Nothing to See Here – Bring In Da Snark, Bring In Da Rant edition
Today’s batch of stuff you should be reading instead of this lousy blog… #
- I think this is the must frustrating, sickening, galling thing I’ve heard in years. Wouldn’t you think that after September 11, the CIA would beef up its anti-al Qaeda department? Au contraire, mon frere. (Brad DeLong)
- But, hey, let’s not be pessimists, people. (Talking Points Memo)
- As Atrios would say, Oy=.
- Oh, god help me but I do love the snark. Digby explains why we should listen to the analysts.
- And, oh, god help me but I do love it when a real writer rants. James Wolcott goes off on Richard Cohen.
- Dr. Cline thinks reporters should be a bit more skeptical. So should we all.
- I really think Greg at The Talent Show is on to something. Bush is trying to weasel out of a third debate. Greg has been calling the President chicken. (Weasel, chicken… what’s the diff?) I’m sure Kerry couldn’t flat out call the president chicken, but maybe there’s a politically acceptable way to point out that, for all his bluster, this President is, well, a scaredy-cat. He runs from debates, he won’t hold press conferences, he stocks his audience with dittoheads. If Kerry could find a way to call this guy out, I think we might see a little bit more movement in those polls.
- Unbelievable. Atrios alerts us to a guy who’s apparently staged getting assaulted for three straight presidential elections,
- Official US casualty figures can be found on this page at the DoD Press Resource website.
