Tonight, I elected a black man to be my President. Of course, that’s not why I voted for him or why he’ll make a great POTUS, but it makes his - now, America’s - story all the more inspiring.
I grew up on movies like The Candidate and later got hooked on The West Wing. Stories [...]

Religulously Scary
Obviously, I loved Religulous. It was funny and made its point perfectly. Of course this means as much as Trekkie’s review of the next Star Trek movie. But we had to get it out of the way.

You Betcha, She’s Folksy!
Having missed the VP debate tonight to attend the Open House at my daughter’s elementary school, I watched the recorded “showdown” with a unique perspective. You see, while y’alls were watching Joey the Shark masacre Sarah the Fauxbot, I was sitting on miniature plastic chairs, surrounded by construction paper art, and listening to a teacher [...]

Now if we can just do something about that “Creator” part, we might be on to something! How about:

Natasha Shneider
One of my all-time favorite songwriters/musicians and part of the Real Pie extended family, Natasha Shneider, died yesterday. She will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with her loved ones and friends.
Please help cover medical costs by donating to the memorial fund if you can.

Coolest Republican on Capitol Hill
Congressman John Culberson of Texas has discovered Qik streaming video and he’s hell bent on giving us a firsthand look inside the offices and hallways of Capitol Hill. My two worlds have converged and I’m a pig in shit watching John’s videos.
Tip of the Hat to Robert Scoble for shining the light on Culberson and [...]
