Still keeping it slow around these parts while the Repatriation Roadtrip is underway (today- Indianapolis to some stretch of I-40 between Memphis and Little Rock), but I figure I ought to make a quick announcement.
Starting Tuesday, on TROUBL.ORG, I’ll be writing Down and Distance, a weekly column on America’s two current favorite contemporary sports- NFL football and Presidential politics. It should be the only football column where you can read about the failures of Friedmanite economics and enjoy references to both Nick Cave and Lupe Fiasco.
Check out the site in the meantime- I’m proud to be a part of it.

I finna read your posts on TROUBL for sure. I was never socialized into the football culture, so I’m at a disadvantage when it comes to football metaphors. The best I can do is baseball, so I’ll offer you this one (after hearing Obama’s speech tonight).
If Obama can get himself elected to the White House even with all the crap that is going to be flung at him, it would be as impressive as when Dock Ellis no-hit the Padres while tripping on acid. The very ugliness of the win will be beautiful.

No hitting a -Cub Scout Troop- on acid would be pretty impressive, let alone a pro team. Talk about an arm on automatic pilot.
