At some point I'll redirect this site to there, and eventually host it on SteveSilver.net.

Thank you all for reading during the Movable Type years.

I heard Mark Levin say on the radio last night that if we give illegal immigrants amnesty, eventually they'll get citizenship and the vote. In "Lincoln," one of the Confederate politicians makes the exact same argument about slaves.

“Ohio really did go to President Obama last night. And he really did win. And he really was born in Hawaii. And he really is legitimately President of the United States. Again. And the Bureau of Labor Statistics did not make up a fake unemployment rate last month. And the Congressional Research Service really can find no evidence that cutting taxes on rich people grows the economy. And the polls were not skewed to oversample Democrats. And Nate Silver was not making up fake projections about the election to make conservatives feel bad. Nate Silver was doing math. And climate change is real. And rape really does cause pregnancy sometimes. And evolution is a thing! And Benghazi was an attack ON us, it was not a scandal BY us. And nobody is taking away anyone’s guns. And taxes have not gone up. And the deficit is dropping, actually. And Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction. And the moon landing was real. And FEMA is not building concentration camps. And UN election observers are not taking over Texas. And moderate reforms of the regulations on the insurance industry and the financial services industry in this country are not the same thing as Communism.

Same-sex marriage was on the ballot in four states, and won in all four, and I'm immensely proud that the state of my birth, Minnesota, became the first in the nation to vote to reject a constitutional marriage amendment.

All three Republican Senate candidates who said disgraceful things about rape went down to defeat. And the Tea Party was exposed for what it's always been: Republican extremism by another name, whose primary effect on politics has been the nomination of a parade of clowns going down to easy defeat.

The pollsters and pundits I trust were right and the ones I distrust were wrong. And the racists, the reactionaries and the idiots who have spent the past four years frothing at the mouth over Barack Obama being president were handed a decisive verdict: You're wrong, you're from the past, and the America you long for is gone and never, ever coming back.

Here's my Philly Post column about the election, one that was really four years in the making.

One more thought: Barack Obama was president when both of my sons were born. He's probably the first famous person my older son ever recognized on TV, and my younger son was with me in the voting booth. That Obama will be president for four more years, and will almost certainly be the first president my children remember, is something of which I'm immensely grateful.

Hey everyone- I feel bad that I've been neglecting this blog of late, but I've been very busy lately with work as well as family obligations. Here's a roundup of recent writings from throughout the web:

- First, and best of all, is the latest blog post from my sons Noah and Jonah, detailing their summer travels and adventures.

- At Dealerscope, a new electronics retail crime roundup from earlier this week.

- EntertainmentTell has been going now for almost six months, our audience is steadily growing, and I'm having a blast doing it. I've written quite a few essays lately, on such topics as: The Politics of Hollywood, Napster and Other Forgotten College Pursuits, Mitt Romney and Guy Smiley and, today, how "Deadwood" helped me lose weight.

- Over at our sister site Appletell, I wrote an essay on why the iPhone won't save the U.S. economy, which also ran as my column in the new issue of Tell magazine. And here's a link roundup about "Breaking Bad."

- Back on E-Tell, there have been lots of reviews of movies: "Taken 2," "Bernie," "The Words," "Bachelorette," "Oslo August 31st," "Lawless," "The Master," "Hit & Run," "Sleepwalk With Me," and "Looper." As always, you can see all my reviews over at my Rotten Tomatoes page.

- I'm also still writing every week at Philadelphia magazine's Philly Post. Recent column topics have included President Obama's alleged plot to ban suburbia, how that transgendered prison inmate is conservatives' worst nightmare, who the Republicans might blame if Obama wins whether Pennsylvania still matters in national politics and the laughability of Unskewedpolls.

- I've got a couple of other new things cooking, and one of these months I'll finally switch this blog over to Wordpress. In the meantime, thanks for checking in.

Here's a new blog post with the boys.

Here's a look at electronics retail crime.

At Philly Post, I argue that an East Coast loudmouth cannot become president, and that the Phillies did everything fans wanted them to do, and look where it got them.

And at the movies, I review "Ruby Sparks" and "Total Recall." Check out all of EntertainmentTell here.

On E-Tell, I review "The Watch" and write an essay about why you shouldn't take your kids to "The Dark Knight Rises."

Follow E-Tell on Twitter.

This past week was the biggest yet for EntertainmentTell, so thanks everyone for reading. Here are some highlights:

- A piece of mine about the idea that Skyler on "Breaking Bad" and other females on cable dramas are bitches got a huge response and was even linked by Slate.

- My thoughts on the Daniel Tosh/rape joke controversy.

- I look back at what MInnesota music has meant to me, including The Hold Steady, Soul Asylum and the Replacements.

- A pet peeve about "The Newsroom."

- A review of The Cigarette Smoking Man's autobiography.

- Movie reviews: "The Dark Knight Rises," "The Amazing Spider-man," "Magic Mike" and my mid-year movie report card.

- I've been waiting years for this, but the Jewish summer camp sport Gaga has finally broken through in the mainstream! The New York Times has more. I think I need to find an adult Gaga league to join.

- The Classical looks at John Rocker's latest career nadir, as a World Net Daily columnist.

- Drew Magary's been on a roll lately at Deadspin/Gawker, I especially liked his shot at Matt Millen the day of the Freeh Report.

- Fortune had a must-read piece about how most of what is known about the Fast and Furious scandal is wrong.

- Sally Jenkins, the last journalist to interview Joe Paterno, absolutely eviscerated him for lying to her in a column the day after the release of the Freeh Report.

- Alex Pareene, who's just been killing it lately over at Salon, gives an overview of the the Brett Kimberlin vs. right-wing bloggers melee.

- The area blocks from my office was home to David Lynch in the '70s, inspired him to make "Eraserhead," and is even known as "The Eraserhood," Philadelphia Weekly wrote.

- Balloon Juice is right: this election is the ugliest election ever, because all of them are.

A whole lot of stuff from the past two weeks:

The boys have a new blog post about their trip to Minnesota, and I wrote about their first baseball game together at the Philly Post. Also at Philly Post, I look at the double standard between Jerry Sandusky and Roman Polanski.

A lot of new stuff at ETell too- an essay about the anniversary of Michael Jackson's death, and reviews of "Brave" and "Magic Mike."

Over at Gadgetell, I review a new iLuv Android dock. Here's all my recent bylines at the Tell sites.

And over on the CTPG sites, this week I was the editor of the CE Week Daily newsletter, covering CE Week in New York. Here it is.

Lots of stuff published this week. Here we go:

- First and best of all, Noah and Jonah's new blog post.

- On the Philly Post this week, I look into whether or not Cole Hamels will stay with the Phillies.

- Here's my column from the current issue of Tell Magazine, which got picked up by AppleTell and for some reason got more page views than anything I've written in months: "There is No iPhone 5."

On EntertainmentTell, a whole lot of stuff:
- I review Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom"

- There's a lot more: The full site here, my articles here, and if you haven't yet, follow EntertainmentTell on Twitter.

And finally, I was out in Los Angeles for two days this week visiting Sony Pictures and their new Digital Motion Picture Center. Here's a talk with the CEO of Sony Electronics, here's a slideshow of the facility, and here's an article about the center.
