Danny Tarkanian is already leading Reid by 11 points.<br /><br /><br />Or donate to Mike Berryhill and send the receipt to Dennis Cardoza! <br /><br />http://www.redstate.com/moe_lane/2009/08/27/mike-berryhill-challenging-dennis-cardoza-d-ca-18/<br /><br />CA-18 is a D+4 district that voted for Bush in 2004; incumbent Cardoza ran unopposed in 2008. Of course, that was before unemployment in Cardoza’s district hit double digits*, and why Cardoza’s yelling for help from the federal government, while treating Speaker Pelosi like the radioactive career-killer that she is. Mind you, Cardoza’s also ducking those inconveniently public town halls in favor of nice, controllable mass phone calls; which tells you everything that you need to know about his interest in his consituency. Or his personal moral courage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-54280987362998345722009-08-27T21:36:05.613-07:002009-08-27T21:36:05.613-07:00Obama care

The magnitude of the industry's advertising losses have intensified in each of the last 12 quarters. <br /><br />The numbers released Thursday by the Newspaper Association of America weren't a shock, given the dramatic erosion mirrored the advertising losses that the largest U.S. newspaper publishers already had reported for the April-June period. <br /><br />Still, the statistics served as a stark reminder of the crisis facing newspapers as they try to cope with a brutal recession and advertising trends that have shifted more marketing dollars to the Internet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-15357597782875968322009-08-27T15:02:25.231-07:002009-08-27T15:02:25.231-07:00Saluting Boston's BIG DIGGER.

Out of curiousity, I decided to compare them myself.<br /><br />The Associated Press mentioned Chappaquiddick in the 7th graf of the Kennedy obit; Plame appears in the 2nd graf of the Novak obit (which later had to be corrected regarding the Plame case). <br /><br />Reuters mentioned Chappaquiddick in the 18th graf, but mentioned the Plame case in the lede. The New York Times mentioned Chappaquiddick in the 14th graf, Plame in the lede. <br /><br />The Washington Post put Chappaquiddick in the 9th graf, Plame in the 2nd graf (and the second sentence). <br /><br />The Chicago Tribune and the L.A. Times put Chappaquiddick in the 12th graf, Plame in the lede. USA Today put Chappaquiddick in the 19th graf, Plame in the 6th graf. <br /><br />The Hill made no mention of Chappaquiddick, but put the Plame case in the second graf. Roll Call put Chappaquiddick in the 25th graf, Plame in the 12th. The NY Daily News put Chappaquiddick in the 13th graf, Plame in the 9th graf.<br /><br />Not every media outlet followed the pattern. The Politico put Chappaquiddick in the 24th graf, but put Plame in the 30th. <br /><br />The Wall Street Journal placed Chappaquiddick in the 6th graf, and Plame in the 11th. But these were the exceptions proving the rule.<br /><br />WaPo media critic Howard Kurtz may have been surprised that Chappaquiddick was a trending topic on Twitter (and a number of the hottest searches on Google), but few in flyover country are likely to be surprised. <br /><br />Chappaquiddick — in addition to its inherent tragedy — is a milestone in double-standards, both in American politics and the establishment media<br /><br />SNIP<br /><br />How bad is this double-standard? <br /><br />As the two men were dying of brain cancer, Ted Kennedy was far kinder to Robert Novak in life than Novak’s media colleagues were to Novak in death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-79681065198834145852009-08-27T13:51:48.968-07:002009-08-27T13:51:48.968-07:00...Hot,Flat and Crowded...How about married into w......Hot,Flat and Crowded...How about married into wealth and don't really give a damn about what the common man needs!<br /><br />Friedman's great wealth is a frame for his window on the world. The Washingtonian reports that "his annual income easily reaches seven figures." In the Maryland suburbs near Washington, three years ago, "the Friedmans built a palatial 11,400-square-foot house, now valued at $9.3 million," on a parcel of more than seven acres near Bethesda Country Club and the Beltway.<br /><br />ow about "Air Conditioned, Leveled and Room to Spare".<br /><br /><br />Throughout his journalistic career, Friedman has been married to Ann Bucksbaum -- heiress to a real-estate and shopping-mall fortune now estimated at $2.7 billion. When the couple wed back in 1978, according to The Washingtonian article, Friedman became part of "one of the 100 richest families in the country."<br /><br /><br />Ask the Hawaiians on Kauai how they like the Ward Village shopping mall.<br />General Growth Properties is building the store on a 6-acre site as part of a mixed-use project that was also to include a multi-level parking garage, nearly 100,000 square feet of additional retail space, and a 17-story apartment building.
