Odds & Sods #31: Muckraking Edition

  • TPMmuckrakers have swarmed the 3,000 page DoJ document dump like a bunch of hungry ants and dismantled it tout de suite. The result? Oh, baby -- lots of juicy tidbits for sure.

  • Gonzalez cancels a Thursday meeting with a House committee. Will he really still be here by then...or not?

  • Enough already with Web 2.0.

  • Mitt's Macaca Moment? Poor baby. Let Ann kiss it and make it better.

  • Obama says it wasn't anyone in his campaign that did the now ubiquitous Mac-1984/Hillary mash-up. Whoever it was, it's done pretty well -- check out the Obama logo on the girl's tank-top. Cool.

  • M.J. Rosenberg cries foul when Hamas gunmen kill an Israeli electrician -- but only because he was attacked inside the pre-1967 borders of Israel. This is exactly the kind of pointy-headed intellectual drivel I so hate from otherwise sensible liberals.

  • Ditto Kristof.

  • Holy crap! Even more juicy tidbits from the DoJ document dump.

  • Anybody here hang out at Flixster?

  • Apparently Heather Mills made quite an impression last night. Anyone see it?

  • That new glass-bottom observation deck at the Grand Canyon gives me vertigo just reading about it: it projects 70 feet out beyond the cliff's edge and you can see 4,000 feet straight down to the bottom of the Canyon.

  • Despite what Tony Snow says, there is apparently no precedent barring White House staff from testifying in front of Congress.

  • While they were rationalizing about dumping selected US attorneys, insiders at the DoJ were ready to rank Patrick Fitzgerald as "not distinguished." If any of the ones that they DID fire were half as professional as Fitz, then for sure these hacks at Justice (and the WH) were out of control.

  • This is weird: among 454 likely Democratic primary voters in Michigan, Sen. Hillary Clinton leads Sen. Barack Obama 45%-29% in a statewide primary. It's weird because I know lots of people in Michigan and I haven't met anyone yet that admits to wanting Hillary to get the nomination. Ditto Louisiana.
