Happy Birthday to James Marsters, 50. By the way, he was the best thing about Caprica. Although granted that's not saying all that much.
And some good stuff:
1. Yes, funny is hard, but Alex Pareene is exactly right about this one.
2. Meghan Kiesel tries to track down the George Romney and McDonald's story.
3. Sylvia Friedel talks political ads with GOP consultant Fred Davis.
4. Ta-Nehisi Coates on Obama.
5. And good for Chris Cillizza for drawing even a little attention to state legislatures and their elections.
Fred Davis? Demon-sheep, I'm-not-a-witch Fred Davis? Um, yeah. I think I trust the random panel of people more than I trust HIS opinions about what makes a good ad.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. I use Fred Davis as my poster child for one of the ways in which "candidate quality" translates into vote shares. Good candidates travel in circles that know not to hire this hack.
