totally into Meghan McCain? (h/t Hot Air) Here’s the most recent post from her website: Chelsea Clinton on Monica Lewinsky Bet it’s a P-Shop.

Talking back to mis-heard lyrics ii [cranky-d]

“Hey, hey, hey (hey, hey, hey), I was Barney Rubble. Down in Dixie, (hey, hey, hey), on a Sunday mornin’.” I think I get it. This is some kind of “fish out of water” thing, right?

Dems 2008: Demolition soap opera [Karl]

On Monday, Marc Ambinder made an observation about the establishment media (though largely valid as to bloggers also) that is by no means novel, but nonetheless worth considering at this juncture in the Democratic campaign: It’s true that editors like to find the point of conflict in a particular narrative and then base their coverage around that conflict as if it were the narrative itself.
