Anwyn of Anwyn’s Notes in the Margin has lost something near and dear to her:

I May Scream
I’m behind on my editing. I’ve finished the red-pen work on the hard copy, but after that I have to do notes and bibliography electronically, in Word documents. I’ve been working feverishly on the notes, working in the morning and thus taking time away from my son (I usually work after he’s in bed, but I procrastinated), and I got it done today.

I’d been using Ctrl-S all along, saving every few pages. I hit Ctrl-S one last time and closed the document. Then I had a cold chill. The document was an attachment from my boss, and I realized I hadn’t saved it as a separate document but was making changes right there in the attachment. Well, no big, Ctrl-S Saves, right?

This isn’t a sour grapes thing because we’ve never cared about appealing to the type of people who decide who gets in these award things anyway. Ours is a group blog where we all blog under one name, we are frequently belligerent with blogs on both sides, there is too much NSFW stuff, the entire format is too scattered and unfocused: serious stuff right next to questionable humor and fake news stories.

More of this needs to get out in the open. Kudos to Stossel for having the guts to speak truth to power. I am so fucking sick of Hollywood and LameStream Media types claiming to ‘speak truth to power’ by slamming President Bush and lying about Glowball Warmening and scaring the kids. Its criminal. Thank god for scientists like the ones in this piece that speak up.

Beauchamp [bou-champ] :

–noun
1. the act of fabricating or fantastically elaborating facts to create a news story or article, which is then presented as a true representation of the facts as they actually occurred. Usually used to prove a political point or to construct or reinforce a left-wing “narrative”. Slander, hyperbole, neologisms and “Gross Exaggerations and Inaccurate Allegations” are some of the main characteristics of a Beauchamped news article.
2. a story so fabricated or invented

I keep seeing Cubs fans cry about the “Cubs Curse” and bemoan the long stretch since the Cubbies have won a World Series.

Sure, the Cubs haven’t won in a championship in a long time, but you have had your 6 Bulls championships in 8 years not long ago, and the Bears had their Superbowl. The Bears’ 36-point margin over the Patriots was a Super Bowl record until Super Bowl XXIV. They even got a hit record out of it!

The last major sport championship in Cleveland was a combined 115 seasons (baseball, football and basketball) ago, in 1964, before there were superbowls (Cleveland is one of the 3 active teams who has never appeared in, much less won, a Superbowl) when the Browns beat the heavily favored Colts. The closest cities in misery (San Diego and Philadelphia) are 30 seasons behind by that measure.

So John Edwards is a very very good looking man, and he knows it and uses it, and that’s ok.

So John Edwards is a very very good looking man, and he knows it and uses it. Is there really anything wrong with that? And why can’t Republicans handle a strong, smart, cute candidate like Edwards? Why does that threaten them? Perhaps this story sheds some light on this subject.

Atrios is a whiny ass titty baby.

Atrios (you’ll have to google it, I forgot to link) delivers the news flash that Iraq, 4 years in, has not yet mastered a corruption-proof democracy

TNR is seizing on one detail in the Beauchamp documents released by Drudge: Beauchamp never does recant the stories. He just says he won’t say anything either way, defending nor denying them. TNR and Foer is using this as justification to further criticize the Military as the bad-guy stone-walling.

They point out there were military personnel in the room with Beauchamp during the phone call, insinuating he was under duress. So the upshot is, we don’t know what Beauchamp’s present stance is on the veracity of the stories. TNR won’t back away from the stories for several reasons that come to mind: they’ve been burnt by the Steven Glass story and others wrecking their credibility, they don’t want another.

A post over at IMAO points out how white people should quit crying about getting beaten by blacks, they more than likely deserve it and can probably benefit from it.
