News Flash: Your Diet May -- or May Not -- Beat Cancer
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyDiet may play a part in ovarian cancer survival rates. Hey, Los Angeles Times, if you're going to use "may," the most powerful weasel word ever invented, you don't have to settle for the humble vegetable. The sky's the limit! Butter-pecan ice cream may prevent cancer. A Maui vacation may keep cancer from spreading. Daily massages may prevent recurrence. Especially free massages, given by reluctant relatives. ...
The Unpaid Intern's Plight: Getting Ahead in a Recession, Labor Laws Aside
By Kase Wickman - Politics DailyAre you currently an unpaid intern, or have you ever been one? Have you felt helpful around the office, actively contributing to the team, seeing your work pay off in a final product? Have you worked independently, without a supervisor breathing down the back of your neck at all times? Have you felt like you could have a shot at a job once your internship ended? I certainly have. As an intern I was told I could easily transition to being a paid staffer, if only I didn't have a year of college left (the company going bankrupt five months later is another story). Here's an excerpt lifted from ...
How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Facebook
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyEveryone is sick of hearing their friends tell them to get on Facebook. I've heard the complaints, recently outlined by New York Times writer Virginia Heffernan in "Facebook Exodus." To sum up: Facebook is boring. It's invasive. It's a time waster. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Au contraire, says my colleague Mia Navarro. She, too, was not feeling the Facebook love until recently. After her cousin was murdered, Navarro found solace on her cousin's Facebook page. I've been spared the indignity of being harangued by friends to join Facebook because I became ...
Conservative Bloggers, At Least, Have Reason to 'Hope' for 'Change' ...
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyOver at NRO, Jonah Goldberg posits an interesting theory: ... Will Barack Obama "kill" the Netroots??? To some, this may seem like a ridiculous notion. After all, liberal bloggers helped Obama get elected. So they should reap the benefits of his election, right?Maybe not.Though I disagreed with conservatives who (during the election) argued it might actually be better for us to lose -- depressed conservatives should now realize that there is a bright side to all of this.... It has been my observation that alternative media is much better when it is, well, alternative. Like an underground rock ...
Interleague Baseball Is Boring: Cleveland-Rockies Live Blog
By B. Thompson Stroud - AOL NewsBaseball is America's pastime, but had our forefathers enjoyed the modern conveniences of clocks, ball pumps, or haste, this pastime may well have been basketball or football. Instead, they had wood, leather, and a rudderless disposition. Baseball is Boring is a series of live blogs for folks who need irony and self-awareness to get through a game.My girlfriend and I go to a lot of games in Cleveland, and for a change we decided to check out one of the Minor League teams. She took a look at the schedule and laughed at the team names. I told her that a weird-funny team name (Everett AquaSox) ...
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 ...
Internal Dissension: Pro-Clinton Bloggers Strike
By Dave - Politics DailyIt's a little like the American Civil War. Friend against friend, brother against brother, and now blogger versus blogger at the Democrats largest online community: Objecting to the tone of attacks against Mrs. Clinton and her supporters on the blog, the diarist called for a "writers strike." "This is a strike - a walkout over unfair writing conditions at DailyKos. It does not mean that if conditions get better I won't 'work'' at DailyKos again," Alegre wrote, promising to come back only "if we ever get to the point where we're engaging each other in discussion rather than facing off in ...
