Quick week in review
Last week, I got linked to first by atrios at Eschaton, then I got linked by Scott Rosenberg.  I got 12 comments last week, and I don't have time right now to try to reply to them.

In terms of readership, I got 973 hits last week and overall, I am 20th on the Salon blog list with 2,620 page reads.

The Houston Chronicle Sucks!
I was down in Houston this weekend and I must say that the A section (the front page and the rest of the first section of pages) is the worst I have ever seen in a newspaper. About 80% of it is ads. There is far too many small articles or briefs and not enough real articles. It only takes 10 minutes to read the whole thing cover-to-cover. This front page story on the task force members probing Enron is a total fluff piece with lots of details about the background of the three lead task force members (which I don't really care about) and very little about the progress the task force has made on Enron (which I care about).

What's wrong with this picture?
From msnbc.com:
PRESIDENT MISSTATES ‘FACTS’
In his meeting with Blair, Bush cited a satellite photograph and a report by the U.N. atomic energy agency as evidence of Iraq’s impending rearmament. However, in response to a report by NBC News, a senior administration official acknowledged Saturday night that the U.N. report drew no such conclusion, and a spokesman for the U.N. agency said the photograph had been misinterpreted.

One president lies about having sex and he is ripped in editorials and impeached.

Another president lies in an attempt to start a war and it is buried in the middle of the news story.
