I haven’t had ads on my blog for quite a while. The political season is heating up and I’ve returned to political blogging for the time being, so I’d be foolish not to offer space to organizations and individuals trying to sell stuff to an audience interested in political things.
I get e-mails from political [...] feedburner.com Tuesday, July 08, 2008 WaPo: Lara Logan's 'Tabloid' Tales Are True CBS foreign-affairs correspondent Lara Logan has granted an interview to Washington Post media reporter Howard Kurtz to acknowledge her messy personal life. Logan laments how she became "tabloid fodder," but she's telling Kurtz that the basic facts of the story are true:
[L]ast November, she broke off an intense relationship with another journalist in Baghdad. Soon afterward, Logan started dating Joseph Burkett, a federal contractor stationed in Iraq who was separated from his wife back in Texas.
Now, having just moved to Washington with an expanded portfolio for the network, Logan finds her romantic life reduced to tabloid fodder. And there is a new complication: She recently discovered that she is pregnant.
Logan, 37, says she and Burkett plan to get married eventually. Her divorce is slated to become final in two weeks, and Burkett's divorce trial is likely to end next month. But the case has turned decidedly messy, with Burkett's estranged wife Kimberly, the mother of newsbusters.org Tuesday, July 08, 2008 Obama Still Using Variation on Presidential Seal Jen Psaki, a spokeswoman for Obama's campaign, said Monday that the altered seal would not be used again. She said it was only intended for that event, in which Obama held a round-table discussion with Democratic governors. -- AP story, June 23, 2008 [emphasis added]
Hat tip teoman.
Add Obama's pledge to drop the faux presidential seal to his list of "inoperative"... statements. The image shown here [and another seen at foot after break] are taken from the current version of "Fight the Smears," an official Obama website that purports to debunk false rumors about the candidate.
Not quite the same seal [right] that caused such an outpouring of ridicule when Obama broke it out last month that the candidate was forced to yank it, but a variation in which the key element-an eagle clutching an olive branch in its right talons and arrows in its left-is still plainly visible.
Let's see. Current list, and still counting, in the pantheon of Obama's broken promises:

It's the equivalent of MSNBC suddenly getting endorsed by the likes of Mary Matalin or Ari Fleischer, something which is far less likely to happen. New York Times reporter Jim Rutenberg broke the story:Howard Wolfson, who was a top strategist for the presidential campaign of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, is going where some Democrats were unwilling to go during the early days of the election season: the Fox News Channel. [...]Mr. Wolfson is joining a network that Democrats shunned for a time, complaining that its coverage was unfair. But aides to Mrs. Clinton came to view Fox News as distinctly fair to her in a news newsbusters.org Tuesday, July 08, 2008 Jodi Miller is on vacation this week, please help us give "NewsBusted" guest host Al Sonja Schmidt a warm welcome!Topics in today's show: Barack Obama's flip-flops, "24" supposedly paving the way for a black president, Rush Limbaugh's big contract, and Jessica Simpson's latest award.

The route was due to pass in front of the headquarters of the parties and in front of Parliament. The Questura has forbidden it to pass in front of the headquarters of the parties and in front of Parliament. For security reasons. They proposed a touristic alternative with piazza della Repubblica, the Fori Imperiali, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, via della Cuccagna and Piazza Navona. The possibility of marching pacifically past the headquarters of the parties has been denied us. Their rent is paid by the citizens. There?s a prohibition on offering our greetings to our employees, whose salaries are paid for by the citizens. It has not been allowed that we demonstrate peacefully with bicycles, wheelchairs and rickshaws. The party headquarters, by now metastasis of democracy, are off limits for the citizens, they have become a militarized zone.

John McCain’s (R-AZ) presidential campaign released an economic plan promising that McCain will “balance the budget by the end of his first term.” But in a speech in Denver yesterday, McCain refused to mention his strict promise, instead just saying that he will “get government’s fiscal house in order.” On CSPAN’s Washington Journal [...] thinkprogress.org Tuesday, July 08, 2008 Are they blue?

Think again. The Hardball host has ungraciously predicted that the move to Fox could spell the end of Wolfson-and in doing so revealed his own pop-culture roots.
Here was Matthews on this evening's Hardball:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Fox News loves presenting itself as the alternative to the other news networks. Roger Ailes, the guy behind the network, figures that the Hillary campaign needs a new home, now that she's out of the race for president. So, abracadabra, Howard Wolfson, the voice of the Hillary campaign, has just been hired by-you guessed it-Fox News. Wolfson has just signed a contract as a regular contributor. He told the New York Times, quote, "it is important to have a strong progressive voice on the network." Well I think it's the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Reminds me of a movie: it's called Howards End.
Vie newsbusters.org Tuesday, July 08, 2008 ABC Sees 'Impressive Gains in Iraq' While CBS Finds Bad Hospitals As was pattern earlier this year and last, ABC's World News is much more willing -- than its CBS and NBC competitors -- to acknowledge good news in the Iraq war. On Tuesday night, ABC's Martha Raddatz cited "some really impressive gains" as she reported the plummeting number of attacks in Baghdad, falling from 1,278 in June of 2007 to 112 last month. The night before, only anchor Charlie Gibson highlighted the "upbeat assessment of security in Iraq today from Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Michael Mullen."
Neither the CBS Evening News nor NBC Nightly News mentioned Mullen on Monday night while NBC's Jim Miklaszewski only noted less violence in Iraq in contrast to a "record number of Americans killed in Afghanistan last month," so "if there's any bright side here...it's that the level of violence in Iraq has come down enough" to allow the military to move resources to Afghanistan.
Tuesday night, CBS anchor Katie Couric offered just a clause on violence in Iraq -- "Iraq's national secur newsbusters.org Tuesday, July 08, 2008 1 2 3 4
