Hurricane Hotties: Stripping During Sandy
October 29th, 2012Driving north through Georgetown, seeking refuge at home as Hurricane Sandy turned into a monster storm, a sign with bright orange letters caught my eye: ”Yes, We’re OPEN.”
While I didn’t particularly want to get out of my warm, dry car and brave the sheets of rain and howling wind, I knew — journalistically speaking – that this was a story.

It is on all those laptop screens, he says, that “the conventional wisdom gels — and subsequent tweets, except those from the most hardened partisans, increasingly reflect the Twitter-forged consensus.”
This is utterly wrong–okay, mostly wrong.
Obama Is Jewish? Oy.
October 29th, 2012Can we really trust voters?
The Associated Press conducted a poll on racial attitudes of votes this week that including a question asking voters what they believed Barack Obama’s religious affiliation was. Eighteen percent of voters surveyed thought that the president is Jewish.
