Next time a Republican tells you that Obama has flip-flopped on his decision to reject public financing for the presidential campaign, quickly and politely remind them that John McCain triple flopped on the same exact issue. Remember back in the old days of last fall when it looked like the McCain campaign was dead in the [...]

Please read my post from last night / early this morning because it is pretty entertaining. I want you to read that, but I can’t delay offering some commentary on the two huge news stories breaking today.

You’ve all likely seen copies of the Free Press, or copies of my papers and handouts rendered in Caslon Pro, Arno Pro, or–most familiarly–Garamond Pro. You’ve seen my clamoring for you to view McDanielFreePress.com using Safari to get the fonts used in the actual newspaper in print form (I said the same for this blog [...]

I am going to Balmer today, but I thought I should write something with some substance today, even if it’s a little tounge and cheek. Just a little. More to come on my life in the coming days, as I craft thank you notes, I’ll put some excerpts up here for all y’all to peruse. There [...]

The United States is dependent on oil for all its transportation needs—land, air and sea.

The man who knew everything, yet was almost always wrong in his predictions, is now dead. Tim Russert, host of “Meet the Press,” collapsed at work this afternoon. Wow. I glanced at NYT and gave my customary “What the Fuck?”, but this time, it was a little louder, and a little more exasperated. I mean, what [...]

I am doing laundry right now, so I thought it would be a good time to talk a little bit about what I’ve been seeing recently in the “spin cycle” aka the news networks’ early afternoon coverage of the economy and electoral politics in recent days. I’m no Jon Stewart, but I think I do have [...]

Thought you might like to see this… Not sure what I make of it. I think it’s a pretty good commercial. Too bad this is happening during the campaign season. I think Carney was trying to sneak this in, thinking that no Dems would dare attack him so close to a campaign since he’s in such [...]
