There are a lot of people out there thinking of Japan this week, so I will post some of my shots not related to the current disaster.

It seems that there was coverage of "The Cove"'s Oscar win. Terrible, awful, stupid, biased coverage.

For the time being I've decided to become a pushy, one-issue, diarist.

I appealed to you last week in an attempt to block conservatives from claiming a foothold in the booming world of mixed martial arts (MMA) It is a trivial issue in principle but huge in potential gains. Unfortunately, ladies and gentleman, we have been beaten to the punch.

Listen to me speak the word!

Not that he isn’t doing a good enough job already, but we have a secret weapon with which to torpedo the McCain candidacy among a potent demographic; men ages 18-35.

It may be petty, but language being important, I feel a need to correct the course of a slight misnomer. The terms "political jiu-jitsu" or occasionally "political judo" keep getting thrown around (no pun intended) as a means of using one's opponent's strengths against them. I think the term that is more accurate would be "political aikido." Aikido is the martial art which uses one's opponent's strength and momentum against them. Jiu-jitsu allows a skilled practitioner to negate an opponent's strength through skill and technique. Judo is simply a sport form of jiu-jitsu that allowed for scoring and competition(a simple description, I know). Again, these seem like petty discrepancies but using them correctly allows for a richer lexicon with which to make subtle differentiations. Read More
