Lott now calling himself a populist on Tweety.

Yeah, a bigoted populist.

Oh, and speaking of bigots, if you haven’t seen this picture of “vandalism” at Virgil Goode’s office, do drop in. It’s worth it.

Tweety all swoony for Trent. Why doesn’t he call him on his Strom-love?

There’s a long tradition of them, RevDeb. Think about the Kingfish, for starters.

Given its history in this country, populist isn’t a label I’d seek or apply to myself.

If Bush wants to open my mail, I expect him to pay my bills, too.

Maybe Lott needs his office decorated like Goode’s?
New Goode Title?

Bush can check my junk mail anyday…. He can have it!

Yeah Tweety has a thing for Lott, but he is pressing him on a straight answer as to whether he supports the Bush/McCain/Lieberman escalation.

Lott bought the package, though he still believes myth of the biological airial spray! He uses the ‘change the status quo’ hairspray pathologically.

Novak is the “Prince of Darkness”? (Tweety)

I thought that title was willingly held by Richard Perle….

Well, maybe not. He asked him a good direct question but did not follow up well, let Lott get away with saying “the status quo has to change.”

You could go either way with that one.

Let me see if I can get this right: Al Gore wins in 2000. Bush contests Florida recount. U.S. Supreme Court hallucinates Bush victory?

Does anybody feel better knowing this past six years has been Rehnquist’s hallucination?

Let’s be clear. If Lott is calling himself a populist and Arnold Gropernater is proposing healthcare for all children in Cali-fawnya, it is clear the political plates are shifting.

That is why the Republican whining is going to hurt them more than it hurts us.

Valintines Day, Ping !

Oh, oh its Magic! You knooooooow…

FYI — Tom Tomorrow is featured on line at Salon Magazine.

While I haven’t been happy with all of Salon’s business and editing decisions, Salon has been a bargain as a subscription because of quality content like Tom Tomorrow and the wonderful premiums it offers (free daily music download, podcast interviews, magazine subscriptions, occasional books, TableTalk userid, etc.)

If it were a choice between Village Voice and Salon — seeing as the better content is clearly in VV’s online edition — I’d have to go Salon. Might be worth telling them you don’t have a compelling reason to stay with their print or online material if you can get compelling content AND Tom Tomorrow elsewhere…food for thought…

GSD @ 60

“Wanna get a pool going on how long before Denny(s) Has-Turd quits the House?”

I would have to check and see how his retirement date would affect his pension.

I have to tell you all. I’m watching some local news (I hardly ever do that anymore) and seeing Deval Patrick at the Shubert Theater with 1,000 high school kids earlier today.

This guy is one to watch. I sense in my deep gut that he will rise much higher than Gov. of MA.

Stay tuned.

Bleah. If this is the best the media can do with a woman in a position of political authority, we might not be ready for Madam President after all.

But she does look lovely. Especially today.

I don’t know quite what the problem is with the Village Voice these days

Two words: New Times.

The Phoenix-based tabloid newspaper chain recently purchased the Village Voice, and then proceeded to fumigate the place with its tiresome brand of kneejerk contrarianism. Mayberry Muckrakers.

The Village Voice, sold itself and and the many very good local weeklies it had purchased over the past 20 years to the cravenly commercial “New Times” conglomerate.

The new owners have wasted no time in absolutely gutting the Seattle Weekly of any intellectually interesting content whatsoever.

All of the major writers quit or were laid off en masse.

Previously when the Village Voice took over the local control of the Weekly about six years ago, it was mostly an improvement over the overly elitist prior owners. Publishing is becoming increasingly unprofitable, and perhaps the Village Voice owners decided to get out while their papers still had readers, rather than marginalize them just to continue making money.

The new owners have no qualms about printing a paper with cheap boilerplate content like “Pet Cemetary” and no expensive reporting of useful information like local news.

They would have to pay a good columnist / reporter to do that. Instead we did get a really hard hitting (NOT!) cover story in the Seattle Weekly on “Cosby Sweaters”. Or a rather insultingly stupid and not-funny “Ask an Uptight Seattlite” column. Meanwhile the other Seattle weekly “The Stranger” remains well written and interesting to read, and apparently finding it easier to sell lots of ads while the Weekly is half the size it was before the sale.

I watched his victory speech after the elections and thought the same thing. He is one of those politicians that can really connect with his audiance and deliver a moving (and honestly heartfelt) speech it seems. I’ll be watching to see where he takes his career in the next few years as well.

I don’t visit the comment threads here often, but since you have to scroll to 80 and 82 to find an on-topic comment, it’s no wonder why.

In any case, regarding the Village Voice takeover by New Times: it is the single most alarming development in the media landscape during the past year. For many years the only reliable place for the left to have a voice in the media at all was in the alternative weeklies. And suddenly it is gone. New Times has destroyed that in the space of a few months. I have seen it here in LA with the LA Weekly. They still publish it every Thursday but there is nothing left to read except a few movie reviews, and even they are suspect. It’s sad and very unfortunate.

I am suprised that there has been so little coverage about what’s happened at the Voice, the Weekly, and other alternatives.
