Craig: I presume the list is somewhat tongue in cheek. Still, I thought that one odd as well. (I don't know if such a call actually exists, although I doubt it.)

Refuse to join the daily morning Ken Mehlman-Rush Limbaugh conference calls, despite repeated invitations.

Why on earth would any serious journalist want to sit in on a daily call with a guy who ridicules his political opponent's terminal disease? The right has smarter commentators; Limbaugh just isn't one of them. And can we view any journalist as "serious" who sees failing to listen to Limbaugh's drivel as evidence of journalistic partisan bias?

How the (liberal) Old Media plans to cover the last two weeks of the election:

The same way they handle it every other day. Unpaid campaign contributions to the Dems.

Of course you are right, Larry Kudlow doing an interview of Nancy Pelose on CNBC is just another example of the liberal press bias.

You know, I'd always *heard* The Note was crap, but I never actually looked at it. No need to, it seems.

I guess when you are getting the shit knocked out of you and all the lies you told are starting to unravel, well it is time to dust off another "top level operative", isn't it? Here we are. October being the worst month EVER for American troops, but we killed another al quida member. Wow, big deal! We have been killing 2nd in commands for years now. How many 2nd in commands do they have? Or maybe we are just being lied to again. What do you think? Are you proud to be an American? During five years of lies and misconduct we have developed into a semi-fascist state where most of the world hates us and we are making more terrorists every day due to our inability to even understand the difference between Sunnis, Kurds, etc. How many Arab speaking intelligence folks do we have? People please. This is not very difficult. If your own children lied to you all the time, you would put a stop to it, right? If your kids were constantly "making things up", you would stop it right? How about your kids failing at every opportunity - would you step in to change things? Of course you would, but not for bushco. I can't figure that one out. For all the incompetence and criminality, what do you get out of it? And really, I am asking - what do you get out of the whole debacle? Anybody? Bueller?, Anybody? Please help me to understand how and why losing our civil rights, treasury, global image, fine men and women, souls, moral compass balances out with bushco's vanity war. Why are we there again? Please wake up, it's about time.

Hopefully Muhsin Musa Matwalli Atwah arrived in Hell about seven months ago and is well aware now that the seventy-two virgin thing is a lie.

>Lock in the CW (which, shockingly, could be
>wrong)

The House GOP conrol contract on tradesports is currently running in the 30's. So if you're so sure the CW is wrong, you have a great oppurtunity to triple your money.

If this is the case, I invite you to put your money where your mouth is. Otherwise, it sounds rather like whistling past the graveyard.

From the CNN article: DNA testing confirmed the Pakistani government's claim, U.S. officials said, and Atwah's name was removed from the FBI's list of Most Wanted Terrorists. Am I missing where it says when the DNA tests were completed? I'm not saying it wasn't done recently, just please point me to where it says when the tests came back.

Cernig,

Fair enough. The news now is just the confirmation, I guess.

And true 'nuff on Limbaugh. I've long viewed him mostly as an entertainer rather than an opinion journalist, though.
