(From the diaries -- kos) I posted a shorter version of this list yesterday and was asked to expand and repost it. What do we know about Sarah Palin? She's a popular governor with some mixed history of standing up to Alaskan Republicans and big oil. In the next few days we will hear a lot about her "soccer mom" lifestyle and "Miss Congeniality" awards. We'll hear about her DRILL DRILL DRILL mentality to solving ...

(From the diaries -- kos) In case you're wondering why The Associated Press is so zealously defensive about people saying newspapers don't need them, it's because newspapers don't need them. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune is the latest paper to cancel AP service. In Washington, The Spokesman Review of Spokane canceled around the same time that The Bakersfield Californian cut ties. Several smaller newspapers have joined in. In Ohio, eight of the top newspapers, including The Cleveland ...

(From the diaries. SusanG) Amy Silverman knows her subject. She writes, I've been a writer and editor at [the Phoenix] New Times for 15 years. For much of that time, I wrote about Arizona politics, which is to say that I wrote about John McCain. It's still odd to see the guy in the spotlight, because for quite a while, I was pretty much the only one covering him. I never did fall for him ...

[Promoted by DHinMI] SoonerG already has a good diary that points out aptly and astutely that John McCain's latest web attack ad is really a not too subtle code to the Christian Right Wing that Barack Obama is the literal Anti-Christ as foretold in the Book of Revelations and popularized in "non-fiction" books like "The Late Great Planet Earth" and Tim LaHaye's "Left Behind" novels. Well, as if we needed confirmation that this is the ...

(From the diaries -- Susan) Conservative columnists have been trying to make a big deal about a paper that Barack Obama wrote when he was a student at Columbia University - they seem to think the fact that no one has a copy is a sign that Obama has something to hide. MSNBC's First Read has the whole story. Here's the reality - which I happen to know as a Professor of Communication and Media ...

[From the diaries - BarbinMD] Stupid is as stupid does. The White House this afternoon accidentally sent to its extensive distribution list a Reuters story headlined "Iraqi PM backs Obama troop exit plan - magazine." The story relayed how Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki told the German magazine Der Spiegel that "he supported prospective U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's proposal that U.S. troops should leave Iraq within 16 months ... ‘U.S. presidential candidate Barack ...

Has a presidential candidate ever had a worse week than John McSame just had? Drowning in flop sweat, his campaign called Americans "whiners", social security "a disgrace", and had at least a dozen more flubs. All of which deserve to be duly mocked. As do reporters who think McCain "won the week." Full Lineup and other goodies below..

(Promoted from the diaries. Bush's nomination on July 10 of one of the worst neocon hacks to the board that governs US broadcasting overseas is just the latest damage he's inflicted on the venerable VOA and related institutions. Though these broadcasts are for many millions of people worldwide the public face of America, the Bush administration's disastrous record of manipulating the BBG has largely gone unreported here. KingOneEye's excellent diary looks to be the first ...

(From the diaries -- kos) In light of kos' display of Barack Obama's birth certificate, John McCain's campaign has released a rare glimpse of the Republican candidate's own birth certificate. Thought lost for the ages, the document was found in a clay jar, in an abandoned cave, on the outskirts of Sedona, by a shepherd boy in 1947. The desert climate and the dry atmosphere in the caves kept the parchment remarkably well preserved. Unfortunately, ...
