In Defense of Hillary Rodham Clinton

If you’re not sick of me yet, I was inspired tonight to pop in with a quick (and shorter than usual, I promise) column. Inspired, as always, by surfing around DailyKos, because I enjoy looking for things to get pissed off about. And there was no shortage of things to get pissed off about tonight!
Some [...]

WASP

A beggar sits at the northeast corner of my block. He’s been there, off and on, ever since I moved into my apartment a year and a half ago. The first time I saw him I thought it could turn into that kind of buddy relationship where I’d greet him every day by putting a [...]

Reid & Emanuel’s Groovy Time-Traveling Adventure!

It wasn’t long after the results of the most recent mid-term election came in that those in the know began questioning just how long it would take the Democrats to begin overreaching. Of course it was not a question of ‘if’, but rather of ‘when’, because government can’t help but do too much. It’s like [...]

Hissing Season

If daffodils carry away with them the winds of March, then I’m certain that they also usher in a season known to nearly all women: Hissing Season. Hissing has almost entirely replaced the catcaller’s cheesy lines of decades past, burned into our collective memory through many a TV commercial or cliché scene in an 80s [...]

Bravery And Courage Does Not Make It OK To Lie

Rep. John Duncan (R-Tennessee) made a great comment during the House Government Oversight and Government Reform committee’s hearing onto the death of Pat Tillman. Duncan commented that while the military should be held in high regard, it should not be “worshipped.” He admitted that the Republican Party reveres the military so much that it ignores [...]

Don’t Worry, Groupie #317: Mick Jagger Lied To Us All

The infant knows when he wants food, and when he wants you to clean his cute little ass; the toddler knows that he wants chicken nuggets and not Brussels sprouts for dinner; hell, even the dog knows that he wants to play catch, and not watch you sit on your sofa and scratch your balls [...]

That Pesky Veto

When the people voted last November, they voted for change. The biggest change they were looking for concerned Iraq. They threw out the Republican majority because they wanted someone to bring the Iraq war to an end. The problem is, they weren’t able to get rid of the head of state, the commander-in-chief, the man [...]

After almost 30 weeks of Dustinland here at Broken Dial, Mr. Glick finally writes about…music. Blasphemy!
There can never be enough rock festivals in our book. The fun one can have while standing shoulder to shoulder with a smelly hippie (or metalhead!) cannot adequately be described in our language. One [...]

Defacing Gun Control’s Grave

As I sit down to write this article we are a week removed from the deadliest mass shooting in the history of this nation, the Virginia Tech massacre. Of course it goes without saying that my heart goes out to each and every victim of the selfish bastard who committed the despicable act, but eventually, [...]
