Those darn "Gothics!" They're always wanting to turn someone's skull into a "bong" for smoking "marihuana." (Not sure where the bowtie fits in.)
Former Bush Administration Secretary of Education Rod Paige's analysis of the "65 percent solution" is here.
I wonder if he has some kind of "signing statement" which allows him to ignore the Supreme Court?
Jonathan Alter, Newsweek columnist says in a searingly-worded column,any member of Congress who supports amending the Bill of Rights for the first time in the history of this country for a nonproblem like flag burning is showing serious disrespect for our Constitution and for the …
The fighting is right outside the Green Zone, but Cheney is throwing out his "last throes" garbage again, and the FBI is doing a great job in distracting the media with the capture of a bunch of inept terrorist-wannabes who were in "the planning stages." I'm in the planning stag …
I thought this was going to be a political story about how we've limited our national relationships with other nations, narrowed our circle of allies, and kept more of our consel to ourselves -- which actually is what this article says, come to think of it...
Remember how we won the War on Drugs with those fried egg ads? Well, now we're going to win the War on Terror with some new ads filled with cool special effects! Awesome!
I'm picturing Iraqi forces launching a chemical attack by releasing the contents of hundreds of cans of Pledge and Lysol in the desert. "Mushroom clouds?" Don't worry: Lysol kills all kinds of molds and fungus!
It's amazing the excuses these guys come up with: mistaken identity, I was in New York at the time, my wallet was stolen. So original. And so lame, considering that the cops watched from outside, ran license plates, pulled up driver license photos and matched faces with photos.
I foresee a trilogy: "Remote Control Wars" next, followed by the finale, "Clean the Catbox Wars." Then, of course, "Divorce Court."

Evano, besides having the best avatar of the lot of us, is among the elite members of Newsvine's intelligentsia (as opposed to those of us that use the word in our title for laughs). His insightful commentary is welcome in any article and his knack for discovering amazing content is a real asset to the 'Vine.

Evano keeps me honest, he is always ready to call me out on a poorly researched comment or mis-application of logic. This has been greatly appreciated, for it only serves to help make me a better writer and debater. We may not always agree, but we are always civil, and I have great respect for evano and his clever sheep.
Every so often he will take some time off from his frantic seeding pace and produce some of the most intelligent and thought-provoking articles on Newsvine.

Evano, I agree that there is water at the bottom of the ocean. I've always wondered, is that really you in your avatar? It looks like a professional headshot.
Anyways, I think Evano, Mr. Sheep as we call him around here, is one of our most productive contributors. He's often peppering the site with balanced and rational thought and seeds links like there's no tomorrow. It's pretty obvious from that top rung on the Vineacity meter.

Hi Evan, proud to be the first to leave a comment here. Since I don't have to recommend you to anyone, I'll just say that I like your writing, and I think there are so many things about you that are cool that I don't even know where to begin. But perhaps it is the born Jewish in Brooklyn gone agnostic writer in Baltimore thing you got going. Keep it up, and by all means, share more of your work with the world. I'm pretty sure it needs it.
