams that have defenses that ought to know better. Brown rushed for 125 yards, scored a TD, while Chad Pennington completed 75% of his passes with a TD toss. The Miami defense made the Chargers look like amateurhour, pressuring [...]
... and the administration? Could the administration be so stupid as to spend thousands of man-hours investigating leaks about Iraq and let this nonsense go on, thus destroying billions upon billions in capital? Does anyone really know what they are doing here? The Treasury-SEC amateurhour is a wondrous thing to behold. I am not excusing Fannie and Freddie: They are worthless....
... on CBS on Sunday, October 2, 1955 in the 9:30-10:00 PM timeslot opposite ABC’s The Original AmateurHour and NBC’s Alcoa-Goodyear Playhouse . In its sixth season the show moved to NBC and was shown on Tuesday 8:30-9:00 PM. On NBC it served as the lead in for two other anthology shows Thriller and The Dick Powell Show . Alfred Hitchcock Presents featured both original works produced...
by publius My views on the debate shifted pretty dramatically as it went on. For the first 30 minutes or so, I thought Palin was going to run away with it. It wasn’t that she was actually saying anything — she just seemed more animated. The zingers were flowing, and Biden looked flat. But after that, things changed and Biden pretty much dominated. Putting aside the first half hour, it was an...
... here and here and here and on cable news (among many other places). Blogging should be more than amateurhour for aspiring pundits. Also, as I argued last week, the importance of debates is frequently exaggerated by media commentators.
The more Rosenbloom closely examines this, the more I'm certain he will realize that the men who have been left in charge — John Shaw and Jay Zygmunt — are guilty of so much amateur-hour bungling. Shaw's absentee-management indifference to the day-to-day operations and Zygmunt's unknowledgeable hands-on meddling in the football side of the business were the lethal combination that has...
... "asleep on the job dude" Williams and [someone they called] "the ninny." They've been text book amateurhour and according to these Chatty Cathys. [They] don't understand their businesses. These same unhappy employees also let slip [that[ these flacks are not well-liked or trusted by quite a few people, including senior management. Word is they had fine people who were well-liked,...
