If you have even the mildest case of TDS this hasn’t been a good week for you. On top of the theatrics and hysterics being played out in all-nighters in Washington, we got this breaking news late last night. NBC NEWS’ Rudy Chinchilla did about as fair and balanced a reporting as one could reasonably … Read more
Well, the Fat-scist-In-Chief up and did it. On an otherwise slow summer Saturday night the internet reverberated with the reaction to this proclamation of war. No, it’s not quite up there in quotability as “Yesterday, December 7th, 1941, is a date that will live in infamy”. But it’s patently obviously that anyone who uses the … Read more
NOTE: This musing also appears today on our sister site Double Overtime. Please visit it regularly for coverage of sports of all sorts plus occasional articles on technology.

At one time the most prominent ticket broker in the theatre district just happened to be named Leblang’s Tickets, and an old … Read more
I’ll apologize up front to those of you who actually care that I’ve been even less than 100 percent than usual lately. My stomach issues have become more frequent and painful and it seems things that used to be ok are becoming more problematic. Last night, a piece of broiled salmon coupled with a sip … Read more
Like quite a number of people who follow this stuff, I was practically incredulous when we learned what the Democrats’ most recent investment into somehow cracking the bro code produced for them. POLITICO’s Elena Schneider was among those who broke said details yesterday: It “reaffirms what young men already think, that Democrats don’t want to … Read more
When the news broke last week that Elon Musk’s days in Washington were over I almost felt bad for the dude. Emphasis on the word ALMOST. I mean, it’s hard to have sympathy for someone who celebrated the termination of thousands of careers with a chain saw and a salute of questionable (at best) significance … Read more
There’s scant few shows of any kind that have had the kind of relative stability than has been seen with NBC NIGHTLY NEWS.
