Two enterprising GOP staffers have come up with a conservative “alternative to YouTube,” since, you know, it’s YouTube’s fault George Allen is a boob. They tell the WT’s Eric Pfeiffer, “We saw a need for a social-networking site for the center-right…They want something that isn’t controlled by our good friends at Google.” And here I …
Tucker Carlson is, right now, interviewing actual whores on MSNBC about the ethics of revealing clients’ names: “This seems like a violation of a code.”
Insert bloggers’ ethics panel joke here.
UPDATE: A colleague writes: “That’s a first.” Actual whores on cable news not so much a first, ones that get paid for sex, well, …
On a day when one GOP candidate endorsed the origin myth of Psychlos, I’d be remiss not to draw your attention to the candidate who thought that ferret owners were psycho:
“There is something deranged about you.… The excessive concern you have for ferrets is something you should examine with a therapist.… There is something really,

A reminder that George Bush’s vision for Iraq has been evolving for quite some time.
This makes Bush’s “my favorite philosopher is Jesus” answer look positively Lincoln-esque:
When asked his favorite novel in an interview shown yesterday on the Fox News Channel, Mitt Romney pointed to “Battlefield Earth,” a novel by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. That book was turned into a film by John Travolta, a

Funny because it’s true….
PRESS CORPS: (Applause.)
Q Where ya been? (Laughter.)
MR. SNOW: Just hanging out. Thank you so much, it’s great to be back.
Q We thought Rove double-deleted you. (Laughter.)
Good to have you back, flute-playing guy.
Now, about those emails…
UPDATE: Geez, guys, I haven’t seen the Moyers

Some advice from a first-time campaign correspondent: Never leave your computer on the charter. Also, invest in a broadband access card. My limited posts from my limited time on the Straight Talk Express are due mostly to lack of internet access and in part to the almost complete lack of news.
I don’t have much to add to the traditional …
Been on the road with McCain for his campaign relaunch tour — an entertaining diversion from the Democrats’ Gravel-tastic debate. Yesterday saw a tour through South Carolina, during which the Senator repeatedly insisted that his 2000 loss in the state was not due to the sneaky, bastard black baby tricks of Karl Rove, but rather to a …
The press corps was not impressed, but I think the crowd was slightly more so. I predict many stories will incorporate the truly grim* weather as a symbol for McCain’s stolid cadences and generally flat aspect. There was even a slight break in the clouds at the end of the speech — where McCain got cheers from the veteran-friendly crowd …
McCain has been on the Daily Show more than any other guest. This may be the toughest interview he’s gotten on any show.
There’s approximately one minute of wackiness and sort of unbecoming chumminess, then Stewart goes after him hard on Iraq, Reid (Stewart may be the only “news” anchor to accurately characterize the majority

A quick tour of the news channels shows CNN reporting on the supplemental, MSNBC on Cho’s escort service dealings and Fox looking at border regulation. No one is currently reporting on the hearing regarding Pat Tillman’s “friendly fire” death in Afghanistan (remember that war?). If journalism is the first draft of history, Congressional …
Who could this eyewitness to the David/Crow/Rove smackdown possibly be?
In the eyewitness’ version, again, David and Crow are a bit more aggressive than their own story suggests. The eyewitness says David told Rove, You need to bring in new people to tell you the truth. Rove mentioned Dr. John Marburger, the White House science advisor.

Thanks a ton for all the questions you posed here. It will take awhile to work through them; I decided to start with some housekeeping-related queries first. A nice batch was submitted by paul_lukasiak:
1) You have the title of “editor of Time.com” Do you actually perform any editorial functions — do you, for instance, offer your peers
