How very clever! The W. House, like "Dubya", get it? But before you get too excited about this, remember these are the same media that that sold you this war like cornflakes just months ago with "Boom-bah! BOOM-bah! Boom-Boom-BOOM-bah" background music, stock night vision explosions, and Saddam firing his rifle - and they did it without asking any questions. The ratings battle for 24-hour coverage was between a shrunken Turner and an empowered Murdoch. It had nothing to do with anything else, and if you bought into either side it's time to stop and think. Michael Powell tried to get Murdoch's foot in the door an AM radio, today Fox announces they will be "competing" there. This is a scripted "crisis" - these guys have the formula down from Hollywood for a million more Terminator scripts; You'll tremble, you'll shake, you'll cheer for the hero, you'll boo the villain, you'll cry when you win and when you lose - but when it's all over, it's just a show. There is no bread, so we have to have circuses. The plot here is cheap - the "W" House will redeem itself in time for a 2004 October surprise and we'll all laugh and cry some more. This is all bullshit. 9:28:48 PM    comment []

Condi adopts the Schultz Defense "I know nothing of any such White House effort to reveal any of this, and it certainly would not be the way that the president would expect his White House to operate," she told Fox News Sunday. 8:37:07 PM    comment []

Ah. Nothing like an eleven-hour day at work to straighten out your head and put your focus on the really important things. Not “things in life” – life is a canvas and a single day is but <obscene giggle> a corner of the palette. Nailed down the root cause of a problem today that doesn’t really matter to anyone but me, a computer problem, and all I contributed was tenacity, not a bit of intelligence or wit. I got by with a little help from my friends. Maybe next time I can help them out. Meanwhile, I thank them. The color on that corner is happy pink. From work, hooda thunkit? 8:19:41 PM    comment []

Know Thy Enemy, know thyself "He has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction." - Colin Powell, Feb. 24, 2001 Read last Friday's Joe. <cue Dragnet theme> Administration officials are pointing out "but then 9/11 happened" (on which day, you may recall, Saudi Arabia attacked the US and apparently, simultaneously, used sorcery - which is punishable by death there - to conjure up oodles of WMDs in Iraq, which they subsequently caused to vanish into smoky "programs" after the US mistakenly attacked Iraq in retaliation). 6:20:57 AM    comment []

Headline count on the Wilson leak Fronted at: The WaPo, USA Today, and The Independent (with the headline “Bush officials who leaked name of US spy 'for revenge' could face jail”). Ignored at: The Chicago Tribune (who can blame them - the Cubs won the NL Central to take the lede), The Los Angeles Times, and the NYT.   (If you are wondering why the boldface on that second line, it's because this software refuses to do it any other way. After 4 attempts to fix it by turning off bodface on the original Word document, I just said the hell with it)     5:54:47 AM    comment []

Beneath the Fold But the recently emasculated BBC is still on the frog-walk story. Wonder if they'll catch a Rabid Wolf Spider in their headlamp's beams? I hate those things, they'll jump up at you. First time I saw one, I tried to slide a piece of paper under it so I could throw it out the door. It jumped right up in my face and I dman near peed myself. Microseconds later, I flattened that sumbitch. 12:25:07 AM    comment []
