Not a day you want /. on your side!
It’s bad enough that the half-hour updates to the campaign blog (which have thousands of us hitting refresh every half hour), but to get Slashdot linking to you on the last day of the freakin’ quarter!
(For the non-geeks reading this: this means that anywhere between 5-10,000 geeks all tried to read the campaign weblog at […]
An eerie coincidence
I’ll leave coverage of the Plame affair to the experts (TPM, Atrios, This is Not Funny, Daily Kos are all good places to start), but I did find this to be an exceptionally odd coincidence:
Bob Novak’s original article in which Valerie Plame’s cover was blown. Dateline: July 14. Ari Fleischer’s last press conference. Dateline: July […]
Fundraising update for Q3
The campaign blog notes that we’ve surpassed $13m raised this quarter, and the Washington Post provides an update that notes that Kerry, Lieberman and Edwards will all see declines from their Q2 totals.
This should bring the year to date totals to approximately (Q3 assumptions from PoliticalWire in parentheses):

Jonas shares this wonderful analogy:
California : U.S. :: Italy : Europe
And then he points to this brilliant Flash movie to elaborate. This made my weekend.
Fox News - Journalists or thugs?
There’s a bit of talk on the web about the fact that Fox News posted Tucker Carlson’s unpublished phone number in response to a joke from Carlson (Carlson is co-host of CNN’s Crossfire). Here’s what happened:
Prodded by Paul Begala to give out his phone number during a discussion about the Do Not Call controversy, Carlson […]
Another search engine for your aggregator
I have been a Feedster subscriber for months now — just punch in the RSS feed for a search query, and your aggregator will return to you any results for that query. It’s a very handy way of monitoring what’s being said out in the blogosphere outside of the blogs you normally monitor.
