Month: December 2004

Ever since the election, I forgot about these. Last I looked there was only one episode, but now there are four. While the propaganda is still absurd, looking at them now, they are pretty funny.

President Bush has chosen former New York police commissioner Bernard Kerik, who helped direct the emergency response to the Sept. 11 terrorist strikes against the Twin Towers, to lead the Homeland Security Department, charged with safeguarding Americans from future attack, administration officials said Thursday.

So, I head on over to see if PunditGuy is listed in one of the categories…any of the categories…by some miracle. Well, I’m not. Did I really think I was going to be there? No. Did I secretly hope that I was going to be listed there? Yes. Oh well…there’s next year right?

Barney on the job.

Noonan on Dan Rather:

“People are complicated, careers are complicated, motives are complicated. Dan Rather did some great work on stories that demanded physical courage. He loved the news, and often made it look like the most noble of enterprises. He had guts and fortitude. Those stories he covered that touched on politics were unfortunately and consistently marred by liberal political bias, and in this he was like too many in his profession. But this is changing. The old hegemony has given way. The old dominance is over. Good thing. Great thing. Onward.”

Whodathunkit? Broadband becomes widely available, and the Brits love it!

My alliance with Jarvis notwithstanding, tonight’s farewell
by Tom Brokaw was excellent. No schmaltzy crap, just a genuine
thoughtful goodbye. I hope Black Rock Dan watched and took notes.
