When I heard he'd made a positive comment about Michelle Obama (and her bangs), I wondered how long it would be before the rightward leaning blogosphere (and ultimately Fox News) declared him a Democrat.

Came here to post this. Rush and Cain cited him on their shows today.

Woodward just seems like a slimy opportunist to me. I remember reading State of Denial a few years back and, as much as I disliked Bush and Rumsfeld and wanted to agree with everything in it, I was skeptical and instead kept finding myself wondering how Woodward could know half the poo poo he wrote in that book unless he was in the room when it happened. So many passages from it read as if he personally had the Oval office wiretapped. It was like reading Albert Goldman's book on Lenny Bruce.

The right wing media back then (rightfully) pitched a poo poo fit about that book and painted Woodward for what he is, but now I guess he's an unimpeachable source and a free speech martyr because he's hammering on the President and Obama doesn't like it. All of a sudden, Cain and Rush are first amendment champions and for a free press.

And flipping past Fox a few minutes ago, I was greeted with "Woodward vs. the White House: Mainstream Media Choosing Sides."

How is it not clear that Woodward got caught with his pants down and is trying to save face now?

Congress did try and squeak through some half-assed bills that would return funding to some of the more visible government agencies yesterday or today, the stated narrative may be taking this into account.

I think that included a bill for the NIH cancer drug trials, which the GOP will be sure to use to say "the Democrats care more about burdening Americans with new regulations than they do little children!"

They shouldn't be throwing this piece-meal poo poo together, but when their list of demands for a full bill is essentially the 2012 GOP platform, what can the Democrats do? And how can they show people what nonsense this is?

My hometown AM radio man, who caters to racist upper middle class white flight suburbanites in suburban Milwaukee, was convinced that Hillary's latest attacks on Trump's association with alt-right neo-nazis is because she and liberals are terrified that Trump is going to show poor black people the truth that Democrats are the real racists and that welfare is the new plantation slavery. This guy, by the way, is about as orthodox a movement conservative as they come and has been super hostile to Trump over the course of the campaign

"No you!" is pretty much the only come-back they have to pointing out Trump's alt-right ties.

That is the lovely corporate perception, though, and Dilbert has always been about mocking corporate thinking.

Dilbert as a character has changed from being a very bright, more or less decent person who has trouble understanding some social niceties into an rear end in a top hat who lays down sick-burns on strangers.

This sees to have accelerated the wealthier Scottbert has gotten.

So, riots? Yes. Immigrants? Probably. Ongoing crisis of this happening all the time everywhere? No.

So, it's a case of perception equalling reality for people. You can throw data at them, but this is a case that only confirms the bias. Refugees and immigrants, who are predominantly Arabs and North Africans, are responsible for violence. Were they in this case? It looks like it. But are they responsible for all crimes, and all violence, or for a dramatic upswing? No.

So, there's basically nothing we can do to provide any actual context about what happened.

I saw the clip and he really did do a piss-poor job of defending man-made climate change. Tucker Carlson kept trying to pin him down on a question and he'd dodge it. Even if the question was bullshit (the question was "How much of climate change is due to human activity?") Nye should have addressed it rather than just repeating "The science is settled!" and claiming we'd be having another ice age right now if it wasn't for human activity.

And now we get to see this endlessly paraded around by "skeptics" while they ignore actual scientific data.

Not sure what Newsom thinks he can get out of this. I don't see a scenario where Sean runs a fair debate here or doesn't put his finger on the scale. Assuming he's the one coming up with the questions, all I can imagine is "Governor DeSantis, why has your great free state of Florida thrived so much under your leadership?"

"Governor Newsom, why is the state of California such a disaster and why are millions of people fleeing your violent hellscape of a state?
