An Idea Whose Time Has…Yeah, That’s Uncomfortable

I’m not sure if Hulu embedding works here, so if not, click the link.  “Bromance novels” is a funny enough premise, but the first one in this Late Night sketch is written by someone named Caleb.  OK, still uncomfortable. (From Tasty Booze)

I’m Not Happy Unless I’m Startin’ Shit

Here’s what I wrote about this at AOL:

Jonah Goldberg Should School Himself, Not CNN, on Blogosphere

I thought this deserved more than a mere cross-post, however.  This kind of shit burns my ass.  You might have noticed this before.  To the right-O-sphere’s credit, they are the first to denounce this kind of breach, even Redstate, who hate me.

What’s great about this, though, is that Goldberg is being such a dick about schooling CNN’s Mark Preston, giving me a wide open shot at his chin.

Here’s what happened:

Remarks of President Obama: Stem Cell Signing

Perfect for the PUMA in your life, or even a visiting head of state, check out my appearances in not 1, but 2 anti-Obama documentaries.

I’m only in Media Malpractice in a screenshot, but I’m the star of Audacity (3rd billing.)  Still, you’re not a complete collector until you have ’em both!

Chris Matthews Repeats Lie That Rush’s Ratings Have Doubled

As I reported Saturday, not only is the claim that “Rush Limbaugh’s ratings have doubled” since January a lie, the Washington Post’s source for that claim refused to even characterize his estimate as equivalent to an industry “rating.”

That hasn’t stopped the lie from spreading, of course.  On “The Chris Matthews Show” Sunday, the host repeated the claim to his panel.  Why wouldn’t he?  He read it in the Washington Post!

Clarence Page does a nice job of taking on the idea that even if true, it somehow means a gain for Republican obstructionism, making pretty much the same point I did.
