Believe It!!

Atrios says he can't believe the story about Mark Penn in this Time article. I can. Mark Penn is not a Democrat. He is an opportunist. Secondly, look at the stupid logic Hillary Clinton was using yesterday. She whined that if the Democrats used the Republican rules that she would be the nominee by now. It must be a sign of campaign fatigue that made Atrios miss Clinton's whine yesterday. If he watched it, he wouldn't have been surprised at all that Penn could be so dumb.

Please Read The Letter

I found this Tuesday night. The song was playing on some TV show(don't ask me which one). Much to my surprise, Robert Plant is a part of it(I am a big Led Zeppelin fan). It is Robert Plant and Alison Krauss singing, "Please Read The Letter". It was written by Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Charlie Jones and Michael Lee. Enjoy:

Madden 09

This is kind of funny. I know all about the "Madden curse". Regardless, I am sure all the active NFL'ers are breathing a big sigh of relief right now.

Generation Squeeb

I recommend this column by Matt Taibbi. It talks about how stupid our public discourse is(thanks to the TradMed*).






* TradMed = Traditional media for those that don't know.

Character

Yves Smith wrote a great article that sums up what's wrong with the US financial system today. It's what happens when greed rules.

Why Americans Hate the Media

In light of Tim Russert's(aka Timmeh!! or Teh Big Punkinhead) performance last night during the Democratic debate I felt the urge to post about a column I read earlier today. It is twelve years old. James Fallows wrote it and you can find it here. It is as true today as it was when Fallows originally wrote it.

Happy Anniversary!!
