Woolsey and the “Jacksonians”

From little green footballs’ Charles Johnson yet again (this guy’s better in the mideast than CNN). A Jewish Post interview with James Woolsey. A must read.

Ted Rall, Dickhead Gnome Banger

My younger sister’s second grade “media” report (I remember when teachers wanted you to read books) on Ted Rall’s most recent comic strip. (Okay, okay, so it took some prompting.) The report is reprinted here in its entirety: Ted Rall draws pictures. They are cartoons but they are not so funny I don’t think. Scooby Doo is a funny dog and he is a cartoon also. My friend Trevor makes

Still, like Augustine penning his confessions, Jay spends a good chunk o’ space poring over incriminating spots of time, folksy patches from a Lefty past… Me? Rightward? Yipe.

Andrew Hofer links to audio of a New School event in Greenwich Village, which featured journalists from the New York Times, Al-Jazeera, The Weekly Standard, and Harper’s. Part of Andrew’s humorous summary: […Y]ou will find Al Jazeera and New York Times journalists bemoaning the ignorance of Americans, objecting to the use of the flag, etc., and calling it ‘censorship’. You will also hear the Greenwich Village audience clapping enthusiastically for
