McCainonomics - I’m going to be RICH
I know candidates tend to say the darndest things on the campaign trail (can you say cling? I knew you could!), but John “doesn’t really understand economics“ McCain’s latest foray into fiscal conservatism is a doozie. Kicking off his Last Economist Standing week, he explained how he’d balance the budget in his first term:
The McCain […]
BREAKING
Senior advisors from both campaigns are confirming a series of Town Hall meetings across the country. Said Sen. Clinton of the plan, “As Congressman Paul and I both continue our quixotic quest for the already-decided nominations of our parties, we felt it important to let the American people see how narcissistic and counterproductive our campaigns […]
Do you have a lower court case in need of judicial review?
If so, Tom Goldstein would like to talk to you:
Overheard at Dulles
At the table next to me at Max & Erma’s in Terminal B last night at Dulles, I heard this voicemail left by a guy who is apparently with a defense contractor:
“Jim, hi. Meeting went well today, we’re still on track for next week’s presentation to the President, Vice President and the Joint Chiefs. The […]
The April Fool’s Day Joke That Almost Was…
Another oldie but goodie…

A belated Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Really wish I’d remembered this promise earlier today, so I could have tried to get Erik to dye his hair green. Damn.
(Lawyer that he is, he’ll claim that since I’m at Google now instead of FeedBurner, the bet’s off. But I’d argue that my continuity of employment is clear – I was even answering FeedBurner […]
Here’s to the crazy ones
I don’t have an iPhone – I must be getting older (come to think of it, I do turn 36 later this month which is starting to sound decidedly un-young), but it just doesn’t hold much fascination for me. Sure it’s an elegant piece of equipment, but I just need my preferred phone/device to make […]
Polished presentations at SES
I attended SES San Jose this week, and gave two presentations – one on podcast/audio search optimization, the other on blog and feed SEO. Both are versions of presentations I’d given at past SES shows (NYC, Chicago) and they went pretty well. By the turnout here and in NYC in April, it’s clear that the […]
