The debut of Sarah Palin, the new gal in town, is still the subject du jour 24 hours later, having wiped Obama’s smashing convention spectacular from the news cycle and thus, for all intents and purposes, from memory. His really big shew didn’t have time to stick, because McCain trampled all over it with fresh meat.
The media’s instant switchover from covering Obama’s triumph to covering the sensational instant celebrity Sarah Palin reveals the danger in relying on the MSM to carry your message (and your momentum, not to mention your water), as Obama did with the convention spectacular: you can be swept aside by the next story that comes along. And if the story introduces an exceptionally telegenic new archetype ( who scores ) into the tired old cast of the “Mediathon” (see Frank Rich’s brilliant article about the phenomenon)—well then, if you’re Obama, you might just have lost your mini-momentum...

In Three Cups of Tea , Greg Mortenson describes an important lesson he learned from his Pakistani hosts:
'"If you want to thrive in Baltistan, you must respect our ways," Haji Ali said, blowing on his bowl. "The first time you share tea with a Balti, you are a stranger. The second time you take tea, you are an honored guest. The third time you share a cup of tea, you become family, and for our family, we are prepared to do anything, even die," he said, laying his ha... more
We’re all over it when the gas prices are rising. How about when they’re falling like a lead balloon? Gas on my street is $2.52 this morning.
From the Raleigh News & Observer :
Gas prices are falling faster than Isaac Newton’s apple, and even faster than the Dow Jones average.
Times are bad, but this is good.
Triangle drivers paid $42.51 for a 15-gallon fill-up Monday (at an average $2.834 a gallon for self-service regular). That’s the cheapest gas we&r... more
Laten we het weer eens over hen hebben. Het deel van de wereldbevolking dat zich ‘We Americans’ noemt, en er het ‘We, Proud Americans’ gezicht bij trekt. Die leven in de enige deel op aarde waar God belangstelling voor heeft, waar Justice altijd zegeviert, alles the biggest is, en altijd the best. Waar de witte huid de enige ware schoonheid vertegenwoordigt.
Voor hen die zich in Europa, Azië, en Afrika nog steeds een beetje in het feodale bronstijdperk bevinde... more

But now both have transformed into increasingly trendy and desirable neighborhoods with old buildings being rehabbed, new luxury condos being built, and banks opening branches in areas that were once redlined. In _The New Urban Renewal_, Derek S. Hyra offers an illuminating exploration of the ... more

MSNBC notes :
Al-Zarqawi was a master of the propaganda war — martyrdom videos, military successes and images that repulsed and shocked the West and inspired his followers.
One ignorant asshole at HuffPost , representing the Moron wing of the Democratic Party, which just grows and grows, has this to say:
Ah, the more things change, the more they remain the same. If there are any Americans left who believe that the death of Zarqawi is anything other than an orchestrated photo-op... more
