What’s In a Name? [Dan Collins]

A Greenwald of a different color on Reuters and the record. Reuters, the news agency with a policy forbidding the word “terrorist” from their stories and a penchant for printing doctored photos as evidence of Israeli aggression, has done it again. Yesterday, Reuters posted a story entitled “Sadr Expected to End Truce”, implying it was likely that Iraqi Shiite leader Muqtada al Sadr would end his Mahdi Army’s six-month ceasefire

Dems 2008: Omentum update [Karl]

Although it looked to me like the Wisconsin primary results confirmed an erosion in the Clinton coalition starting with the Potomac primaries, Jay Cost works his number-crunching magic and concludes that the erosion more likely starts in Wisconsin: I think this shift is hard to account for without hypothesizing a momentum effect. Consider the following. We know that the Hispanic population, Catholic population, and union population are important factors in

The McCain Scrutiny [Dan Collins]

Ask the Newsroom The McCain Article Published: February 21, 2008 A recent New York Times article examined a number of decisions by Senator John McCain that raised questions about his judgment over potential conflicts of interest. The article included reporting on Mr. McCain’s relationship with a female lobbyist whose clients often had business before the Senate committee led by Mr. McCain. Since publication of the article, The Times has received

Rick Ellensburg and all of his socks upset over House GOP video [Karl]

The latest unhinged outburst from the Internet’s most notorious sock-puppeteer is set off by a House GOP video entitled “America is at Risk,” which criticizes House Democrats for letting the Protect America Act expire: Impressively, the ad dramatically packs every component of GOP politics into one minute: There are dark, primitively omnipotent Arab Terrorists lurking darkly and menacingly, planning to slaughter you and your whole entire family right now. You have

Michelle Obama [Dan Collins]

I have to say that my life now is not really that much different from many of yours. I wake up every morning wondering how on earth I am going to pull off that next minor miracle to get through the day. I know that everybody in this room is going through this. That is the dilemma women face today. Every woman that I know, regardless of race, education, income,

National Intelligence Estimate [Dan Collins]

It appears that the national intelligence may be overestimated: New simulations carried out by European Union experts come to an alarming conclusion: Iran could have enough highly enriched uranium to build an atomic bomb by the end of this year.    Read the rest. UPDATE: More from Hot Air

TNR: Publication Capped “Intense Internal Deliberations” At The [Dan Collins]

NYT.  Publication capped “intense internal deliberations” at TNR. Unrelated: “I want you to picture Johansson,” McCormick writes in the Daily Telegraph, “curled up on a sofa in a subterranean studio, soft and gorgeous in a sort of indie pin-up way; long platinum blonde hair; huge, blue fawnish eyes; voluptuously indecent red lips; slender but curvaceous frame…”   At which point the reader might suspect a flattering review. Not the case, sadly.

Dems 2008: The Clinton disorganization [Karl]

Although it appears that Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign may be settling on a strategy of emphasizing her proposals to help the middle class and the perception that she is better qualified to be commander-in-chief than Sen. Barack Obama, two news articles further examine how disorganization has brought the Clinton campaign to the brink of oblivion. The L.A. Times reports on how strategist Mark Penn has fought Harold Ickes and other advisors over
