Of course Atrios is generally good at cutting quips - but this one is particularly good. And sadly, he's got a point about Big Media treading lightly around McCain's (often factually impaired) comments of late....

From AAW, the ripples from the US Attorney scandal keep on going. This time, a blogger suspects he was fired (without warning or stated cause) for stirring the pot in Alabama: The abrupt dismissal of a veteran University of Alabama...

From a comment thread discussion about NG subscribers: NG has a lot of features that attract compulsive hoarders. They are pretty. They carry some status. You can spend time sorting and displaying them. [whistles a happy tune and keeps moving]...

Okay, so it is now almost the middle of the middle day in Spring Break. So I think the three of us are go on something of a blogging hiatus for the rest of the week. Sadly none of us...

The other day I had a conversation with Baltar about the threads at Balloon Juice, and whether I normally took the time to read them, because he doesn't. These days, I skip reading most blogs, not just the comment threads,...

As you may have noticed, there are some changes to the blogroll, several additions and a few deletions. I wish I could be a more ruthless pruner, but did manage to get rid of a few. Somehow I still can't...

Just an informational post: I found this website which is keeping track of a whole mess of "best of 2007" lists. Everything from books to music to architecture to stereo components. It's a work-in-progress, so new stuff gets added all...

Via Instaputz (nice name, by the way), we get this marvelous comparison (at GatewayPundit): So, lefty bloggers swear about nineteen times as much as righty bloggers. We're such fucking potty-mouths! In case anyone cares, this isn't a valid comparison. The...

We don't engage in wholesale conservative bashing here, though we do indulge ourselves every now and again. This is one of those times. Via Pharyngula, we discover Conservapedia, the wiki that removes the liberal bias that infests Wikipedia. Huh? While...

On the whole fake outrage Amanda-gate situation, I am watching what the Edwards campaign does in response to the wingnuts' pressure. Campaigns that hire bloggers should know the blogger's work, and be prepared to stand by the employee. A campaign...
