Breakfast of Champions?
So this is what we all need to start our days with, heh? Dibs on the Smoke Monster ( free-inside ).
Dakota Culkin Hit By Car In Marina del Rey
On the heals of the Scott Ruffalo tragedy, more tough news at holiday time.
The latest: the sudden death of Dakota Culkin, older sister of actor Macaulay Culkin, in Marina del Rey. It appears she stepped off a curb, and was struck by a car on Tuesday night. She died later at the UCLA Medical Center of massive [...]
Naomi Klein, Nike & Obama
In this New Yorker profile, Naomi Klein compares successful advertising slogans…
…she [Klein] doesn’t spend time wishing Obama were more progressive. “I don’t want to appear too cynical, but when I first saw the ‘Yes We Can’ rock video that Will.I.Am made, my first response was ‘Wow, finally a politician is making ads that are as [...]
Pasadena Local News via India
Maureen Dowd considers whether outsourcing might be a viable future paradigm for the tanking newspaper business. She takes a look at James McPherson’s daily online magazine Pasadena Now and its novel way of gathering and reporting on news.
He fired his seven Pasadena staffers — including five reporters — who were making $600 to $800 a [...]

Live and Let Lieberman
Dems need to forgive and forget a little with Joe Lieberman. What’s the point in punishing him for his betrayal, by stripping him of his chairmanship on the Homeland Security and Government Reform committee?
Obama is smart to be extending a fig leaf to Lieberman, and Harry Reid should do the same. Sometimes when [...]
Ayers: A Dishonest Narrative
Post election, I guess we’re no longer worried if Obama “pals around with terrorists”. Everyone from Joe Lieberman to Sarah Palin is suddenly praising the President-Elect, or in the Palin vernacular, it’s now ok for God to “bless Barack Obama” .
What about William Ayers, ACORN, and Reverend Wright? Yeah, like I thought, along [...]
McCain: Classy Comments In Defeat
11:22pm EST: John McCain is conceding election to Barack Obama.
He seems to be a little bit teary but poised and brave. This concession speech is the best stuff I’ve heard from him in a long while.
It is a call for unity and patriotism under the new President. [...]
He’s Just A Man
As usual, the GOP is trying to whip up our dander, comparing Obama with everyone from Karl Marx to Mao to - yes, even Jim Jones. They are warning us not to drink the kool aid, or we’ll all be doomed.
They’ve even found a few game TV “journalists” (Barbara West, you are scary) to generate [...]
