Apparently, James Wolcott, premiere columnist for Vanity Fair, came across this recent highly-recommended Daily Kos diary and had a little advice for its author:

Hate Radio Station KSFO Hijacks San Francisco SPCA Webcams

Every Christmas, the San Francisco SPCA takes over the "holiday windows" of a big department store in downtown San Francisco and populates them with adoptable animals. Not only are literally hundreds of dogs and cats adopted, but thousands of people line up just to see the animals in their holiday setting. This year, they've been streaming video from webcams in the various windows on their website, so even more people can enjoy the cute little animals.

Today when I checked the site, I was appalled to discover that this little bit of holiday cheer had been hijacked by notorious right-wing hate radio station KSFO.

Via AP:

House Democrats threatened Monday to hold President Bush's key confidants in contempt of Congress unless they comply with subpoenas for information on the Justice Department's purge of federal prosecutors last winter.

The White House shrugged off the ultimatum...

Thanks, Nancy. Thanks, Steny. And let's not leave out Patrick Leahy, Charles Schumer, and, of course, Harry Reid.

Several blogs I enjoy and admire are up for "honors" in the "2007 Weblog Awards". I, however, will not be voting for any of them.

Why?

Because the sponsoring website, Wizbang, is a right-wing propaganda site.

Just posted at SFGate.com:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rebuked a fellow San Francisco Bay-area liberal Friday for what she said were "inappropriate" comments about Iraq during a congressional debate.

During a debate on children's health care Thursday, Rep. Pete Stark accused Republicans of sending troops to Iraq to "get their heads blown off for the president's amusement."

Condemnations rolled in from Republican politicians, right-leaning bloggers had a field day, and a White House spokesman declined to "dignify those remarks" with a response.

Pelosi issued a statement Friday evening rapping Stark, who is in his 18th term representing the liberal East Bay. He's California's longest-serving House members.

"While members of Congress are passionate about their views, what Congressman Stark said during the debate was inappropriate and distracted from the seriousness of the subject at hand — providing health care for America's children," Pelosi said.

On Monday, Chris "Tweety" Matthews pimped Ann Coulter's appearance on his show Tuesday with the words "Say what you will about her - she sells books!"

So does she really? Let's look at Amazon's Top 100 Non-Fiction Political books list (updated hourly, so these positions may change somewhat).

John Edwards: "My Wife Said WHAT?"

Elizabeth Edwards came to San Francisco's Gay Pride event yesterday and gave her complete and unequivocal approval to gay marriage:

Elizabeth Edwards, starring at the kickoff event of San Francisco's Gay Pride Parade, came out in support of legalized same-sex marriage Sunday -- taking a position that she acknowledged is at odds with her husband, presidential candidate John Edwards.

"I don't know why somebody else's marriage has anything to do with me," she said. "I'm completely comfortable with gay marriage"...

Edwards said she has come to the conclusion that the marriage of another couple "makes no difference to me," just as it would make no difference in her opinion of a neighbor if he painted his house a different color.

"If he's pleasant to me on the street, if his children don't throw things in my yard, then I'm happy," she said. "It seems to me we're making issues of things that honestly ... don't matter."

You probably read about it yesterday, or this morning. It made a lot of the papers and news services. One place you wouldn't read about it: John Edwards' website.

"Stomach virus" my ass!

President Bush came down with a stomach ailment Friday at the G-8 summit in Germany and is resting in his room.

"I'm not sure if it's a stomach virus yet or something like that," Dan Bartlett, counselor to the president told reporters. "He's just not feeling well in his stomach,"

The News Blog has a PayPal link to help Steve Gilliard's family with the cost of his funeral:

http://www.thenewsblog.net/

Funerals cost an arm and a leg. A guy like Gilliard probably doesn't have any sort of life insurance. His family, along with being devastated at their loss, now has to come up with several thousand dollars.

Help if you can.

I really don't know anything about how Wikipedia works, but I was (for lack of a better word) stunned to go to Steve Gilliard's entry yesterday to find this notice at the top:

This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy.

Looking for more information on why this would be considered, I found this:

Non-notable blogger Naconkantari 05:03, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

So Gilliard's body is barely even cold and someone has to jump in to try and erase him from Wikipedia. If he's such a "non-notable" entity, why the big rush?
