Well...not a rant per say...just a guarded reaction to news that might be good and might not: the Pirates have hired Neal Huntington to replace Worthless Dave Littlefield as General Manager. Just like the new president they hired a couple weeks ago, Huntington is saying all the right things so far, and he comes from the Cleveland Indians--pretty much exactly the franchise the Pirates need to

...what's the more perfect example of "I Know You Are, But What Am I?" politics:a) The White House saying Obama is too "intellectually lazy" to be president, orb) Chris Wallace asking Hillary Clinton why she and her husband are so "hyper-partisan"?I'm going with (a) simply on originality points.

Okay, if you lose your cocaine and panic that the guys you work with are going to think you ripped them off, it’s still probably not the greatest idea to call the feds and ask them to say publicly that they had seized the drugs.

At least one Australian has sense about global warming. The redoubtable Tim Flannery, of whom we’ve spoken before, and who was actually named Australian of the Year (can a nation really do that?), is sounding the alarm we’ve been screaming here. The warming is happening faster than the models and experts have been predicting. Here’s his major point: Flannery said predictions in a 2001 UN

The Social Atom blog has been pleasant because of the wide-eyed amazement of a very modern physicist with a solid rep in networking and complex systems happening upon the silly, overrated discipline that is economics. Especially that discipline's insistence that humans are rational. We've been hammering at them here for a longer while, but it's nice to hear someone smart say the same things.

Mannion walks through exactly why these next 500 days will probably even more disastrous than the last 500 days.Oh, and I happened to be flipping through to MSNBC last night just as Olbermann's Special Comment began. Intense, to say the least. The only thing more frustrating than what Olbermann is talking about, though, is the fact that everybody can say whatever they want...it's going to

Here’s the thing, folks. Nuclear power requires large amounts of water in a wide range of ways. It only makes sense what little sense it does if there will be abundant water available in the future. That doesn’t look likely. Especially in the frickin’ West. Is there a Stupid Competition going on out there?

I love when this happens. Over at Grist, they’ve caught the obstructionists among the coal types admitting that the value of “sequestration” is political, not economic or technological. It’s too expensive and complicated to work, but it buys off the lazy, hopeful, or naïve while coal goes merrily along building those new plants that will seal the deal on our horrendous future.

Next to my appreciation of telenovelas, infomercials, and Shannon Tweed late night flicks, I'm probably one of the world's oldest fans of teenage sex comedies, although few of them really have much actual sex. I've thought for years that "The Sure Thing" was one of the best movies ever made, seen "Mean Girls" three times, thought Kate Bosworth was as painfully miscast in "Win a Date with Tad

The anti-tax people in Britain are monkeying with figures to support their religious views against paying their share of their community's upkeep and preparation for future generations.

It’s popular among some bloggers to diminish the role of protest in political affairs, claiming that it does more harm than good. Unfortunately for those folks, historically protest, and even violent protest, has been more associated with political change than any other activity. Grist has a post on a report showing exactly that regarding global warming. Change has accompanied protest more

So apparently NBC is pulling it’s iTunes contract after it runs out this December. You can get the details here. But this could come as a pretty big blow to Apple.

With all this talk I’ve made recently about how great hip hop was in late-2002, I figured it would be interesting to go back and look at 2002’s albums. I figured I’d throw out the Top 10 albums of the year according to my memories and perceptions and compare them to what my iPod ratings of each song actually tells me.Hip hop did indeed make four outstanding late-year contributions to 2002’s

Of all the pseudo-underground, ‘conscious’ rappers and that I discovered in the late ‘90s (Talib Kweli, Mos Def, The Roots, Common, Jurassic 5, etc.), I’ve always been the most fond of Kweli. Mos Def has more charisma, and though he only chooses to show it so often, seems to have the most overall talent. Common is the most suave. The Roots have the best live presence.

He has some very good posts up on the Busheviks’ evisceration of the nature and cultures of mountain tops all in the name of short-term coal profits, the media once again doing a story on renewables and standards for them without hitting the major points, and the framing necessary to get the emissions reductions requirements approved (along with intelligent conjecture on whether it

In 2004 Howard Dean was the closest to understanding what has happened to the American Legacy and what it would take to restore it in a political world of Repubs and Repub-lites. John Edwards, with his “Two Americas” theme, was closest behind him. Of course we know what was done to Dean by his own party, and John Kerry stupefied and emasculated any effort by Edwards to talk about underlying

Joseph Romm provides Part 3 of his series on why the climate models are likely underestimating future global warming, a point we’ve been nauseating ourselves with. The major point is that the models accept certain things happening, such as permafrost melt, but then don’t feed the carbon release (which is meganormous) back into the models. The result is underestimating the buildup and thus the

Greenpeace doing a nice job of challenging the ASEAN nations on their embrace of “clean” nuke power, making them face the need for safety regulations in place before new construction.

I've mentioned frequently that one reason I'm not a Dem and why I find them so disheartening in the face of the united message and movement of the Busheviks is that they have no principled message of their own around which to rally voters and base the policy choices that voters say they want. Here's a perfect example, in a book review critical of the sad Matt Bai who nevertheless says the same
