Recipe: Senate Gruel
A little over a decade ago, I was a fresh-out-of-college kid working the front desk in a Senate office and someone new to “the South.” Having been used to staying up late at the bar where I had previously worked, coming into the office for an 8:00 a.m. shift was a drastic lifestyle change for me. So, making breakfast was a bit of an afterthought, as I had just hoped to get into the office by at…

The Cask of Trump Meritage
The Cask of Trump Meritage
Adapted from The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allen Poe, 1846. As fictionally narrated by Donald Trump.  THE thousand injuries of The Establishment I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled…

A Letter from Atwater Federal Prison
A Letter from Atwater Federal Prison
Those in the self-obsessed world of journalism Twitter certainly know, or know of Matthew Keys. Perhaps never asleep, Keys was once employed by Reuters working in social media. Without retelling the story in too much detail, Keys was fired for “providing the hacking group Anonymous with a user name and password to log in to computers owned by the Tribune Company, parent company of The [Los…

This is the Browns' Year
This is the Browns’ Year
They said we couldn’t do it, but we proved the haters wrong. The Browns are, against all odds, 2 and 0 at losing their starting quarterback. RG3 masterfully lived up to expectations and went down in game one. Nobody was sure if McCown was up for the challenge, and he fought hard to the last minute to prove that he, too, could go out. Now, it’s Cody Kessler’s turn. We’re counting on you, Cody! Go…

Daily Links
Friends: Not all of you are politically active, and many of you hold political views divergent from my own. I’ve heard from some of you that enjoy the random things I share on Facebook and Twitter. Hard as this may be to believe, I read way more interesting stories than I post on Facebook. (Twitter, on the other hand…) I used to have a newsletter, but it’s in hibernation because…. One of the…

Gus Inspects WMATA Track Work Inspectors
Gus Inspects WMATA Track Work Inspectors
Gus must have snagged my Washington Post log-on because he was deeply skeptical of the late-night WMATA track inspectors early this morning. (And for good reason!) I tried taking some pictures with my phone, and that didn’t work out too well, so I busted out the DSLR and got this gem. I love the lighting. The wifi router (at left) is blue, and the lights from the track inspection train are yellow…

Will Trump's War on the Media Work?
Will Trump’s War on the Media Work?
Earlier today, Donald Trump sent out a push “poll” to his supporters attacking the media, which I covered at The Weekly Standard. If you missed the story, Trump — who has not, to anyone’s knowledge, spent a dime on internal polling — used a push “poll” to fan the flames of anger against “the media” whom he blames for his dismal general election results. In my view, his campaign is likely using…

The Best Subject Line in the History of Political Fundraising
There it is. You cannot beat that, I promise. (Disclosure: I found it when digging through archived images. I had so many on my work computer that it messed up the hard drive. Thankfully, all backed up in Amazon Cloud Drive…)

The New Media Epidemic
The New Media Epidemic
Philadelphia This being the “new media” era and all, the Democratic Convention is replete with camera-toting journalists (I tote two) running around the conventional hall like shutterbugs at a rare animal exhibit. Fortunately, selfie sticks — a modern scourge whose time appears to be waning — have been banned from the secure convention zone. Whether the reason is security or practicality isn’t…

In Senate, Blackberry Era Officially Over
In Senate, Blackberry Era Officially Over
This is the way the world ends. Not with a clickity keyboard, but with a swipe. Senate staffers will no longer be issued official Blackberry smartphones. The reign of the Blackberry lasted a good decade or more in Congress, early on due to the advanced nature of the devices and obsession with email checking. Even when the iPhone and Androids came about, the Blackberry still kept the throne for…

Fictional 2016 Trump GOP Convention Agenda
Fictional 2016 Trump GOP Convention Agenda
Preparing for the upcoming GOP convention in my home town of Cleveland, a thought kept zinging through my head: What if Trump gets to 1,237 delegates before the Convention? Having worked the last two GOP conventions in Tampa and St. Paul, I had a hard time imagining what such a convention might be like… Given that much of the so-called GOP Establishment is not backing Trump. Who would stump for…

How Maryland Does its Distance Signs
How Maryland Does its Distance Signs
Since a few of you shared my interest in why Pennsylvania and Maryland have different distances to D.C. and Baltimore on their highway signs, I figured I would ask the Maryland State Highway Administration how they measure the distance, and how it might differ from PA’s method. Here’s what they sent me: Good Afternoon Mr. Swift: This email is in response to your question regarding how Maryland…

The Genius of Trump’s Language This analysis is some of the best I've seen on the genius that is Donald Trump's unconventional speaking style.
A Response from the Government
A Response from the Government
Driving back from St. Louis this Christmas, I finally bothered a government agency about something that had been bothering me: road signs. After Breezewood — a town that makes me want to bring back earmarks so it can be paved over into a normal interchange — there are signs listing the distance to Baltimore, and to Washington. The mileage on one sign, as I recall (though I was groggy) varies.…

Vogue Writer Discovers Facebook is Political
Vogue Writer Discovers Facebook is Political
The days of the year are dripping to a close and news outlets are trying to milk the slow news cycle for every available eyeball with year-end summary posts. Mostly, they’re recaps of who died or summaries of the news (like Google’s Zeitgeist, which seems to get more left-leaning politically every year.) Sometimes, however, they’re personal observations that turn into a naive 1,000 word…

What About the Browns?
What About the Browns?
The Browns snapped a seven game losing streak, yay! Johnny Manziel didn’t play terribly*, yay! (*I have stopped watching the Browns, so it have been all dumb fucking luck for all I know.) The narrative now, at least what I’ve seen on social media, is that Johnny is going to make an argument (on the field) for why we shouldn’t draft yet another quarterback. There are a few games left in this…

What I Saw at the Trump Rally
What I Saw at the Trump Rally
Over at the WEEKLY STANDARD, I have a piece on last night’s Donald Trump rally in Manassas. You can read the whole thing here, but here’s a brief excerpt. Manassas, Virginia Make no mistake: Donald Trump is running a serious, well-organized campaign. Wednesday night, it showed. I arrived at the Prince William County Fairgrounds last night for the Donald’s first big rally in the Washington metro…
