Deep Underground with Raul Groom: 09/01/2004 - 10/01/2004

http://raulgroom.blogspot.com/2004_09_01_archive.html

Deep Underground with Raul Groom. Thursday, September 30, 2004. The excellent Juan Cole. Safire hilariously laments the erosion of the freedom of the press. Novak details the raging war between the Bush administration and the CIA, curiously omitting his own substantial role in firing the first shot of said war. I actually have a running debate with a guy in my office who thinks Bush is so bulletproof that even if Cheney's Chief of Staff is indicted in October, Bush will still win. Maybe he's right, b...

Deep Underground with Raul Groom. Wednesday, July 28, 2004. Well, in the midst of the most exciting political convention of my lifetime, I've become embroiled in a wonkish but nonetheless dire situation at work involving security breaches at government agencies and lots and lots of money. So I will be spending the next few days making sure that if shit happens to blow up in someone's face, it won't be the face attached to my head. Posted by RaulGroom at 8:13 PM. Monday, July 26, 2004. You know who's cool?

Deep Underground with Raul Groom: Bad Decisions

http://raulgroom.blogspot.com/2005/03/bad-decisions.html

Deep Underground with Raul Groom. Friday, March 18, 2005. There is an adage that bad decisions are usually based on bad information. I made the decision not to pick UAB to repeat as cinderella because of an injury to Ronnell Taylor, UAB's dynamic sixth man. Yesterday Ronnell played 18 minutes and scored 9 points. So he must be feeling better. Posted by RaulGroom at 4:57 PM. Blog of the Week. Washington, D.C., United States. Don't look now, but I'm right behind you, brandishing a corkscrew.

Deep Underground with Raul Groom. Friday, April 30, 2004. OK, here's my rundown of all the yammering and blathering and other inanity that went on in our vaunted free press this week. First, there's the very important story of what is being called the Fallujah agreement. Go ahead and read about it. No seriously, go read it. Get all the details. OK. Done? This is an agreement? I hate to sound like a broken record here, but what exactly is the plan in Iraq? Third, you should read Paul Krugman. Tuesday, Apr...

Deep Underground with Raul Groom. Tuesday, June 29, 2004. Many apologies to those who have visited the blog in recent days and found nothing new since my half-baked and mostly discredited electoral analysis hit the wire. I stand by my predictions, but there are enough contradictory polls out there to make me nervous, I'll admit. Posted by RaulGroom at 8:00 PM. Friday, June 25, 2004. Posted by RaulGroom at 7:17 PM. Virginia is in play. Say hello to John F. Kerry, your next President. That's the sound of m...

Deep Underground with Raul Groom. Friday, October 29, 2004. Well, to the credit of the mainstream media, they really didn't pick up the story about Bush's stupid doctored ad. There were some stories about it, but nobody turned it into a big deal. So even though it helps Bush, bravo to the MSM for avoiding this story, because it's really pretty trivial. On the other hand, I was a little disheartened that the Washington Post decided that 100,000 Civilian Deaths in Iraq. Posted by RaulGroom at 3:58 PM.

Deep Underground with Raul Groom. Friday, May 28, 2004. Actually, the correct Wil Wheaton link is here. However, the site seems to be down. But don't give up. You need to read Wil's blog daily. On an unintentional comedy scale from Mother Teresa to John Ashcroft, it rates at least a Samuel L. Jackson. Posted by RaulGroom at 2:38 PM. Wow, I've sunk to Wil Wheaton. Posted by RaulGroom at 1:50 PM. Thursday, May 27, 2004. By simply dropping every single other story whenever the White House puts out a major t...

Deep Underground with Raul Groom: Return of the Groom

http://raulgroom.blogspot.com/2005/08/return-of-groom.html

Deep Underground with Raul Groom. Tuesday, August 02, 2005. Return of the Groom. Due to overwhelming popular demand, I have unretired. The political stuff is being ably handled by my IRL avatar, freeing me up to talk about what really makes Raul Groom tick - gambling. Or, in this case, fake gambling. That I'm making the mistake. The other day I was playing some No Limit Hold 'em and I was holding a pair of sevens, which is usually a pretty good money hand for me. I had called pre-flop and three other...

Off on the wrong foot :. Some kind of awkward journey. Wednesday, October 12, 2005. Man, the new iPod. Looks so cool. mine is a few years old now, it's getting full, and the battery is wearing out. (yeah, i qualified for the class action settlement, but i didn't have my receipt.) m. And i just treated ourselves to a couple of new, fully-loaded laptops. And i think that i will have to upgrade my favorite peripheral just to keep in step with m's new toys. At 10/12/2005 02:21:00 PM. Personal stuff .:.

Off on the wrong foot :. Some kind of awkward journey. Friday, October 21, 2005. I haven't had much coherent stuff to post this week. i've been a little bit under the weather. m was in a car accident on tuesday (he's okay and it wasn't his fault, but the crossfire needs much repair). and now it's raining. But on some more positive notes, i finally got the clap your hands and say yeah. Also, on the "geek" front, m and i received our shiny new alienware notebooks. I stopped there to pick up lunch today&#46...
