Anyone whose been to college has heard it more than once. Doooood, I got soooo drunk last night. Having attended four colleges, it’s a statement I’ve heard many a time, and even uttered once or twice. With the positive feedback to last week’s Obama Zombies video from The Onion, here’s another gem from America’s Finest […]

The contest started a couple weeks ago and runs until November 28. There will be ten winners, one for each […]

Not sure how this post will do but figured it’s worth a shot. The third floor of the triple decker house I live in in Dorchester, MA is up for rent. It’s a nice 3-4 bedroom 1250 square foot apartment in a really nice neighborhood and is for rent at a relatively cheap price. For […]

Dear Mr. Ralph Nader, As a citizen who believes in the importance of principles, values and beliefs, as a citizen who supported, promoted, and voted for you and Matt Gonzalez and as a citizen who loves this country but even more so loves this planet, I must make one request of you. If Barack Obama […]

Made a few changes on the blog yesterday to streamline it. Got rid of the tag cloud and recent posts widgets and two ads (from the footer and sidebar), moved the Google ads up a bit, and changed my homepage so that only one full post shows up with three excerpted posts below it. I […]

Wow, I heart The Onion. Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are That video literally forced tears of laughter to roll down my cheeks. The Onion was really on point this year and especially down the stretch. Comedic genius. Check out some of their other hilarious stories: Black Guy Asks […]

Photo credit to insunlight. Congratulations to President-elect Barack Obama! Though I voted for Nader-Gonzalez and encouraged others to do the same, I am not disappointed by Barack Obama winning the United States Presidency. Rather I think he’s a huge upgrade over Bush, purely by being intelligent, eloquent and charismatic. He ran an impressive campaign and […]

Recently I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about how to open up our political process and truly democratize it. When asked, many people believe that viable third party candidates (say those who can theoretically win) should be able to attend nationally televised debates and be covered by the mainstream press. In other words, the […]

No, you’re not seeing things, that title is correct. I, Adam Pieniazek, endorse Barack Obama. Now, that does not mean I will vote for him (tip of the hat to Stephen Colbert for this idea). Quite on the contrary, I will be voting for Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzalez. However, I realize that all my […]

So we discussed DoFollow earlier this week on The 42nd Estate’s blog (you are subscribed, aren’t you?) but just to spread the word a bit further, let’s check out what we learned. First up, DoFollow means links on a site get crawled by Google, thus giving the linkee a bit of a boost. Second, many […]
