Political Power in Full Flower
Saturday, December 12, 2009
From Robert Reich’s excellent piece in HuffPost about big insurance companies’ keeping the Senate their bitch:
“From the start, opponents of the public option have wanted to portray it as big government preying upon the market, and private insurers as the embodiment of the market. But it’s just the reverse. Private insurers are exempt from competition. [...]
Editor & Publisher’s Demise Portentous for Dailies
Friday, December 11, 2009
My Huffington Post piece on the impending death of newspaper bible Editor and Publisher doesn’t go into what a world without vigorous dailies could mean — the D.C. weasels won’t be watched as closely.
Line of the Day

Humorist Andy Borowitz’ latest gem:

NBC’s Andrea Mitchell says Pres. Obama may get Olympia Snowe and even “Droopy Dog” Lieberman on board for health care, but forget about Nebraksa Sen. Ben Nelson, the power-broker wannabe with the Ziebarted-on hair.
I’ve Noticed This, Too
Saturday, December 5, 2009
Columnist Gail Collins in today’s NYTimes:
