I watched much of last night’s Daily Show, making my way through five minutes of douche extraordinnaire Jon Stewart’s Bush impressions to find a pretty good segment by one of their fake reporters. The segment focused on whether or not the U.S. is ready for a black president.
They used a “Negrometer” to show just how […]
A Democratic Congressman named Brian Baird (from Washington) converted from (or to?) the Dark Side of the Force when he apparently visited Iraq and became convinced the surge is working. A man who was more anti-War than Hillary Clinton in 2002 (voted against the resolution) recently said this:
As a Democrat who voted against the war […]
I caught a little bit of John McCain’s appearance on Jay Leno last night. Maybe my first thought shouldn’t have been “wow, what an old fogey,” because I quickly turned on something else. In doing so, I missed a couple of interesting self-jabs that McCain dished out:
“We are doing so poorly I thought maybe I […]
I didn’t want to write a sports story today, but this one is just too good not to talk about. Peter King, Sports Illustrated’s content-provider extraordinnaire, put together his list of the top 500 players in the NFL. Not top 10, 25, 50, or even 100 - 500!
Although he weighs position as having importance (QBs, […]
As my regular readers probably noticed, the site was down for about half the day today. I recently switched to a new credit card number, and the automatic billing got screwed up. BipolarNation is back and fresh as a daisy now. Our apologies!

To say the least, the details of the Michael Vick dogfighting case were shocking and profoundly disheartening to hear. That anyone can seriously conceive of the idea of actually hanging or electrocuting dogs was disturbing in and of itself, let alone that an NFL star would actually be reckless enough to help carry it out.
But […]
Today’s already been an insane day for news, and it’s only noon.
Alberto Gonzales Quits
As Aaron has already posted, Alberto Gonzales it outta here effective September 17th. What’s interesting here is the total polar opposite positions on him. Dubya says that Gonzales was an awesome public servant who only resigned because he was a distraction, and […]
U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has announced today that he is resigning. The announcement comes just a few weeks after President Bush’s chief advisor, Karl Rove, announced he was leaving the White House. According to various news sources, President Bush has current Homeland Security Secretary, Michael Chertoff, in mind for the position of Attorney General.
Your […]
A few days ago, the second edition of my book, Beyond Majors and G.P.A.: A Real Philosophy for College and the World Ahead, was published by iUniverse.
I’d like to extend thanks to BipolarNation’s chieftain, Dan Kenitz, for the new Foreword he contributed to the book; to Amy Simmert, who took time out of her busy schedule […]
Scientists have discovered that you can trigger Out-of-Body experiences:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6960612.stm
This got me to thinking about the ramifications of scientifically explaining something as mystical as out-of-body-experiences. The article isn’t exactly the most conclusive piece of evidence ever (just because you can trigger one doesn’t really mean anything, does it?).
They say about 1 in 10 people have out-of-body […]
