I wish I could say that I never read Parade Magazine, but I will admit it - I check it out every Sunday, just to see what mindless entertainment they print. But yesterday's edition was too much - the cover of our mindless President, and the ensuing "interview", is too much. And so, here's my one resolution for the upcoming year - I won't read Parade Magazine in 2008.

Find Out Who's Gone from Congress to K Street.

I saw NBC's footage of the Bhutto shooting last night, and felt intense anger at the Pakistan government for what seems to be an outright official lie concerning her death. I can't imagine how much anger towards the government actual Pakistanis might feel at this point.

Is your professor juicing?

I always appreciate a good Peggy Noonan description:

What a joke to see Noonan claiming to speak for the grown-ups of America when she in fact belongs to the elite cadre of arrested adolescents that dominate the major media. She's the voice of those favored few who have reduced the public dialogue to the level of teenage girls trading childish barbs over boyfriends. That they get to drive the political discourse is not funny at all.

I actually don't think you want to use dollar bills to wipe your butt. Have you seen how dirty money actually is?

3900, and it didn't even make a blip in the news.

Will 2007 be remembered in the blog world as the year of conglomeration of bloggers? Seems like everyone is joining a group blog these days, to the eventual sacrifice of their individual blog.

Why Now? remembers what happened December 17, 1903 - did you?

I'm hoping I get a digital photo frame for Christmas for my office, so I can clear some desk space. This post was timely.

No kidding. We're not absolute idiots.

Does anyone listen to Bob Beckel anymore? I thought he used up his quote of banal commentary long ago.

"The Top 10 Data Breaches of 2007".

I actually think this is a good electoral politics decision. What can Tim Russert do for Mike Huckabee at this time? Pretty much nothing good, I suspect, so why bother using the resources to go on his show?

Is the "mo" going to Edwards now?

Sure seems like it.

It sure would be nice if the thumbnails would load for everyone, but they don't. Takes yer chances.

So... what exactly does your blogging space look like, anyway? You know, the place where you actually sit and blog? Is it an office, a laptop at a coffee shop, some special setup in the hot tub? This is your chance to show the world, by posting a photo of the area on Sunday. I know I will, and now I'm challenging the following bloggers to do the same:

C'mon - you know you want to show your blog space.

Some posts to entertain or enlighten...

Should the Philadelphia Duck Tours quiet down? There's a poll.

Isiah Thomas must know what it's like to be in the Bush Administration - obviously incompetent yet unfired.

Is now the time for our neighborhood to act in unison to deliver Christmas unto Michael?

Them Southerners, with their warm weather and less clothing and all...

grannyinsanity blogs about your odds of dying - and terrorism is almost negligible in the odds.

Rachel Maddow gets MSNBC tryout. I like her, she's well worth giving a shot, but for whatever reason I have my doubts she can carry a television show. But I'd love to be proven wrong.

I don't get all the Oprah news, I really don't. I don't understand why people care what she thinks in the Presidential election, or what she does to support a candidate. She's 21st Century Merv Griffin, building an entertainment empire and smiling while doing it. That's it. Is that what impresses people so much?

I don't dislike Oprah, but I dislike all the news coverage about her helping Obama - because it's styronews. No substance, just packaging.

The President's weather satellite is missing. (Not exactly, but there apparently is a problem with the GOES-East satellite.)

Saddam Hussein dominated Yahoo searches for 2007.

It's a wonderful life, and a fun question to ask: What's the Best Christmas Movie Ever?

Asheville Drinking Liberally is celebrating their two year anniversary. I remember some guy talking about setting up one of these around here, but that's about as far as it got, I think. Apparently we don't have enough liberals on the West Shore.

Goodbye, pay phones.

Bad kissers don't get to second base. Practice, practice, practice.

So Arlen Specter doesn't like being called one of Bush's puppets. Waa, waa, waa. Most of us don't like what Specter does when the strings get pulled, either.

Oh, I guess I'm not an addict.

Rudolph has been objectified!

Librarians ARE nurturers, but anyone who uses a library probably knows that already.

Firedoglake has a new look. Same great content, with the same hot authors.

At first glance, this stinks.

Yes, Bernie, it is WAY PAST TIME to Stop Political Robo Calls.

Where do manholes come from, Daddy?
