dear media outlets: ‘hispanics’ are not a neat bloc

Aaaaargh. I just got done listening to an NPR piece in which the correspondent said that (roughly quoting) “Hispanics are the single largest ethnic group in the military.” That was just one of several lines that made me cringe.
PLEASE get it through your heads that Cubans are not Guatamalans are not Salvadorans are not Peruvians [...]

the mother of all October surprises

After watching this youtube video, I’m suddenly wondering (again) if Bush is crazy enough to invade Iran in October. Maybe I should go back to reading my nice book and drinking my nice chamomile. I think I’ll do that.

more campaign finance, flip-flops

Note specifically what Wexler and Richardson say about McCain starting at 5:15. Aren’t the Sunday shows hilarious?

prescient politico headline

wsj ed page oddness

Honestly I haven’t read enough of the WSJ’s editorial page to pass judgment, but this article definitely doesn’t fit the picture that had been painted for me by others.

Orange Politics, audio of the call

That robocall I posted about earlier also got posted on Orange Politics, where it got a lot of reads and a lot of comments fairly quickly. I started a tumblr blog to be able to easily post the audio of the robocall.

robocall from a realtor

I just got a robocall from a group calling itself “Citizens for a better Orange County” that opposes the Transfer Tax. It calls the tax the “Home Tax,” which is clearly wrong on two levels. Firstly, the proposed tax is on all land sales, and secondly it is an attempt to falsely personalize this tax [...]
