Being a follow-up to Karl’s excellent post from earlier today, involving the other PW.  It’s an outrage, he tells ya!  Temerity!  As if!! Glenn Greenwald, who established himself as one of the leading leftie bloggers in the blink of an eye, is building a body of substantial published work almost as quickly. Crown is about to publish his new book, Great American Hypocrites: Toppling the Big Myths of Republican Politics, and

Yes, the fact that Obama campaign event coordinators at Carnegie Mellon University were demanding, “Get me more white people, we need more white people” to sit behind Michelle Obama yesterday suggests that Barack Obama thinks he needs to court the white vote in Pennsylvania.

Disgruntled Congressional Staffer: “I saw him eat a baby!” Lamarckians at the NYT: Maybe it will grow legs this time?

I’m particularly interested in Courtney (or is it Courtenay?), Comox Valley BC, round about 115 5th Street. Guy who teaches some kind of martial art there wants to smack me around a little. I think he might be part of the Cobra Kai. — Which would mean I need to find me a little Okinawan man who wants his fence painted and his cars waxed, and is willing to pay

The Washington Post’s Ellen Nakashima is sure to give the nutroots the vapors with this one: When FBI investigators probing New York prostitution rings, Boston organized crime or potential terrorist plots anywhere want access to a suspect’s telephone contacts, technicians at a telecommunications carrier served with a government order can, with the click of a mouse, instantly transfer key data along a computer circuit to an FBI technology office in
