This 'n' That

Steve Benen looks at bias in AP reporting which reminded me of this report I heard on NPR and I remember thinking that it sure sounded like it came straight from McCain's campaign. I mean, fergawdsakes, look who they quote toward the end: The American Enterprise Institute! Hello?

Meanwhile, hilzoy points us to this Rolling Stone article on Obama's managing style, which is - dare I say it? - hopeful (the article, not his managing style). It is a good article but I'm having difficulty reconciling the points it makes with Obama's cave-in on FISA which, to me, reeks of standard beltway mentality.

And speaking of FISA, here's Greenwald doing what he does best.

And TBogg agrees to follow a train(wreck) of thought and finds an interesting comparison.

Finally, don't you all agree that heydave has been looking a little peaked lately? I've prescribed some more medicine.

Goldberg's Real Patriotism Problem

AL spells it out for us.

Aaaiiiieeeeeeeee........!!

Be sure you are sitting down and have swallowed any spewable liquids before you read this!

Mr. Reed's Opus

Not to be missed!

Just wonderin'

On my way into work this morning, I passed our town's animal shelter that has a sign outside - like the kind you see in front of some churches - that said: Man is Dog's idea of what God is. That thought made me really, really sad and then I thought, Do you suppose Man has it as wrong as Dogs do?
