Her email led me to ponder the differences between hype, opinion and journalism, especially in blogs. I’m concerned, because some 84 percent of America ...

The Spectator has excelled itself in stupidity by putting on it’s front page a puff piece boosting Ian Plimer. This was too tempting a target for George Monbiot at The Guardian, so he obliged with a scathing commentary. This led to an exchange between protagonists, reported by Tim Lambert at Deltoid ...

I don’t mind that newspapers write fluff, and frankly, this is well-written fluff. The short, sweet puff piece can fit anywhere in the paper, and a bit about Obama’s trip to Old Faithful may well convince Americans that visiting national parks is superior to visiting, say, Universal Studios.

No take backs now, it’s out there! What if she says yes? Okay, okay, not like that’d happen, but how fun would that be!? Besides, it is a good gimmick segueway to my puff piece on why I think Helen Mirren is 2fab. I just found a picture of Helen Mirren I absolutely adore. It is of her on Oscar night ...

I totally forgot that Doofus Joe Buck was debuting his new show on HBO last night. But as I was channel surfing I found it just in time to see our boy D-Wright and Doofus Joe sit down for an interview.
