Partial Pan
Inside-Out China | October 13th 2008 by Xujun Eberlein
Philip Pan's journalism writing is at its best when his own voice is the least intrusive. For the most part, he's a good storyteller in Out of Mao's Shadow. I very much enjoyed reading all the eleven stories in the book, among them "The Newspaperman read more

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, we just may be fucked
Brain Spank | October 4th 2008 by Michael
This will get ugly quick because Doubtfire has nothing to lose. He’s in the suck and losing ground. It will be painful for a cornucopia of reasons. We’ll actually suffer for the inevitable shift of focus further away from legitimate is read more

I gotta tell you
Brain Spank | October 2nd 2008 by Michael
First off, forgive the focus of late, but it really is the most important issue of the day. The next month, and barring the apocolypse, a few generations from now at least. You know, the election. I gotta get this first thing out because it̵ read more
Allright, I’ll weigh in
Brain Spank | September 30th 2008 by Michael
Just like Doubtfire, economics is not my strong suit. I took macro and micro in college, over twenty years ago. I bought and sold a house that earned me a profit. Kinda. I can do math in my head. Kinda. Ironically, in recent months I’ve read more

A high functioning moron
Brain Spank | September 26th 2008 by Michael
Paul Begala said it of Dumbya about his speech last night and whether there was any resonance. I fell off the couch howling. He was saying that no one cared. I had to watch the speech in pieces. A yawner. I kept thinking about how close togethe read more
I’ve had an epiphany and it turned into a rant
Brain Spank | September 25th 2008 by Michael
My epiphany smacks of *gasp*, socialism and radicalism. It’s pretty out there. As a concept, I mean. Here we go. Why not implore, nay, beseech those who have benifitted so lavishly from America’s free market economy to pony up some filt read more
Tonight it’s five bucks for a $5.75 show.
Brain Spank | September 24th 2008 by Michael
Cone of silence. This is asinine. Sarah Palin in New York meeting with world luminaries, glistening and tarnished. I can’t believe this crap. At first, the McCain campaign (Insane in the Membrane), insisted no reporters be allowed to acco read more
It seems as though
Brain Spank | September 23rd 2008 by Michael
I was right. Doubtfire has begun to slip in the estimation of America. This includes of course, Ms. Palin. It’s pretty simple really. People are beginning to understand she’s a shiny new penny. In one of those tiny hand blown glass read more

I can’t stand it.
Brain Spank | September 19th 2008 by Michael
The polls are suspect, but way too close. I’m so tired of worrying. Should we brace ourselves for a complete clusterfuck? The economy can barely walk, lung disease and a nasty infection. Coughing up yellow shit. The polls are close. Maybe. read more

Brain Spank | September 16th 2008 by Michael

Guess what?
Brain Spank | September 12th 2008 by Michael
If he were white, this would be over. All that talent, all that charisma and all that intelligence. If he were white, McCain would be bucking for a cabinet post at best. “JFK” would escape the lips of Americans without hesitation. If read more

Shall we discuss the twin Gorillas?
Brain Spank | September 10th 2008 by Michael
Hulking giants capable of bending jailhouse bars. Not nearly as bright as some of us. Capable of limb ripping violence, though. The Gorillas are Race, and Voter Fraud. I don’t know what to do about election fuckery because I live in Calif read more
