ON THE LEFT: Nina Totenberg


Totenberg: Bush White House 'More Like the Mob' in Freezing Out Media Outlets

Discussing the Obama White House's quest to discredit and banish the Fox News Channel, NPR's Nina Totenberg declared going “on the offensive publicly against Fox was not too bright” and she recalled how, in contrast, the Bush White House “just cut people dead, it froze them out, you know it froze whole institutions out, didn't talk about it.”

Putting it in the most-nefarious light, she charged on the weekly Inside Washington: “It was much more like the Mob.” Seemingly ruing Team Obama's miscue in not matching the Bush method, Totenberg asserted that “when you talk about it, you diminish your influence.”

Read the rest.

  15. Blogspot is quite primitive. You have to manually copy and paste to quote.
    Often, we put <em> and </em> tags around the quote to make it italic.
    And links are harder. You do
    <a href="linkToTheWebSite">Text you want to appear for the link</a>
    Leave the quotes; they're necessary.

  22. As for cars, my sister always named hers. I named a couple. One was Otto; I had a beat up Ford pickup known as the Millenium Falcon ("C'mon baby ... hold together" was a common refrain); there was "Crystal Rose" named after the color of the car (which seemed much like the name of a stripper); and Caffus Lee (My old Tracker, named after a sign I saw on a dirt road way up in the Appalachians).

    I have so little invested in my current modes of transport I haven't bothered to put names on them.

    Church of Scientology convicted of fraud in France

    A Paris court convicted the Church of Scientology of fraud and fined it more than euro600,000 ($900,000) on Tuesday, but stopped short of banning the group's activities.
    The group's French branch said it would appeal the verdict.

    The court convicted the Church of Scientology's French office, its library and six of its leaders of organized fraud. Investigators said the group pressured members into paying large sums of money for questionable financial gain and used "commercial harassment" against recruits.

  29. Oh yes, for those with more HTML knowledge, blogspot does not allow links that open in another window. It refuses to accept the TARGET="_blank" attribute.

    "The Invisible Tribe" and "Sawdust" were the strips-within-a-strip in Dick Tracy, not Pogo.

    "Fearless Fosdick," of course, was the Tracy-takeoff strip-within-a-strip in Li'l Abner.

    I don't think Pogo ever had a strip within a strip, though it often poked fun at Little Orphan Annie as Houn' Dog's ideal "Lulu Arfin' Nanny."

  46. "The Invisible Tribe" and "Sawdust" were the strips-within-a-strip in Dick Tracy, not Pogo.

    I didn't say it was a strip within a strip, seƱor smartypants. But I clearly recall a Pogo strip in which one of the characters (I think it was Albert Alligator) claimed that a tribe of invisible Indians had once inhabited the swamp, and cited as proof of this that no evidence of them had ever been found. (This seems similar to Nina's reasoning set forth above.)

  79. The European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short).

    In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c." Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the hard "c" will be replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter.

    There will be growing publik emthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced by "f". This will make words like fotograf" 20 persent shorter.

    In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go.

    By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" by "z" and "w" by " v".

    During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou", and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
