Too bad.  One of the only worthwhile parts of Salon shuts down: The Blog Report The Blog Report closes its doors: Three years and 12,000 blog posts later, the Blog Report is no more – Regrettably, Salon.com has decided to close down the Blog Report, which I’ve been editing for more than two years, after inheriting the site from my friend Peter Daou. It’s been a pleasure highlighting content from the

Marc Ambinder blows the lid off the story that John McCain’s “biography tour” may have been Karl Rove’s idea.  This blockbuster info was supplied to him by his “G,” “a reliable man of integrity” who took notes when Rove spoke at the University of Pennsylvania on Feb. 20. Mind you, this was not some super-secret event.  Rove’s advice was printed in the school paper at the time.  He gave the same basic advice

Michael Goldfarb takes Amanda to the woodshed over this. Vintage happyfeet.

Amanda at ThinkProgress leads the blog buzz with her story of Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) belittling a US soldier in Iraq as a “two-bit security guard.”  The Leftosphere is on code red high dudgeon alert, mostly of the “imagine if a Democrat had said this” variety. One problem: it appears that the person McHenry called a security guard was in fact a security guard, not a soldier.  While it is possible that

Yesterday’s discussion of John McCain’s biography tour ended up containing a rather large musical digression, which revealed that I am not the only PW regular with a fondness for the late, lamented Beat Farmers and its equally late, lamented co-founder — the fantastic Country Dick Montana. To paraphrase Mae West, when this band was good it was very good — but when it was bad it was better.  Unfortunately, there seems to

Although the Boston Globe is overstating it as a “sign that John McCain is moving toward accepting public financing this fall,” he is clearly leaving the door open to it by returning about $3 million to general election contributors and asking them to write new checks to the campaign’s legal and accounting expense fund. The Globe, as well as outlets like TPM, imply that the move suggests McCain cannot compete with either of the Democratic

In his latest follow-up to Mukasey’s comments, Gleen(s) state the following: This morning I interviewed Kate Martin, the director of the Center for National Security Studies and one of the nation’s foremost surveillance experts. She pointed out that even prior to 9/11, the NSA commonly intercepted international communications into the U.S. and — in numerous, broadly defined circumstances — was authorized to disseminate what they learned to the FBI and

Krauthammer:  This invitation to move on, as it were, has been widely accepted. After the speech it became an article of faith that even referencing Wright’s comments was somehow illegitimate, the new “Swift-boating.” It is not just that Obama surrogate Rep. George Miller denounced the Clinton campaign for bringing up Wright when talking to superdelegates as trying to “work the low road.” You expect that from a campaign. Or that

Well, we all shine on, Pretty much, except for the evil Zionists . . . A site that I only know because they linked to us, named Crimes and Corruptions of the New World Order News, has a post called “Swindler’s List” that quotes an article from the Arabic Internet Media Network that poses the question: “Would the Zionists be open to become ordinary human beings like the rest of us?” Among
