The Dumb-Ass-O’-The-Day award goes to Noel Sheppard of NewsBusters. Noel watches a video of Rachael Maddow mocking Gov. Christie for making a simple math error, and then concludes that she makes THE VERY SAME ERROR as Gov. Christie. Could it be? (I mean, outside of a Wingnut wet dream?) [...]

All I can say to this is, YOU GO GIRL!

My nomination is for this one by Josh Marshall.

If you ask me, this is far more likely to be something the CIA set up…. But it does raise an interesting legal issue. Can one be prosecuted—or, worse yet, declared an enemy combatant—for “friending” bin Laden? And is this worse than being a “follower” on an alternative medium?

When I read this Wall Street Journal editorial on the Minnesota Senate race this morning, I was annoyed by the abundance of factual inaccuracies and the amateurish feel. It was written at the level of an inexperienced—and angry—blogger whose high emotional state has prevented an objective examination of facts.
It looks [...]

Congrats to Goldy and Horsesass for earning the title of Washington state’s best political blog from Chris Cillizza.
(Full disclosure…I blog there, too, but it’s, like, totally Goldy’s doing…totally. Really.)

Following a 146 year run, a fond farewell to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer print edition.
And best wishes to the scaled down, cyber-savvy, web edition.

It is thanksgiving day and I just don’t have my head into blogging. But I would like to take a few moments in the spirit of the day to share with you what I am thankful for.
I am thankful for my partner of 16 years, Kathy, who has indulged me over the last several [...]

I spent election evening in Seattle’s Montlake Alehouse—I mean, it was a Tuesday, and I spend every Tuesday at the Alehouse for our weekly meeting of Drinking Liberally. It was a bit more crowded last night
Jesse Wendel, publisher of the Group News Blog, and something of a regular at DL, was there as well. [...]
