Forget about Weapons of Mass Destruction. Forget about Health Care and the War in Iraq and Swift Boats and The Texas National Guard. Forget about Halliburton and Tax Cuts For Rich People and Flip-Flops and Bulges on Backs. Forget about all that stuff and go read some classic Pogo comic strips from the election years […]
Not long ago, I linked to Tom Spurgeon's new comic news website. That link and a few others drove so much traffic there that, he now informs me, his server kicked him off. Which is why if you go there, you get an "account suspended" page. Tom says a new server is being engaged and […]
It is a long-standing Internet Tradition — invented by me and followed by very few others — that when the proprietor of a weblog is too busy to update said weblog, the proprietor posts a photo of a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup. Since this is a comfort food, it is intended to […]

I just want it over with. I'm sick of this election. I'm sick of spin. I'm sick of talk about an October Surprise. It's starting to look like the October Surprise will be that there's no October Surprise. Most of all, I'm sick of looking at polls and of electoral maps with these states colored […]
Unlike most newspapers today, when we get it wrong here at news from me, we correct ourselves. Usually. In one of the pieces about the Ashlee Simpson incident, I referenced the famous incident where Sinead O'Connor concluded a song by tearing up a picture of the Pope. I said, referring to the way it played […]
How long is a baseball game? I just did an Internet search and found varying times, but the average seems to be about 2 hours and 47 minutes. That means there are plenty of games that run over three hours. The first game of the World Series ran four hours. The second ran close to […]
