I never understood why Connie Chung had any kind of job in the news industry, but this, an apparent adieu to MSNBC (whence she just got canceled, and where does one go from there?) makes me wonder how many bottles of hooch she had to down before she allowed it to be captured digitally, forever.
Dix Chix Blogging
This has to be one of the weirdest blogging stories I’ve read in a while, if not ever.

What A Shocker
Supply-side economics works:
The country was facing the largest projected deficit in history when Bush promised to halve it as a percentage of GDP by 2009. Due to high wartime spending and the residual effects of the 2000
Great PR
If this is true, that’s the ultimate product placement–for something that doesn’t yet exist. (Not implying that Mark isn’t right–just that I didn’t follow the link, because I didn’t want to see the spoilers.)
Protecting Us From Ourselves
Thomas James (and Dr. Sanity) says that the media are treating the American public like children. Or irascible excitable red-state rednecks. Or perhaps they don’t make a distinction. Of course, the funny thing is that the Canadian press is doing the same to the Canadian people.

Dems Deride, Truth Dies
John Fund writes about the Democrats’ dilemma in their continuing attempts to rewrite history.
Most people, including me, are willing to discuss and debate the wisdom of both past and current policy in Iraq. But it’s not possible to debate seriously people who continue to insist that Bush lied, and that it was about oil, or avenging his daddy, or because he’s a bloodthirsty warmonger. And people who continue to spout such nonsense are (thankfully) going to continue to lose at the polls, regardless of how unhappy the American people are with the Iraq situation. Which is better news for the Republicans than they deserve.
[Update a few minutes later]
I should add that I actually agree with the Democrats that the administration has been incompetent in the war. The problem is that in this (as on almost all issues), the Dems would be even worse (in many cases, not even being willing to actually wage it). As I’ve said on numerous occasions, I wish that we’d had better choices in 2004.
Technical Difficulties
I got in all right last night, but my laptop’s hard drive is dying (wish I’d known that before I left–I would have brought my other one). I’m posting this from work, but won’t be able to do much of that, so posting may be light this week, until I get back to Florida Friday night.
