Bubble boy under savage metaphor attack
The frightening ' Blowback' that happens when you declare war on proper nouns. Tsk tsk.
Joseph Ellis smashes together second term metaphors with abandon: "Lame ducks that can't enforce discipline on their own party, chickens come home to roost, and you get in a bubble or a cocoon inside your own White House." [Face the Nation] Wonked for links.
• One of the most awesomest things about living in D.C. are the ads for fighter planes on the Metro. Because, you know, sometimes you think, "Well, if I had a couple billion...." Finally, someone explains why those ads exist. [WP]
Newspaper numbers are just fine if you count web traffic - Editor & Publisher
"Newspapers have for the last couple of years been finding whole new pockets of audiences for which they get no credit," says Jay R. Smith, chairman of the Newspaper Association of America (NAA) and president of Cox Newspapers. Jennifer Saba writes: "If you count web traffic, newspapers are actually more popular than ever."
Yeah...and Iraq is just peachy if you DON'T count insurgents ' embedded' in the Iraqi army but we don't buy newspapers any more anyway, least I don't. Just comics...like the Australian.

'...former Canadian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer was his steeling his nation's representative body for apparently imminent encounters with aliens. Hellyer has gotten Canada's Parilaiment to initiate hearings about the implications of such encounters and has also recruited three Canadian NGOs to join forces with him--because, hey, you have to be really bored to be working at a Canadian NGO.
The former defense minister first raised the alarums about the likelihood of new excursions into "exopolitics"--ie., relations with "ethical, advanced civilizations that may now be visiting Earth" back in September, at a speech at the University of Toronto. And oh yes, do we ever have excerpts:
"The secrecy involved in all matters pertaining to the Roswell incident was unparalled. The classification was, from the outset, above top secret, so the vast majority of U.S. officials and politicians, let alone a mere allied minister of defence, were never in-the-loop. . . . The United States military are preparing weapons which could be used against the aliens, and they could get us into an intergalactic war without us ever having any warning. . . . The Bush administration has finally agreed to let the military build a forward base on the moon, which will put them in a better position to keep track of the goings and comings of the visitors from space, and to shoot at them, if they so decide."
Well, you know how it is: We have to fight them on the moon so that we won't have to fight them here. Besides which, we already have it on good authority that the aliens will greet us as liberators...' ( Wonkette )
I swear on the grave of popsicle.
