Are Scientific Polls A Thing of the Past?

(This may be the longest post ever on Pinkdome)
As someone that nearly failed my political theory class and statistics in college, I am awed by statistics and numbers analysis. I find it fascinating to dive into numbers and review statistical analysis. I just don’t want to have to do it myself.
I recently had an encounter [...]

Hillary Clinton Chosses Campaing Song…by a Canadian

Celine Dion’s “You and I” is the new campaign song for Hillary Clinton. I’d never heard it, but here’s a YouTube video of the song. I guess I get it…”You and I were meant to fly.”

Romney? Seriously?

Some fool is pushing Mitt Romney as the GOP frontrunner. Other candidates are all over him for giving money to Planned Parenthood while running for governor and then ’switching positions’ (DIRTY!) now that he’s running for president.

Ungentlemanly Personal Conduct

Okay, Burka, you win: my interest is piqued. What exactly does the phrase “ungentlemanly personal conduct” mean?

You can have my emails when you pry them from my cold, dead hand

Or, it could be that the RNC simply deleted all of them. Either way, using your RNC account to send official White House business emails is a no-no. Why does no one think that’s a big deal? Is it because we’ve just been beat down by the hubris of this administration? I, for one, think [...]

Excuse me, is that a gun in your briefcase?

Why yes, yes it is! Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) finally admitted that it was his gun his senior aide was carrying in a briefcase. Why his senior aide had his gun and was wandering around with it is another story. Whatever the reason, the poor aide now has a legal battle since he was arrested [...]

The lesser of two assholes

San Antonio lawyer Mikal Watts has decided to think about running against John Cornyn for the U.S. Senate. Watts may have trouble getting the Democratic nomination with his anti-abortion rhetoric. “I personally have the view: I hold the pro-life position with three exceptions: one for rape, one for incest, one for the life of the [...]

Apparently, the Statesman has something to say…

Over and over again. Either that or Dell is the only business in Austin. Check out this screenshot from this morning’s front page on their site.

So, I’m guessing that the accounting thing is almost over at Dell?
Dear Statesman, if you’re looking for an online editor you are in luck! I’m available and currently looking for [...]
