Wow, that's interesting -

The same story, but watch the spin -

( Democrats Caught in Apparent Hypocrisy on Intelligence Politics )

Okay, the same story - from another source:

( Republican and Democratic Panel Leaders Take Feud to the Senate Floor )

The first source is from crosswalk.com - the second, from the New York Times.

Yanno, it's times like this I'm glad I got my journalism experience during the Reagan years. The first story, though well-written, is terribly one-sided. The second one is almost a clone of the first, except for its depth in covering both sides of the issue, and staying on the mark for what the real problem is about.

My professor would have smacked my hands, maybe my head with a paper fan ala Sanzo and sent me back to the typewriter to do a better job of it - or discount me as a total idiot and give the story to someone else to write. You stay out of it, as a reporter. YOU. STAY. OUT. You don't get to decide who should get the attention - you have to give both sides equal time. Not equal weight - which the second story did better. It's kind of lame to be asking where they got the memo when the contents are so inflammatory - don't you think?

The Dems are on the fence for putting a plan to oust Bush on paper - even if it was only a draft. The Repubs are on the fence for having that piece of paper, which wasn't common knowledge, published or distributed. How did it come to light?

Somebody who needed to sell soap.

Come to your own conclusions. I'm filing this under "knowing your enemy" - good grief, who would be surprised about anything to unseat or keep seated the existing administration?

She sounds like someone I should have known -

Joan Kroc, 75, died of brain cancer on Oct. 12 in San Diego. She had been a longtime listener of NPR’s local affiliate, KPBS, but had no formal association with NPR or history of funding it. People at NPR said yesterday that she had expressed admiration for NPR’s coverage of the events leading up to the war in Iraq and its reporting of the war itself.

She's left $200 million, cash to NPR. If you're wondering, that's the Joan Kroc who was the widow of Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald's.

She gave a lot of money away, it turns out. Places like the Salvation Army and St. Vincent De Paul. The Carter Center (w00t!) and the University of San Diego.

I wish I'd know her. She met her husband playing piano -

If you haven't noticed lately, I am getting VERY pissed off at having to relive my political adolescence.

VERY vexed.

I mean, who should be missing John Denver, Peter Paul & Mary, John Lennon - that was then, this is now - and now should not be like then! I mean, then SUCKED ROCKS.

When they said "don't trust anyone over 30," they meant it. Of course, that was after we'd spent nearly two decades killing all the males under that age in Vietnam. All of them they could grab off the streets, and all of them that enlisted hoping to avoid it.

And that's just topping the list.

So yeah, I'm mad.
