Sarah Palin debate flow chart

October 4, 2008 – 9:24 pm

This is pretty much how I saw it too….

Let’s be clear: I don’t mind the Palin as a person, though I strongly disagree with her folksy view of the world. In any case, I don’t think she has any business running for the White House, however cute and spunky her speeches may be.

A silly conversation…

August 20, 2008 – 4:11 am

with one of my favorite students: (We were both dead serious.)

Super Bowl time! Two of my all-time favorite Super Bowl commercials.

February 2, 2008 – 5:22 pm

Dude?!

November 12, 2007 – 3:55 am

Recently, during a disagreement, my Bolivian-Japanese friend got straight-up mad at me for addressing him with this word a few times in a row. He spent several years in the barrios of East LA and insists that latinos don’t ever call each other “Dude.” That may have been true in the ’80s (Think ‘Blood in […]
