Middle East Erupts: Orchestra Seat to the Revolution
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyIf the powers that be had realized the global implications of the Internet when it was invented, they probably would have found some way to kill it. Take a look at these early pages and the very first World Wide Web site. Then take a look at this CNN footage of the intrepid Ben Wedeman in Benghazi. In just two decades, the earth has shifted. I suspect the 1989 slaughter of unarmed protesters in Tiananmen Square could not happen today, or at least not without severe international repercussions. Same with Rwanda. One wonders how much sooner Hitler and Stalin might have been stopped if the ...
Shirley Sherrod Will Sue Blogger Over Edited Video
By not in system - AOL News(July 29) -- Burned by an edited video, former USDA employee Shirley Sherrod says she will sue the blogger who posted footage that showed her making racial remarks that were misinterpreted and cost her a federal job. ...
Health Care Reform and That Socialist Frank Capra: Mr. Smith Won't Shut Up
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyWatching "It's a Wonderful Life" has been a Christmas tradition since the 1970s. Hard to believe that today's beloved classic was a flop when it premiered in 1946. ...
Joe Peacock's Strange Case of 'Mental Incontinence'
By Buck Wolf - AOL News(Nov. 4) -- It takes no talent to set fire to a Hooters or to sabotage a Walmart electronics department so that all the TVs play a form of German porn so gruesome it would make Hugh Hefner gag on his banana daiquiri. But to turn those escapades into a career, you have to be Joe Peacock, an Internet author in the tradition of Hunter S. Thompson, George Plimpton and other scribes who were at their best when they injected themselves into outrageous situations. Virginia Hall, MomentByMomentPhotography.com If you want to know what it feels like to have your nipple rings ripped out while ...
Whole Foods Boycotted by Liberals for CEO's Anti-Obama Health Care Position
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyThe grocery store Whole Foods is facing a boycott organized by liberal activists because the CEO opposes President Obama's health care reform proposals. The company's chief executive, John Mackey, wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed on health care that has roiled the liberal blogosphere and prompted calls for a boycott. "While we clearly need health-care reform, the last thing our country needs is a massive new health-care entitlement that will create hundreds of billions of dollars of new unfunded deficits and move us much closer to a government takeover of our health-care system," Mackey ...
Congressman + Camera = Smackdown
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyRep. Paul Kanjorski is, as the Times-Tribune puts it, "getting a first-hand lesson in the hazards of the digital age." The Pennsylvania Democrat was approached by a blogger with a camera and asked to account for recent comments he made about the war in Iraq. Kanjorski is obviously flustered and when his temper runs out he's seen shoving the camera out of the way.Kanjorski now finds himself for the second time in a month where no politician up for re-election wants to be: on the wrong side of a YouTube clip. Obviously his rival's camp is positively giddy over the mini-meltdown.While it does ...
The Dugout: Blogs Slash Zim
By B. Thompson Stroud - AOL NewsEarlier today, Fanhouse blogger Josh Alper (Dugout username: AmburgerAlper) brought the web log of Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman to our attention. Long story short he writes like a happy third grader and as someone who works almost exclusively in hearsay and slander I think it's great. Imagine if David Wright's blog was about how fantastic his lunch was. And hey, we never talk about the Nats without talking about SteakGrowsOnDmitri, so I thought it was about time to give big ups to the motherland of Caucasia and represent the white folk of our nation's capital. No, not all ...
A Thompson Supporter Reflects on the Candidate
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyWith Fred Thompson dropping out of the Republican primary race this week the nearly universal sentiment in the media was "Great hopes for the next Reagan and all we got was - Fred". When I heard of Thompson's bail, I immediately thought of Chris Nandor, who you all met here, the singer/songwriter behind the CNN-YouTube Republican Debate opening song back in November, chairman of the 39th District Republicans in Snohomish County, WA, blogger, Perl programmer/author and Fred Thompson supporter. I truly wondered what happened with the campaign that wasn't - outside of the media hype and ...
Wisconsin Hoops Blogger Locked Out of His Blog
By Michael David Smith - AOL NewsChris West of The Chris West Basketball Journal is everything a basketball blogger should be: smart, funny, passionate about his subject. He knows Wisconsin basketball inside and out. We need more guys like him in the college basketball blogosphere. But we actually have one fewer guy like him in the college basketball blogosophere right now. Even though Wisconsin is a national title contender, West hasn't updated his blog in more than a week. I learned why from Big Ten Wonk:Turns out Chris's blog was somehow wrongly (to say the very least) flagged by the Blogger system as a "spam blog" and he ...
