DIVIDED NATION? UK ON ST GEORGE'S DAY British people are becoming less patriotic and more than three-quarters living in England think it is a worse place to live than 20 years ago, a Sky News survey reveals.
Yahoo and AP Go Nuts Over Projected Clinton Win
Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:21:25 PDT
Yahoo is bullshitting heavily on the PA election: From the actual article (emphasis mine): The former first lady was winning 53 percent of the vote to 47 percent for her rival with 9 percent of the vote counted, and she hoped for significant inroads into Obama’s overall lead in the competition for delegates to the Democratic National Convention. I’ve completely had it with news outlets claiming a 6 percent win projected with 9 percent of the vote is somehow “crucial” or “decisive”. This

Papers I wish I’d seen last week Posted on April 22, 2008 by Jeremy Was unable to get to the Foucault conference last week. Apparently the challenge of going to 2 conferences at once was too much!

Thank you, internets, for talking me off my ledge. The Girl was diagnosed with a UTI and is now medicated and learning to like the taste of cranberry juice. If only she hadn't developed that mysterious rash this evening.... I don't keep up with the news these days, but when I hear snippets about this story, I am appalled. Beyond appalled. I took heparin throughout both my pregnancies, and I continue to think of it as my own personal miracle drug. If I had been pregnant during these recal
American Idol Top 6: Forgotten Words And Joke Tshirts
Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:23:22 PDT
For the American Idol top 6 performance show, the theme was the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. The American Idol finalists flew to the Phantom of the Opera theatre in Las Vegas to meet with Andrew Lloyd Webber. Because of the difficulty of the songs, judge Randy Jackson predicted it would be the toughest night of the season. Syesha Mercado sang “One Rock N’ Roll Too Many.” Randy Jackson said, “I think you could be a huge Broadway star.” Paula Abdul said, “You’ve brought the house down righ
Pony: The Weaning Blues
Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:24:17 PDT
The Weaning Blues No one warned me about this: I have been feeling heavy of heart these days and flimsy of constitution. Sad movies destroy me. The news is almost unbearable unless parsed by Jon Stewart. I remember when I was a kid and we used to think that moms were made of frail stuff if they couldn't "take" the violent films we loved. But now I get it - I see everyone as someone's kid. I have accumulated and internalized every story about harm to a child - the abduction, the bizarre
PA Primary: 9pm Update
Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:25:26 PDT
This is how dedicated I am to bringing you the full picture of primary coverage: I'm watching Fox News. You're welcome. This is the Fox News coverage team: Brit Hume, Chris Wallace, Bill Kristol, Fred Barnes and Karl Rove. I am not making this up. Oh, and Juan Williams. Fox News called it for Hillary at 8:45pm. If you wouldn't call it at 8pm, why call it at 8:45pm with just 1% of votes counted? This is the big debate on all networks right now: Was Obama was really trying to win Pennsylvania?
PA Primary: 7:30pm Update
Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:25:26 PDT
CNN's exit polls indicate voters thought Hillary's attacks on Obama were unfair ... yet the same polls show voters who decided in the last week broke towards Hillary. There are a couple of sites claiming to have overall exit poll results ... but as Brendan Loy points out, early overall exit polls have been wrong and skewed towards Obama. There are reports of record high turnout ... but four years ago, the Democratic race had been over for 10 weeks when PA voted. Did you hear all three candidat

So, Leah and Simon are pregnant. (Can we all just say that we have been on the edge of our chairs waiting for the moment when she would break the news?) And then she did. And then she ran a contest on her site. Rebecca Woolf, of the fabulous GGC and "Straight from the Bottle," has ...]
