Reality strikes Fox News
I’m sure this is what Fox News meant to use as their caption: With apologies to Crooks and Liars. UPDATE: Dems win the Senate vote on the withdrawal language.

YearlyKOS Friday
Well I’m cranky cause the feed for the science panel is not working and I wanted to see that panel. AAR has the feeds mixed just as they did last night, and are also only showing two of the three panels. Grrr… Some of the panels, and the lunch address, will be show on C-Span3. Try the link if you don’t get that channel locally. More later. They better have things working for the CIA Leak panel. UPDATE: The science panel is showing now on the Room 3 feed, but it keeps breaking up and the video is bad. UPDATE: … Continue reading →
Tony Snow: Beats Workin’
It’s true enough that the jokes about Tony Snow are just gonna write themselves. Good times ahead, I’m sure. But the best thing I learned today is that Tony Snow is in a rock band, named Beats Workin’. This guy must be a hoot in real life. What do you get when you combine four lawyers, a realtor, a business executive, and a radio and TV political commentator, some oldies, a dance-crazy crowd, and a whole lot of fun? We’re not sure, but we know it… ….Beats Workin’

CNN just reported that they’ve received a restraining order, allowing them access to anything they want to cover. No government agency is going to hide things from them without a fight!

Amid all the bad news from Iraq and the economy, one piece of really good news reached me today. Apparently the media are starting to notice that Bush is a very unpopular President, and most people dislike nearly all of his programs. Now that’s being reality-based! Way to go, MSM.

You know, one thing that still burns me about this forgery story is that the underlying story was correct, but no one seems to care. And really, the underlying truth of how Bush evaded his military duty is the most important issue of it all. The secretary who typed up memos for Killian said she hadn’t typed these particular memos, but that she had typed some that said the same things in different words. That fact is always glossed over by the fanatical right-wingers who would defend Bush to the death (as long as its not their own), and who … Continue reading →
Yet another episode of paid propaganda
Salon has the scoop.

This is amusing, but really, what’s one more?

I’ve spent the entire day trying to rip off my DVD of last night’s episode of Bill Moyer’s NOW, which was on media consolidation, and how the right wing has used the media. It’s essential watching, and it’s not available on PBS’s site, nor will it be rerun any time soon. So even though I’ve never done this before, I burned it to DVD from my TiVO and then after a laughably long time finally got it into an MPG file. Unfortunately the file ended up as 594 megs, and I don’t have that kind of bandwidth. So I’m still … Continue reading →
