…is not an indicator of future returns. At least, that’s what they always seem to say. Despite the saying, any decent chartist worth his salt will tell you that it is simply not true; the markets move in complex but discernible patterns. I won’t go into details here, but I want to address the potential [...]
Today’s closer-than-it-should-have-been win by the Patriots over the Seahawks, the loss by the Jets to the 49ers, along with the Dolphins’ win over Buffalo (which apparently took place in Canada of all places) brings all three teams to a three-way tie atop the AFC East. I don’t really have any analysis of the situation, or [...]
I know that we’re new to the scene, and you may be concerned that we lack experience as edgy political commentators. In the event that anyone doubts my qualifications to be an angry liberal blogger, I’d like to reassure you of my status as an Eastern Elite by announcing that I have just consumed a [...]
In pretty much every other alternate universe, Eliot Spitzer is the second-most powerful man in the world right now.
Cao beats “Dollar Bill” Wait, or was it Shinseki? Not sure; all look same
The AP has called LA-02 for Anh Cao. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I dub thee Lulziana. LA-02 and LA-04 had their general elections today—the whole calendar got pushed back by Hurricane Gustav back in September. The incumbent in LA-02 was Democratic Rep.

There is [...]
I think we might have to bring in UN observers to make sure we’re doing our elections right. The Minnesota recount, probably the most ridiculous recount since the Gregoire/Rossi race in 2004, has been simultaneously enthralling, embarrassing, and revealing (by which I mean it confirms what huge dorks we are for following elections in the [...]
Schizo stock market Half a million jobs were lost But you just don’t care Barack Obama His name has five syllables Very convenient C. Saxby Chambliss Has a crazy fucking name And groped his grand child
Since Rahm Emanuel has been made Chief of Staff designate, there’s been a steady undercurrent of comparisons between Rahmbo and Chuck Norris. Knowing how internet-savvy Team Obama is, I really wonder whether they are knowingly encouraging the comparison. Having your Chief of Staff be viewed as a legendary badass by your base will definitely help [...]
