Apple Does Something Microsoft Could Never Get Away With

Apple’s latest edict on the type of software used to develop for the iPhone seems to me a step beyond any of the anti-competitive stuff Microsoft has ever done. Apple’s position in the consumer smartphone space is getting to such a dominant status that this type of practice ought to be completely frowned upon. I’m … Read more

They’ll Own The First Body

Looking around at the conservative blogosphere’s reaction to threats and actual violence versus Democratic lawmakers that instead of condemning the actions the right is actually excusing it, and in some ways, egging it on. When the first dead body turns up as a result of tea party terrorism, they’ll own it, completely. Nobody’s arguing that … Read more

Sarah Palin Caught Reading Answers Off Her Hand*

Yeah, the teleprompter stuff was already dumb (I’d like to see some conservative pols handle an unscripted session like Obama did with the House GOP), but after seeing dear Sarah read off her hand at the teabag convention, that talking point should die.

Of course, pretending to not be a communist would be the perfect cover for a communist, right? Unity and resistance are what the fist represented in 1917, when it was first employed by the Industrial Workers of the World, a union organization founded by socialists. And in the 1940s, when it stood for various nations’ … Read more

SNL Hires Two New Cast Members, Still…

I’m guessing their hiring may not be over, but is SNL going to go through another season without hiring any more minority cast members? The Fred Armisen Obama is a total mistake (SNL does best when they have a great political impression – Tina Fey as Palin, Will Ferrell as Bush, Phil Hartman as Clinton…), … Read more

Black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. is accusing a Massachusetts police department of racism after being arrested while trying to get into his locked home near Harvard University.
