Party Pages

by micki on August 31, 2004 · 0 comments

Please please please check out Jason’s blog entry, “Party Pages.” He brilliantly compares the websites of the two parties: GOP.com and democrats.org.

In a race where the choices have supposedly been Bush or Not-Bush, the Not-Bush side has decided that their candidate is so strong that they need not rely on the politics of hate and the policy of spin to make their point. This President’s mistakes have been easier to pinpoint than any in my lifetime, and still the DNC page chooses to take a positive approach, even in light of the shitstorm brewing at GOP.com.

Visit them both and see for yourself.

Live-blogging the RNC

I’m only catching the final speech: Rudolf Giuliani. I’ll do my best to keep up. I’m also cooking dinner and watching sans TiVo.

Poop Culture

August 30, 2004

American pop culture is a sad state of affairs. This year’s VMA’s didn’t even provide any sort of guilty pleasure for me. It was just bad. The sound was horrible, the speeches insincere, the performances lackluster. Nobody’s boob even popped out! Come on, MTV! I think what we need is a new star. A real [...]

Democracy is the new Black

August 27, 2004

From MoveOn.org member email:
Last month John Pappageorge, a Republican state representative in Michigan, told a journalist that the Republicans would do poorly if they failed to �suppress the Detroit vote.� Detroit, of course, is 83% black.
Democratic officials expressed their outrage, and Pappageorge eventually apologized for his words, but his statement spoke to a bigger truth: [...]

The return of the gnome

August 26, 2004

My good friend AJ is hilarious. He has the best laugh and he’s never afraid to use it, even when the joke is aimed at himself. AJ and I have a history. We went to film school at BU together and he recorded sound for my final film… which he summarily ruined. So now I’m [...]

I’m not comfortable

August 25, 2004

How many times have you heard the sentence, “All we can do now is make him comfortable.” It’s in every movie, everyone says it about their dying uncle, and it has never struck me as strange. Until last week.
How do you send someone home from the hospital with only the goal “to make him [...]
