Items of interest from the past 36 hours:
1) Idle speculation about hookergate via Kos (hint: in the absence of the proverbial "dead girl" start looking at/for the ubiquitous "live boys") See It Now
(NB: In general you won't find a lot of hookergate news here, since pointing out Republican hypocrisy at the expense of being hypocritical to ourselves isn't worth it, and we don't find prostitution as morally repugnant as most republicans claim to, just kind of icky. Still it's nice to see them hoisted on a petard of their own moral making.)
2) Although the headline reads "US defends new internet wiretap rules in appeals court," the real story is that the judge literally laughed the US out of court: See It Now. Just one more example of failing to let the headline punishment fit the journalistic crime.
3) One more month where the jobs created fail to keep up with population growth, and yet the White House can't seem to figure out why they get no cred for the booming economy: See It Now. It's the jobless recovery, stupid! The only people feeling Bush's 'economic turnaround' are the investors who already loved him anyway. When Joe Thirty-Six Pack isn't afraid to go look for a job, then you get credit.
4) Miss Molly on the "sleeping giant" (o, "el gigante dormido,") she believes the republicans have awakened. See It Now.
5) GWB goes off script, creates a week's work for his own communications shop: See It Now.
Next Week: "Indict we trust" (?!? Knock wood?)
