Alterman - Slacker Friday

[dArKeR]

I’ve got a new “Think Again,” called “ As Goes Kansas,” which is inspired by Tom Frank’s new book, here. 

Also, if you’re in Boston next week, The Nation and the American Prospect are sponsoring a couple of showings of “Outfoxed” on Tuesday, July 27 at the Brattle Theater in Cambridge.  The first showing will be at 5:30 PM and Mike Tomasky and I will speak briefly afterwards. There will be a later showing as well. 

Feeling the "fair and balanced" heat, Fox News now insists it was tough on Bush during the final days of the 2000 campaign.  Boehlert doesn't buy it.

Now here’s our hometown boy.

Hey Doc --
So, it was the acronyms who did it.

CIA, FBI, NSC, but not the NSA, God knows. DOT. DoD. The acronyms did it. Fire all the acronyms.

I don't know at what point my head exploded. Maybe it was when Tom Kean was complimenting Bill O'Reilly on the latter's analytical abilities, or when Condi Rice was waxing all serious with Sean Hannity.
