About me


I'm Brendan Loy, a 26-year-old graduate of USC and Notre Dame now living and working in Knoxville, Tennessee. My wife Becky and I are brand-new parents of a beautiful baby girl, born on New Year's Eve.

I'm a big-time sports fan, a politics, media & law junkie, an astronomy buff, a weather nerd, an Apple aficionado, a Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter fanatic, and an all-around dork. My blog is best-known for its coverage of Hurricane Katrina, but I blog about anything and everything that interests me.

Recipe request

By Rebecca Loy

Brendan and I enjoyed a spinach and chicken pie the other night and I have a bunch of leftover phyllo dough. Anyone have a good recipe that uses phyllo? Extra credit if it includes curry!

Unmitigated gall 101

By Brendan Loy

Heh: "There is one theme, however, that runs through not-for-attribution conversations with both sides [in the Clinton-Obama race]: Each candidate thinks the other has unmitigated gall."

NCAA demonstrates common sense; Hell freezes over

By Brendan Loy

Remember Barack Obama's pick-up game with the North Carolina Tar Heels? Well, technically speaking, it violated NCAA rules. But for once, the NCAA is taking a sensible line: "This was a unique situation and not an NCAA issue," said a spokesman. "It certainly was a great opportunity for the student-athletes to interact with a presidential candidate."

Happy May Day!

By Brendan Loy

In honor of May Day, Sen. Joe Lieberman would like to remind you that it's a "good question" whether Barack Obama is spending today contemplating the plight of the proletariat and listening to songs like this:

In other news, Pajamas Media asked me to elaborate on my Obama/Wright post in an article for their site, so I did. It's not my best work, and both liberals and conservatives will find plenty to dislike in it. But I hope it's at least food for thought.
