Educating Mr. Wright: Man, it is a tough job, but somebody's got to bring these eggheads up to speed. ... 6:09 P.M. ___________________________ Mrs. Russert Blogs: Maureen Orth notes that "Elvis's death in 1977 rated two paragraphs in People Magazine." But, if memory serves, that's not entirely because the culture of celebrity wasn't well-developed back then (Orth's point). It's because in 1977 Elvis was not such a big deal. ... P.S.: Why isn't Orth blogging for HuffPo? Memo to Arianna: She seems like a natural fit. Memo to Orth: It's not bloggy to let a few little disagreements get in the way of mutually beneficial traffic-sharing. Enmity is so print. The Web's win-win! ... There, I've brought them together.... 12:56 A.M. ___________________________ Wednesday, August 22, 2007 New Orwell on Offense: Andrew Sullivan excoriates pundits who exhibited "spectacular misjudgment about the war in Iraq," something that he says "should consign the author to irrelevance." Fair enough.** [But Sullivan excludes anyone who "explicitly explained why he was wrong and apologized," and Sullivan has apologized, abjectly--ed.
Republicans trade harsher charges as top Democrats wrangle over ...
I sincerely hope people will see through these sneaky tactics the sheer numbers of Obamabots who DISPROPORTIONALLY FLOOD to all these articles with message boards attached to them, are using. Also, does anyone else see the contradiction between Obama's message of "unity", & these nasty, uncivilized, & vitriolic Obamabot attacks of Hillary on these online article message boards? It's my estimation this was all a very well constructed attack plan by Oprah's gigantic, & extremely well oiled multimedia machine, when she decided to influence the next presidential election, with her power parlay move. And to these same throngs of mindless Obamabots who keep bringing up this "experience issue" when comparing Hillary to Obama, one only has to compare the first day of occupancy of the next couple to get into the White House with all previous couples who've occupied the White House to understand how experience matters.
Hardware High-Def Sales Tip Towards Blu-ray Disc Following Warner ...
Warner's announcement at CES 2008 regarding its high-definition allegiance appears to have an immediate effect on the buying tendencies of the consumer market. Throughout 2007, Blu-ray Disc sales have consistently outsold HD DVD by a factor of around double; but starting the week coinciding with CES 2008 up to January 13, those numbers shifted noticeably further in Blu-ray Disc's favor. According to numbers from Nielsen, reported by Home Media Magazine, Blu-ray Disc sales were 85 percent of the high-definition split. The 85/15 split between the two rival formats represented the largest gulf yet, according historical data charted in the High-Def Digest forums. Of the top ten best-selling high-definition movies for the week, all were Blu-ray Disc. For the major new releases on each format, 3:10 To Yuma on Blu-ray Disc and The Kingdom on HD DVD, the former outsold the later by ten-fold.
