By Simon Tisdall (THE GUARDIAN, 05/11/07): Condoleezza Rice keeps pretty chirpy, but it was a gloomy weekend for US power and interests in the Middle East. Every way she looked during a flying visit to the region, hopes of progress turned to dust in her hands. From Pakistan to the occupied Palestinian territories, there is a sense of imminent unravelling born of misjudgment and long-term neglect. President-General Pervez Musharraf's "second coup" was a personal rebuff for the US secretary of sta …

2007-10-31 12:50  E' il modo, non il medium
Rick Milenthal in questo interessantissimo articolo ci da una conferma sull'evoluzione nei processi di fruizione dei media da parte di un'utenza sempre più smart e sempre più consapevole. "Spending time with consumers in the real world, where and when they actually engage with media, enabled us to see that when they spend time with media, they do it with a purpose, goal or need that drives their behavior. They enter different modes, or mind-sets, that drive their choices, actions and receptivity …

2007-10-22 22:45  COHA Report. The Organization of American States: On its Deathbed
To Our Readers Unfortunately, an older and unedited version of the COHA piece entitled œThe OAS: On its Deathbed � was inadvertently sent out to a very small cohort of COHA readers on October 17 before an error was discovered and the press run was immediately aborted. Due to a computer editing error, the author, Sean Bartlett did not catch that two different facts were spliced into one sentence. Jose Miguel Insulza, as a young man in his late twenties, was a political director in the Chilean For …

Another liberal competes in the arena of ideas by opting out of the debate once his ideas are challenged. About every other week or so I get an email from someone identifying him/herself with the Liberal or œProgressive � Left that reads something like this:  œYou REALLY believe this shit �  Or, œYou re an Idiot. �  Or, œWhy don t you just vomit and die. �  There s usually no reference to any particular article I ve written, just a little love note from my fans on the other side of the political …

On the web: Hillary Ensnared in Bloggergate Call it "Bloggergate": the subversion of the blogosphere by Democrat money. Because there is little else that will promote their stupid ideas; people don't willingly subscribe to that philosophy unless they have something to gain from it, it would appear.... To be more precise, Bloggergate is the subsidizing of left-wing bloggers with illegal Democrat campaign contributions, laundered through ostensibly "non-partisan" non-profit groups. At a convention …

You may have heard that Comedy Central comdeian and faux conservative blowhard Stephen Colbert, a native of South Carolina, announced yesterday that he's running for president : He says he'll compete in his home state's primary... or rather, primar ies : Colbert plans to seek the nomination, or at least some delegates, of both parties. (According to CNN, South Carolina's "Republicans are holding their primary January 19, while the Democrats will vote January 26.") My first thought when I heard a …

HR 2102, a House bill that gives the "reporter's privilege" (the right to keep confidential sources secret) to many BVD-clad bloggers, passed the House by a lopsided 398-21 majority. The bill, in the form engrossed as agreed to or passed by the House, defines a "covered person" as follows (Section 4 (2) of the bill): (2) COVERED PERSON -- The term `covered person' means a person who regularly gathers, prepares, collects, photographs, records, writes, edits, reports, or publishes news or informat …

2007-10-17 03:20  Another Law Lesson: The Basics of Defamation
A few years ago, I thought about writing on the topic of defamation and invasion of privacy as they relate to genealogy, but I ultimately decided that there just wasn't enough material there to make it worth the time. Then, somewhat more recently, I wrote something that drew a comment that seemed a bit hostile. But with the sensory limitations of the written form, I couldn't tell if the commenter was merely seeking clarification or was challenging my premises. It then occurred to me that are peo …

The letter he wrote to Rush, with a personal note saying 'stop censoring free speech!'. Here is the plan. Harry Reid went over the top when he sent a letter signed by people in government to Rush's boss, urging him to force Rush to apologize for his "phony soldiers" comment which was about Jesse MacBeth, the phony soldier. We urge you, my readers, those who value the First Amendment, to copy the letter and send it to Harry Reid's office with "Stop Censoring Free Speech!" written across the first …

In addition, the Shi'ites are prevented from building their mosques and Husainiyas with their own funds, an …

2007-10-15 14:55  Is Hillary Really a Corporatist
Blue Lyon took a look at this question yesterday. Blue Lyon states the issue thusly: In Michael Moore's movie, SiCKO, he makes a claim that Hillary is the number two recipient of campaign cash from the health care "industry." On Air America, liberal blogs, and elsewhere, it's an article of faith that Hillary is the "corporate candidate" and that she has their backs, not ours. That is one of the central issues of the Democratic Presidential campaign, at least to me. Blue Lyon explores the questio …

Via the admirable Mr E, I find Matthew Parris offering some sound advice to the Tories. Parris, one of the most urbane journalists working in London, found himself making an argument he didn't, on reflection, quite believe: Here was the wise argument: œDavid Cameron and his Conservative colleagues were entitled to their half-hour of fun at Prime Minister s Questions, at Brown s expense. They landed their punches. But they should not think this will serve as opposition policy for the next two yea …
