All of Your Washingon Area Newspapers are Frauds
- The Washington Times. Most Washingtonians know that it is “fair and balanced” in the FOX News sense, meaning that it is run by batshit crazy right-wingers. But it is one thing to reprint Republican propaganda and another thing to email it out directly, which is what your Washington Times did when they sent a fundraising letter for John Boehner to all of their email subscribers. Hey, at least the Post pretends that their newsroom isn’t for sale. (Media Matters)
- Roger Federer defeated Andy Roddick to win his 15th Grand Slam, making him basically the greatest tennis player ever. And as a prize, Federer gets to do bong hits with Michael Phelps. (BBC Sport)
- So Iran, there is still a disputed election going on, not that America cares anymore because Michael Jackson is dead. However, a group of clerics in Qum have denounced the new government as illegitimate in defiance of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. This could get interesting. (New York Times)
- If Sarah Palin resigned to spend more time with her family, why did her father-in-law hear about her resignation by email? Joe Palin says he was fishing when suddenly he saw on his phone that his daughter-in-law was not going to be Governor anymore. When will Sarah Palin sue Joe Palin, for saying things about her on the internet? (People)
