War

Monday, August 15th, 2005

The President says he must ‘go one with life’ which means further ignoring Cindy Sheehan and her band of peaceful protesters: Bush’s Saturday schedule included an evening Little League Baseball playoff game, a lunch meeting with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a nap, some fishing and some reading. “I think the people want the president [...]

Illadelph

Sunday, August 14th, 2005

Growing up in Philly with plenty of friends from New York you definitely develop a bit of an inferiority complex regarding our fair city. It IS dirty and there really isn’t much to do after 2 am. But finally even the New York Times is recognizing, in a strange combination of adulation and condescension, how [...]

New Music Saturday

Saturday, August 13th, 2005

Just went to Tower Records and picked up some great new CDs. Some of these I’ve been listening to for a while on Rhapsody but I just needed to get them in a physical, high quality medium. Matisyahu – Live At Stubb’s – Everyone’s favorite Hassidic reggae rapper. Feist – Let It Die – I’ve [...]

Must T.O. Go?

Here at SkaroffBlog we bleed Eagles green. I for one am a big Sixers fan (we’ll miss you dearly A Mc), would love to be able to root for the Phillies if they ever had any hope, and am looking forward to getting into a Flyers team that could threaten this year. But it’s the [...]

Michelle and Georgie

This one is simply too funny to not post. Right Wing News (via PrestoPundit, via PSoTD) surveyed the right Blogostan and asked them who their “Favorite People On The Right” were. Results: 2) George W. Bush (23) 1) Michelle Malkin (24) Ahh George. Just can’t catch a break. LINK Oh, and Dan Savage is guest [...]

Hockenberry: The Blogs of War

Thursday, August 11th, 2005

Last night‘s Daily Show featured the always interesting John Hockenberry, long time NPR correspondent and Dateline reporter who now writes for Wired magazine. He’s written an enlightening and disturbing article for this month’s Wired entitled The Blogs of War: The snapshots of Iraqi prisoners being abused at Abu Ghraib were taken by soldiers and shared [...]

Worst. President. Ever.

Wednesday, August 10th, 2005

I often pause for a moment to consider my hatred of our president, one George W. Bush. I remember the vitriol that spewed from conservatives and Republicans during the travails of the Clinton Administration. People called Clinton a killer and to those of us on the left it sounded purely absurd. Are we just mirroring [...]

Got Extra Spending Money???

Wednesday, August 10th, 2005

A Virginia based company; Space Adventures is offering space tourists a trip around the moon. The company is working with Russian space officials and the voyage will take between 10-21 days, depending partly on the itinerary and whether the trip includes a stop at the International Space Station. (For my money, please, make the stop [...]
