Creators Out, But Muhammad Drawing Protest Is On
By David Moye - AOL News(April 27) -- An event calling on North Americans to draw the Islamic prophet Muhammad is not only drawing controversy, it's also drawing in participants -- even as the organizers drop out of the picture. After hearing about the threats made against "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker by Muslim activists for a recent episode depicting Muhammad in a bear costume to spoof the Islam rule that he never be drawn, Seattle cartoonist Molly Norris decided to take action. Courtesy Of Molly Norris Seattle cartoonist Molly Norris created this poster declaring May 20 as "Everybody Draw ...
'If You See It in the Sun, It's So': A Christmas Wish for Newspapers
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyIf you are reading this article, you are doing so online, as Politics Daily is a digital portal in our Digital Age. In other words, I'm no Luddite; in fact, I've bet my career that Politics Daily and other online publications are the future of journalism. Nonetheless, my Christmas wish is that in 2010 newspaper publishers will patch up their leaky hulls and right their ships. A great deal depends on it. Until yesterday, Saturday, December 19, 2009 was the last time a newspaper had appeared on my doorstep. After our recent snowstorm, Arlington, Va., where I live, couldn't manage to plow the ...
U.S. Editorial Pages Challenge Obama's Fiscal Details on Health Care
By David Sessions - Politics Daily"The hard part, in terms of both policy and politics, is finding a way to pay for the expansion in coverage," the editors of the Los Angeles Times wrote Thursday, reviewing President Obama's major address on health care Wednesday night. "On that most contentious issue, unfortunately, Obama argued that Congress could cover most of the cost by attacking waste, fraud and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid -- a pain-free path that's as unrealistic as it is alluring." ...
Manny Being Overly Optimistic
By Tom Fornelli - AOL NewsWhile we're all still sitting here waiting for Manny Ramirez to give in to the fact that nobody is going to give him the four-year deal he seems dead set on signing and just sign with the Dodgers or Giants already, Manny wants us to know that he's still pretty confident that things are going to get done and work out.In an interview with the Los Angeles Times' Dylan Hernandez, Manny said that he's in no rush to get a deal done and that he's only "in the seventh inning and I'm waiting for my pitch." He also wants his prospective employers to know that he's not going to dog it if he gets a ...
Rick Neuheisel Calls His Shot: "The Football Monopoly in Los Angeles Is Officially Over"
By Brian Grummell - AOL NewsWell, at least, those are somebody's words, and he's in the picture doing that Urban Meyer pointy thing. At right is what appeared in yesterday's Los Angeles Times. Notice the big, bold, capital OVER. Now technically this isn't so much a shot across the bow as a call to an end to USC's hegemonic grip on football success in Los Angeles. But we all know the other message implied here: I'm coming for you, USC. Cue the High Noon audio.Bold. And idiotic. Pete Carroll being Pete Carroll, he'll laugh this off in public and promptly save it for bulletin board material at suitable leisure. It's not ...
Texas Was Anything but 'Lucky' Against USC
By Brian Grummell - AOL NewsThe Los Angeles Times can do better than this. In a special story about "unlucky" moments in Los Angeles sports history, this is what the Times had to say about 2005's Rose Bowl:USC held a 7-3 lead in its BCS title game against Texas when Longhorns quarterback Vince Young seemed to touch his knee down before throwing an option pitch that went for a touchdown. The play was screaming for a replay review, but on college football's biggest stage of the season, the replay-review system malfunctioned, depriving officials of the right play to review. The illegal touchdown stood, setting up Young's ...
Gary Matthews and T.J. Simers Are Already Feuding
By Eamonn Brennan - AOL NewsWell, that didn't take long. A few unanswered questions and tense moments in the locker room, and Gary Matthews -- he of the $50 million contract and HGH suspicions -- went and pissed off T.J. Simers of the Los Angeles Times:Matthews, now occupying Darin Erstad's locker, which is a disgrace when you consider what a stand-up guy Erstad was here, begged Modesti to ask a question after I said, "Do you think you have to earn the fans' respect here after being Mr. HGH" this spring? ...I asked Matthews whether he was familiar with Ryan Leaf, since Matthews reminded me of the punk, and got nothing. I ...
