It’s gone. Like a long-time friend that suddenly moves away, analog TV has left us for good.
After a delayed separation that was supposed to happen in February, TV stations across the country cut their analog signal this morning and went to digital only.Â
I just flipped through our local channels and found nothing but fuzz. CBS [...]
On June 8, 1984, fans flocked to movie theaters across the country to watch Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson don funny looking brown jumpsuits as they humorously fought ghosts around Manhattan.Â
Can you believe it’s been 25 years already?
Ghostbusters, I believe, is one of the defining movies of my generation. Although it [...]
The Democratic National Committee released a cute little video this week mocking the Sunday show line-up of Republicans: Cheney, Gingrich and McCain. Democrats ask: Is this 1996 or 2009? See the video here.
The basic premise is lame considering Dick Cheney wasn’t even a public servant in 1996.
But the larger point is the Democrats of 2009 [...]

Before taking office, Obama aides said the soon-to-be-president would give a “major speech” in a Muslim capital within 100 days of taking office. The “Hallmark holiday” had an actual goal. Today we learned that the speech will happen in Egypt - one of the many possible locations to choose from - on the 136th day [...]
Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana is making headlines today (one of the top stories on Yahoo! News, in fact) - you can read the story here. Daniels calls on Republicans in Washington, D.C., to stop “whining” in their legislative dealings with Democrats. He faults the leadership for using too many “process arguments” rather than “policy [...]
After early afternoon rumors that Souter was headed out after 18 years on the big bench late night “media reports” made it official: he’s leaving at term’s end, as long as he has a successor confirmed.
Nominated by President George H. W. Bush in 1990, Souter was a “moderate conservative” that turned into a consistent liberal [...]
The Fox hit was cancelled today, so here’s what I planned to say on the House GOP ad released yesterday asking American’s if they feel safer now.
A few people obviously didn’t have their thinking caps on and put images in the ad that have since caused uproar. In 2004, a political ad with images from [...]
Obama started out with issue #1 on everyone’s mind: swine flu. He even joined the re-branding campaign and called it H1N1. After his opening statement, Obama’s underlying theme was focused on reminding the American people how much he has to deal with as president – he mentioned it numerous times – while the press was more [...]
Big news today in Washington, D.C. has been journey home for Arlen Specter. A man that started his long career as a Democrat, then switched to the GOP went back to the D’s today after flirting with the idea for quite sometime. I liken it to Michael Jordan coming out of retirement two times…by the [...]
Ok, lets be clear: No promise any of this will happen. Â But here’s what I’m looking forward to in tomorrow’s press conference.
1) Obama discussing Specter. Will it be pure elation as we’ve seen already today or measured optimism for the potential direction for Obama’s agenda? - He’s excited but doesn’t expect to have a rubberstamp [...]
