But this ad uses old-time soul singers and a black announcer urging blacks "have to show…
Mika Brzezinski: 'I'm Hoping' Blaming Bush Will Work
We've gone from "hope and change" to hoping blaming Bush will work. As Joe Scarborough said: at least Mika Brzezinski's honest about it.

'Poor John Bryson!' Even the Papers of Record Didn't Find Him Notable
“Poor John Bryson!” exclaimed the "Reliable Source" gossips at The Washington Post on Wednesday. “Be honest: How many of you could have coughed up the name of the commerce secretary last week, even if a Jeopardy Daily Double were on the line?” (Especially, you, Chris Matthews.)

Where’s the Media Outrage Over Team Obama’s National Security Leak
If Attorney General Eric Holder’s goal was to minimize broadcast network news coverage when he chose late Friday evening to announce a criminal investigation into how damaging national security secrets were released to the New York Times, the media have certainly played along.

Open Thread: The First Obama Fabulist
More than likely, you've already heard about David Maraniss's new book Barack Obama: The Story and news reports that President Obama created a "composite" character of a girlfriend who actually never existed.

Study Claims to Find Holy Grail of Liberalism: Proof That Anti-Obama V
Barack Obama won the 2008 election in an electoral vote landslide, but racism darn near cost him the election - and if he loses this year, it will be because of racism, so says a doctoral candidate at Harvard University.
