"Oh my God. More Facebook changes?" I'm sure that's the thought of anyone who logged on to Facebook in the past 24 hours and saw some announcement about "new" things that Facebook is doing. For most of us, we're happy with the way Facebook is right now thank you very much, and the only change we really want is a … Read More
The Progressive President
Yglesius: Now that it’s done, Barack Obama will go down in history as one of America’s finest presidents. It’s always possible of course that, like LBJ, he’ll get involved in some unrelated fiasco that mars his reputation. But fundamentally, he’s reshaped the policy landscape in a way that no progressive politician has done in decades. Under the circumstances, it’s in … Read More

This is what THE SEVENTH SENSE blog masthead looked like when it began in the Middle Ages:
Sentence Of The Day
Jon Chait found it: Today's Wall Street Journal editorial page has one of those sentences that make the Wall Street Journal editorial page such a daily delight: "Last week President Obama sanctioned 'reconciliation,' a complex tactic that would jam ObamaCare into law on sheer power politics." The beautiful thing about this sentence is that it has no argument (nor is … Read More

Death Of A Blogger
The great Jon Swift has died. Swift was a mock-conservative who declared that he received his news through unbiased sources like Rush Limbaugh. Of the economic downturn, Swift wrote: “At a time when Wall Street executives are being forced to give up their private planes, limousines, bathroom renovations and multimillion dollar bonuses, the idea that a homeless man has been allowed … Read More
Roger Ebert Finds His Voice
Cancer has devastated film critic Roger Ebert's lower jaw and rendered him speechless. This has not stopped him from speaking out on the issues of the day and ironically, as pointed out in this much-praised Esquire article, Ebert is becoming a spokesman for the political left, mainly through his Tweets. He has been able to vocalize through the use of … Read More

A Special Thank You
Thank you to The Seventh Sense's senior beauty pageant correspondent, Heather, for gracing the website with pictures of hot girls. I fear they will overtake the rest of this site in terms of popularity. But so what?
‘Sup With The Lack of Blogging Lately?
Oh, a show. Work. Life. Burnout. All that. Plus, not a lot to say that is particularly insightful. Haiti was bad, but I guess everyone knew that. Scott Brown being elected to the U.S. Senate was bad, but not as bad as everyone made it out to be. He's a liberal Republican from Massachusetts, which is on a par with … Read More
Merry Christmas
Light blogging continues through the holiday season. I'll be travelling — totally stalkable here (although not ALL the time). Proud of the Bubs.
Why I Hate These Magazines
….because they're recycled crap. I mean, how much times care you write about great abs and great sex and not repeat yourself? And women's magazines (Cosmo, etc.) are worse
