The New Yorker Cover

'Dude — I Didn't Even See You!'
(That's what the idiot driver said to me as I was sprawled on the pavement.) Jamie from C&L and Intoxination sent me this link. Fellow cyclist Ezra Klein on bikers vs. cars: ...the dangers of...

Republicans Aren't Funny
This is an on-going fascination of mine. It turns out -- not only are they unfunny, but when they try to be funny, they just come off as goddamn maniacs.
Fake, Fake, Fake Part 2
This makes two corporate media feargasms this week that turned out to be faked.
Morning Awesome
MST3K Saturday. "Truck Farmers!" Also, on this day in history, during "the brutal realities of that foul year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and seventy one," I was born.
Fake, Fake, Fake
I hate quoting Drudge, but for now no-one else has this: Many of Iran's claims related to missile tests during "Great Prophet III" war games -- appear to be smoke and mirrors! The missiles tested DID...
Slow News Day?
Oh fucking please.
Manchurian Candidate
One percent of voters think Senator Obama is Jewish. I like to joke about selling monorails to certain gullible hillbilly types who believe every e-mail they read. But seriously -- I'm contacting Pew...
Heckuva Job
Oil hit $147 today. And instead of doing what's right, Congress spent the last two weeks capitulating to President Fail -- and for what? Giving civil immunity to major corporations. Good job...

Dr. Phil Gramm
I don't know why the McCain campaign and their barbeque-slathered friends in the corporate media are shocked by Phil Gramm's "nation of whiners" remarks. We've known for a while that Gramm was a...
Tour De Google
We can follow the Tour de France at street level via Google Maps. Next thing... Google Doping! (I know, I know. There are like two people here including me who dig cycling. Indulge me.) (h/t Sullivan)
The Axis of Photoshop
When the news broke yesterday about the Iranian missile tests, my honest first reaction was: Yeah, right. In other words, it had to have been a hoax by either the Iranian government or -- why not? ...
I Think I'm Gonna Barf
President Bush is about to sign the FISA Amendments Bill and of course he's playing it like it is: a huge victory for him and his fellow criminals. AND he's invoking 9/11 and the victims who died in...
Crazy McAuliffe
Why has McAuliffe been on TV for the last 24 hours talking about how Jerry Brown and Jesse Jackson took their delegates to the convention? Note to the very serious corporate media: Terry McAuliffe's...
Wingnut Mailbag
I get e-mail from wingnuts... You are just another piece of liberal shit! Get out of my country. I hope the next terrorist attack, there will be one because of appeasers like you, takes out something...
