low ebb

some odd national poll results over at talking points. almost looks like nader is taking votes away from the republicans among likely voters. it would be quite humorous if the republican efforts to use nader against democrats came back to bite them in the electoral college.

no dupes we

the media must be suffering from all sorts of dissonance over the soon to be released kitty kelly tome. theyre trained to get frothy over inconsequential prurient behavior but not when its from a republican, much less one who is a sitting president. check out this laughline from media notes. just like the swifties, right? oh, but you were chasten, no doubt.

"ABC spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said the book "obviously would be subjected to serious scrutiny" before the network reported the allegations, "and if we had the author on we would ask her very probing questions." CBS has not booked Kelley. She is tentatively scheduled to appear on CNN's "American Morning" and "NewsNight With Aaron Brown."

blogs save mankind

"Pho’s oasis is his Web log (www.kevinmd.com/blog), a place to express his opinions, clarify his thinking, or argue a side in any number of debates on current medical topics.

It is also part of a small, but growing, trend: medical blogs where doctors or other health care professionals vent their frustrations, summarize key points in new studies, or correct distortions that find their way into the popular media."

"Al Gore and Joel Hyatt's dream of the television news network for young people moved a step closer to reality this week with the launch of the company's Website, indtv.tv."

go to the remote

always odd to see a name that is too familiar to go unnoticed. one of this weblogs proprietors lived on my floor one year in college. my only recollection of him is that he won a trip to jamaica on mtv's first gameshow, Remote Control -- think oversized chairs, college sweatshirts and Van Halen videos. the only reason i remember this, at all, is that i, too, was selected to be on the show, but was unable to because i had a final exam on the day they wanted me to be in new york for the taping. that i didnt think to ask if other days were available is surely one of my lesser failures of imagination. i can at least take solace in the knowledge that ive avoided years of acknowledging that i had actually met colin quinn. but sadly i cant deny that this cd was worn out while this had yet to breach the perimeters of my perceptions.

"Whoa...so Roger Simon is also a liberal lefty academic writing sarcasm?

Any chance Instapundit and Little Green Footballs have been doing likewise?

I think it's all up for grabs now, PZ. And if I can put in a plug for my day job, I just want to point out that this is one of the reasons deconstruction caught on among us literary types 25-30 years ago-- because the relationships among "originals," "imitations," and "parodies" really are this damn complicated.

I thought Roger Simon was the last honest Democrat?

competency test

"The voting public long ago lost most of its faith in Bush; to reinforce that loss of faith it is necessary to tell a story about the Bush presidency, one that rings true, makes sense, and gives people an explanation for their personal and economic anxiety. The basic premise of that story must involve a failure of leadership, and that failure is a story of incompetence."
