A few thoughts.....

* John Cole, on the Masters Tournament...

That back nine was non-stop insanity...
Dude. It was golf. However "exciting" a game of golf might be - and I use the word "exciting" very loosely - it most certainly does not produce "insanity".

Except, perhaps, in the same sense that Chinese Water Torture produces insanity. That, I could go along with.

* Via Pejman, a Boston Herald story sums up the PDB with this...

In short, much of this "shocker'' could have been put together by any semi-literate Web surfer who Googled bin Laden - which sadly says much about this government's intelligence operations prior to Sept. 11.
Sadly, many semi-literate web-surfers still seem to think this is new information.

* Captain Ed and Co. take it beyond the blogosphere....

Hugh Hewitt has graciously asked us to fill in for him on his nationwide show on the Salem Radio Network on Tuesday, April 13th, and Wednesday, April 14th!
This is, potentially, very big. For the life of me, I don't understand why more radio hosts and personalities are not exploiting blogs - for research, or as a blogger - more publicly. There's just too much untapped gold in these hills. One can only hope that this temporary fill-in role will soon expand, and that bloggers will be utilized more and more.

The same goes for political campaigns. The sheer amount of opposition research done on the blogosphere could save them a pretty penny....

* Cam Edwards....

Beginning this Friday, April 16th I'll be the new host of NRAnews.com. This is a daily news/talk show broadcast from 2-5 p.m.....covering politics, the culture war, media bias against guns, and highlighting some of the stories that the mainstream media doesn't cover.
Good for him. I seem to recall some fuss made by Democrats when the NRA initially proposed their own radio network. Something about skirting the campaign finance laws. Presumably, with their own Air America, they'll be forced to seethe quietly.

* Marc scores a Visitor from the Dark Side....

Dude, I think Cheney's on to me! I was checking my site meter and golly if I didn't get a visitor from halliburton.com!

I must be part of some sort of conspiracy now! Can't wait for the checks to start rolling in. Or the oil, or whatever...

All I ever get is visitors from the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration. Damnit, what do I have to do to get a piece of that crony action?!?!

I don't want to hear it from you, Mr "I paid 63k in taxes". You were obviously one of Bush's buddies, receiving your tax cut money directly from the mouths of starving children. You've been paid back.

This VRWC - it's all so disorganized.

dude, the conspiracy is so disorganized that I didn't even know I was in it. Cheney sure is good at secrecy...

Maybe "crony" is too high to aim for. Perhaps you should settle for "minion." Don't know what the pay scale is.
