Here it is. Proof! Absolutely proof that Obama was indeed born in Kenya. Here's the story behind to absolutely-real not-at-all-fake video. And you can tell it's real because filming births on Super 8 film was so commonplace in 1961. Also, the medical chart (right next to a Kenyan flag) conveniently says that the Woman giving birth is Ann Dunham. … Read More
Seriously, Folks. This Is Looking Bad.
“MODELS SHOW PRESSURE WELL BEYOND WHAT HAS EVER BEEN OBSERVED NEAR THE NJ/NY COAST (EVEN EXCEEDING THE 1938 LONG ISLAND EXPRESS [HURRICANE])” writes NOAA’s Hydrometeorological Prediction Center (HPC). Connecticut meteorologist Ryan Hanrahan noted there has only been one tropical storm with the pressure below 960 mb in the last 60 years in the Northeast. Bob Henson of the University Center for Atmospheric Research adds: … Read More
Progress
They finally decided to name the streets in Costa Rica and put up street signs. And now, before you get a driver's license there, you have to take driving lessons. As one who had to drive there last year, all I can say is…. good ideas. RELATED: Lotta earthquakes there lately, including one about half an hour ago (the orange … Read More
This Is Funny
No, I won't be live-blogging the VP debate tonight. Nor will I be watching.
The Stewart-O’Reilly Rumble
In case you missed it, and apparently many did… … and if you didn't pay for it online this weekend, throw $5 at some charity, will you?
The Morning After
Fun Fact: Winners of first Presidential debates include "Presidents" Mondale, Dukakis, Perot and Kerry. Still, I'm not comforted. ********************* It's amusing to watch the media narrative congeal. Last night, it was clear that Romney won; this morning, Romney gave the greatest debate in the modern history of the Republican party. Maybe that's true, but I certainly didn't feel that way … Read More
NYC To Get The World’s Largest Ferris Wheel
Artist's rendering: It'll be on Staten Island and cost $230 million. Construction is expected to begin in early 2014 on the privately financed project, which also includes a 100-shop outlet mall and a 200-room hotel. The grand opening could come by the end of 2015.
Romney Hits Back With Old Obama Video Talking About “Redistribution”
Apparently, the Romney campaign has an audio clip stuffed in a drawer for such an eventuality as this. The audio clip first surfaced Tuesday, as Democrats were seizing upon their own video of Romney speaking at a private fund-raiser in Florida. That event was held in May. The clip of Obama was recorded in 1998 at Loyola University, according to Romney's campaign … Read More

Dustin Pedroia gets word his wife is in labor: Your browser does not support iframes.
Everyday
One photo per day from January 11, 2000 to June 30, 2012. The aging is very gradual — be patient. Watch the forehead get noticably larger about halfway through. Fascinating stuff. He has a bad hair day everyday, too.
The Romney Speech
I think the most damning thing you can say about the Romney acceptance speech last night was that the Obama team chose to excerpt him heavily, along with his stiffness and non-specificness, in an ad this morning. I mean, look at Romney thoughout this ad, especially the last 10 seconds:
World’s Worst Protester Dies
O.K. So two weeks ago, this guy made the news for his anti-gay protest-gone-wrong outside General Mills: Today, we learned he died: A Twin Cities man who staged a fiery protest outside General Mills headquarters in Golden Valley last week died several days later while running an errand, his family's minister said Wednesday. Michael L. Leisner, 65, of Andover, … Read More
News Night 2.0 Caves
So last night, for all the high-minded talk about doing news differently, the fine journalists at News Night (on HBO's The Newsroom) decided it was important to cover the Casey Anthony case and Anthony Weiner's twitpics of his "manhood". And why? Because Nancy Grace was kicking the crap out of them in the ratings. Oh, sure, there was much handwringing … Read More
