Phelps doesn't need any more attention.

It's incredibly disheartening that despite all of Allen's gaffes and dodgy views, he still looks headed to victory. It sure paints an awful picture of Virginia.

My favorite quote from the Foley article:


"At the time, the then-16-year-old thought it was “questionable activity,” but he was unsure how to interpret it.

“I wasn’t sure if it was a social norm I wasn’t accustomed to,” Nguyen said. “I mean, you see athletes patting each other’s asses all the time on the field.”""

More news Erica C. didn't think you could use:

Dead Air America ... www.breitbart.com/news/2006/10/13/D8KNQMG84.html

Not Very Hairy Reid's Culture of Corruption ... www.sweetness-light.com/archive/honest-harry-reid-got-11m-for-land-he-didnt-own
(Please note, gentle reader, that this story comes not from Faux News. Nooooo, it's from the liberal AP.)

Diversity comes to The Daily ... check today's letters. Beauty.

Mistress Oprah,

First of all, ECB does a good job of rounding of stories, and if she doesn't link to your pet stories then you should just start your own blog.

Second, if you want honest info on Harry Reid and on John Solomon's mission to destroy him via inaccurate reporting, check here. This is the third time that Solomon has tried to nail Reid using misinformation.

Could T. gondii be a stealthy engineering of a male gender-preferenced world made up of schizophrenics and neurotics? ... Reading the articles that Erica seems to spend a large portion of her day thinking about is a great study into the mind of a sexist.

What, "Pot: Magical cure-all" doesn't do it for you?

I say that it rivals Hemingway's baby shoes story in its simplicity and depth of possibility.

Plus, it's, ya know, right.

Fixed it!

p.s. The cat parasite headline was, umm, a JOKE. have some coffee before you read Slog so you can keep up, people.

Economists are insisting that the minimum wage be increased? What is the world coming to?

You know, I actually watched the Faux News stories at the link, and the biggest thing I noticed is that at least half of their captions have misspellings in them. Who the hell writes the captions? Don't they proofread or fact-check at ALL? I mean, GACK.
