former Gen. Wesley Clark. Unfortunately, CBS article

… fighting bias from the left /and the right/ requires a little self
awareness . And
what better place to develop that awareness than through a strong
liberal arts education. Of course, J-schools are leaning away from
objectivity.

humor.
Remember folks, there’s not a tinker’s damn worth of difference between
the GOP and the Dems. They are just different wings of the same ruling
party.

The worst scenario would be if Freedom Communications is sold to yet
another media conglomerate. I’ve worked for these guys. They are good
people. It’s a shame that our nation’s confiscatory tax laws are helping
destroy family owned newspapers.

about me. Tom
Mangan?s Prints the Chaff blog is
one of the best independent journalism blogs around (I hesitate to use
the term ?j-blog”). He used to run these two great sites called Seven
Questions and Newsies on the Web

Tom used Peoria Pundit (yeah, I?m

It may turn out that “leakgate” …

… is a story with legs. Romenesko
has tons of links to
follow up articles about this mess. Jack Shafer, for example, writes
that at least six journalists were
contacted by two different White House leakers:
/How do we know that? An unnamed source?”a senior administration
official”?told the Post so, adding […]

? Putting the October 2003 issue of the The Community Word on the Web.

? Attending a rather large job fair. Baby needs a new pair of shoes.
? Watching the Cubs play Atlanta. This may be the […]

…. the Cubs haven’t won a post-season game since the 1945 World
Series. Until tonight that is. Chicago beat the Braves 4-2. In Atlanta.
Kerry Wood is the winning pitcher.
Teams that win a playoff opener _on the road_ are overwhelming favorites
to win that series.

A little balance …

Thanks for the advice on airline travel. On behalf of Cub fans who made
the trip, I’d like to thank Atlanta for their utter indifference to
their team’s performance. More tickets for us.
BTW: Greg might might want to fix his post. The Cubs haven’t won the

finds some, err, questionable
quotes to back
up Wesley Clark’s contention

Which is kinds of funny, because all my leftist political science
