Craft Beer of the Day – ‘Devil’s Milk’ by DuClaw Brewing Co.

November 30, 2011Erik Kain

In the picture below you’ll see that the alcohol content of DuClaw’s barley wine style ale, ‘Devil’s Milk, used to be 10.6% abv. Apparently it used to be available in tiny little 12 oz bottles as well. The 22 oz. bottle of Devil’s Milk that I drank the other night was a full 11% abv. […]

Chris Christie: The Drug War Has Failed

November 30, 2011Erik Kain

This is one reason I have a soft spot for the abrasive New Jersey governor. He’s basically just a brash, tough-talking moderate with a pretty good sense of certain issues I care about a lot – such as mass incarceration. His soft-spoken counterpart in Indiana, Mitch Daniels, is similarly savvy when it comes to our […]

Why are All TV Anti-Heroes Men?

November 29, 2011Erik Kain

Tony Soprano, Walter White, and a plethora of other men comprise the ranks of popular anti-hero dramas on today’s television sets. But where are the female anti-heroes? Alyssa Rosenberg picks up the too-much-ambition-in-TV thread that David Haglund started a while back (read my take here.) She thinks that it’s not so much a failure of […]

When Cluzee Met Siri

November 29, 2011Erik Kain

Cluzee is a new Android app designed to take on Apple’s Siri technology – a pseudo AI voice software that answers your questions about, well, just about anything. Scott Webster introduces us to Cluzee, the Android version of the same basic idea: I’ve spent some time with Cluzee and already appreciate the application for what […]

Ezra Klein and the Not-So-Blurry Line Between Journalism and Activism in Media 2.0

November 29, 2011Erik Kain

Much fuss and hullabaloo has been made over Ezra Klein lately who has, apparently, stepped outside of some abstract journalistic standards in order to play the part as activist. Here’s the Investor’s Business Daily: The problem here is not just that he blurs the lines between journalism and activism. It’s that the Post is perfectly […]

Should the Fed Bailout Europe?

November 29, 2011Erik Kain

If the ECB is truly crippled, incapable of playing its role as lender of last resort and unable to gaurantee European sovereign debt, what can be done? After all, as Burt Likko notes, a Eurozone failure would be a 1929-like disaster: epic in every sense of the word, hitting not just the Eurozone but the […]

Failed Eurozone Austerity Measures Show European Leaders Asleep at the Wheel

November 29, 2011Erik Kain

It’s impossible to say exactly what might happen if the Euro collapses. The death of one of the most important currencies in the global economy is too disastrous a scenario for any of us to wrap our brains around. Debate over what’s to be done to save Europe and waylay whatever short-term collapse is in […]

Herman Cain Reassesses Campaign as Newt Surges in the Polls

November 29, 2011Erik Kain

Republican candidate Hermain Cain told reporters Tuesday he was reassessing his campaign. Could the race come down to Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney? Herman Cain’s days as front runner in this oh-so-hectic of primary seasons are over, and it appears his candidacy may be in its last throes as well. I think it’s funny or […]

November 28, 2011Erik Kain

Two bills aim to lock down the internet with a host of new government censorship powers. Two bills are moving through the Senate and the House at the moment, aimed at creating a host of new controls and regulations over the internet, and threatening to change the way everybody does business and interacts online.
