More Hemorrhaging at the RNC

The latest victum? 33 year veteran and chief financial officer Jay Bannin:
RNC chief financial officer Jay Banning, who has been with the committee for 33 years, is resigning. No reason for the resignation was given.

Google Not Giving In?

Is Google growing a spine?
Well, as much as I’m skeptical that Google won’t eventually cave to China’s censorship of YouTube, this recent tweet from Google highlighting a recent scathing anti-chinese-censorship of YouTube statement by GNI is a sign of hope (click to enlarge):

Songs of the Month

This month’s post is dedicated to one band. Cartel.

I’ll post [...]

Yup. That’s right, our fearless semi-leader could be ousted from the RNC soon. If you believe the rumors (H/T AOL):

This is how Tommy characterized what happened thereafter:
What’s interesting is how [...]
