A clip from the 1976 film "Network" . . . An evening news anchor slips into insanity and his ratings actually go up . . . I like to think this phenomenon explains the ratings success of Glenn Beck and the rest of the motley crew at Fox News!

Karzai Using Rift With U.S. to Gain Favor With Afghans - New York Times

Read Article

Afghanistan is below the radar screen in the political discussion today but should not be. We have been there for eight years and the American deaths last month were higher than any other month. The political situation is falling apart and we are now facing an extremely dangerous situation.

Granted he inherited an economy in free fall from an arrogant and mendacious administration at a time when the conventional wisdom was that the economy was in free fall and that a "great depression" was a real possibility . . . but good grief, the president has had almost seven months to turn it around and . . . granted, the stock market is having a record year . . . and all of the economic indicators are pointing up. . . and it does look like we averted the economic meltdown that everyone feared so much. . . but dog-gonnit . . . why aren't are we in a full economic boom yet . . . I mean 7 months . . . how much time does this president need???

In Kennedy, the Last Roar of the New Deal Liberal - New York Times

Read the Article . . .

I love how then House Speaker Tip O'Neil had to almost force Ted Kennedy and President Carter to shake hands at the 1980 Democratic National Convention after their bitter primary battle that Carter won . . . the Carter supporters believed that Kennedy's challenge and his lukewarm support for Carter in the general election campaign paved the way for Ronald Reagan's victory. . . but Kennedy ran a poor primary campaign against a very vulnerable Jimmy Carter and it will always be one of "History's Mysteries" how Kennedy would have played against Reagan in 1980 if he had gotten the Democratic nomination . . .

I agree . . . there were way too may tributes to Michael Jackson after his death . . . but the ruling of his death as a "homicide" is a whole new can of "whoop-ass!"
