Over the past year I’ve had the delight of reading and corresponding with Matt of The Tattered Coat. While we may have never met in real life, I consider him a friend and his writing has been something I’ve turned to for insight, humor, and a bit of inspiration. Sadly Matt has (rightly) decided that [...]
Looks like the New York Times is actually catching on to what is going on in the blogosphere — besides criticism of Steven Colbert’s ears — and has started to provide links back to bloggers and posts that are discussing their articles. They lead off with discussion of the Miller case of course. The following [...]
First, a word about the New York Times and their new $50 per year Times Select plan that puts the op-eds and other select features behind a subscription wall. How incredibly short-sighted and foolish of the Times. They’ve turned a blind eye to blogs and the huge impact that citizen journalism is having in pushing [...]
Hey guys at Negadelphia! Allow comments from everyone please. It’s the Iggles Nation after all.
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 [...]

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 [...]
It can only be called a debacle at this point. Eagles training camp started on Monday and while T.O. is there he seems to be causing problems. Westbrook is holding out of camp and Corey Simon, as expected, isn’t there either. Fortunately the Inquirer is doing a fantastic job of feeding Eagles green fever with [...]
It’s almost patently irresponsible of me that I have not yet written about Latoyia Figueroa, the 25-year-old pregnant mother who has been missing from the Philadelphia area since July 18. Unfortunately she’s not white, blond, or about to get married, so until Richard Cranium of All Spin Zone picked up the drum beat, the mainstream [...]
I missed the article yesterday, but Atrios does a good job of finding posts pointing out the remarkable hypocrisy and blatant rancor in Helaine Olen’s article about firing her nanny because of her anonymous blog in this weekend’s New York Times. It begins… OUR former nanny, a 26-year-old former teacher with excellent references, liked to [...]
