2008-05-07 07:16:00 So the Washington Post is calling it for Clinton. Oh well. I can be happy with Obama?s 49.3% (95% reporting). Hard for Clinton to maintain her tired demographic arguments. Indiana doesn?t have that many black people. Gotta figure some white workers voted for Obama too. (1:17 AM, EST) (Numbers from the New York Times)

Even The Washington Post Notices That Anti-Iraq/WoT Films Suck
2008-03-25 12:59:00 It’s been said so many times, but, during WWII, filmmakers were actually rooting for America to win. Now, they release films and put snarky commentary into TV shows to root for America’s defeat, and highlight how mean and bad and at fault we are (Washington Post) After five years of conflict in Iraq, Hollywood seems to have learned a sobering lesson: The only things less popular than the war itself are dramatic films and television shows about the conflict. A spate of Iraq-themed movies and TV shows haven’t just failed at the box office. They’ve usually failed spectacularly, despite big stars, big budgets and serious intentions. The underwhelming reception from the public raises a question: Are audiences turned off by the war, or are they simply voting against the way filmmakers have depicted it? Personally, I think they completely misunderstand their audience, which obviously does not include those who actually root for America to win. Liberal/progressive/Su...

Redistricting Fever: Hey, who told the Washington Post people were upset ab
2008-02-28 15:34:00 In anticipation of tonight's awesome meeting at which the Fairfax County School Board will decide whether to redistrict South Lakes High School into what folks in transitional neighborhoods like the ghetto-like, $758,000-a-home Oakton Heights might call a magnet reeducation center for affluent children, kind of like the classic 1980s movie Richie Rich, only a) without MacCauley Culkin and b) with slightly more focus on IB, the Washington Post ran a front-page story about this whole sordid mess. Guess what they figured out? People are upset!At least they clued into how damaging all these months' of back-and-forth about band programs, Bratz dolls, and vaguely racist anonymous message board comments have been, using the Fox Mill neighborhood as an example:For months, Fox Mill parents have managed an uneasy peace, smiling across driveways, agreeing to disagree. But lately, tempers have flared. About two weeks ago, board member Kathy L. Smith (Sully) proposed an alternative -- to split...

Calling Out The Washington Post
2007-12-26 15:31:00 I am having some problems with The Washington Post recently. It has nothing to do with the content or any of the writers, just the manner in which the paper is delivered. I am a Sunday only subscriber and regularly read part of the daily paper on the Post?s website. On Sunday, December 16, I received the paper at 9:30 A.M. To me, that is unacceptable. You see, my brother was a paperboy and he regularly delivered the Saturday and Sunday newspapers before 7:00 A.M. When I had to fill in for him or took over a route from a friend when he was on vacation, the paper was also delivered early. I was awake around 8:00 on the 16th, and would have liked to have read the newspaper before I left my home at 10:00. Since I was out all day, I barely touched the paper.I was away this past weekend, so I requested a vacation stop. Nevertheless, the Post delivered the coupon section on Saturday (we left on Saturday morning and the coupons were on our door step) and the Sunday paper on Sunday....

HousingPANIC makes the Washington Post (along with a bunch of pissed off HP
2007-12-07 12:27:00 Good morning Congressmen, Senators and members of the Bush Administration. We're the honest and prudent people of America, and we have a message for you as it pertains to Federal involvement in bailing out housing gamblers, mortgage fraudsters and failed flippers:WE'RE PISSED OFF, WE VOTE, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT!!!!!Those Who Avoided Risk Call Plan A Raw DealThe agreement has sparked bitterness and anger among those who either sat out the housing boom or endured friends' snickers when they stuck with a traditional mortgage and a smaller house. To some who watched prices rise out of their reach or who moved to cheaper cities, the agreement looks like a penalty for those who didn't gamble.The resentment is apparent on blogs that chronicle the mortgage crisis. It has some Republican lawmakers worried about a backlash.At the blog HousingPanic, the agreement is equated to the attempt in 2005 to save Terri Schiavo, a woman who was in a vegetative state.

Rumors Over Facts: The Washington Post Explains
2007-12-01 16:34:00 Two days ago the Washington Post ran a front page story…check that…ran a front page list of debunked rumors, known in some ethical circles as lies, about Barak Obama, titled: Foes Use Obama’s Muslim Ties to Fuel Rumors About Him Appalled that the Washington Post chose to give a national platform to smears and politically motivated whisper campaigns, I asked if the Washington Post was The New Drudge? I was not alone in my outrage. As cataloged in a diary by psericks, Media Matters pointed out that they, “reported only Obama’s denials of madrassa smear, not media debunkings,” while the Columbia Journalism Review called it, “the single worst campaign ‘08 piece to appear in any American newspaper so far this election cycle.” Even the Washington Post’s own political cartoonist slammed the newspaper, with his caption reading, “So much discussion they ran out of space for the word ‘lies’.&rd...

Tariq Ramadan at the Washington Post
2007-07-25 17:03:00 The Washington Post and Newsweek are pulling out all the stops in their promotion of radical Islamists as “moderates.” Today we get another round of misdirection from the Muslim Brotherhood’s slickest Islamist spokesman, Tariq Ramadan, billed as a “European intellectual”—who&r-squo;s banned from entering the United States, but still gets a venue for his propaganda at one of America’s largest newspapers: On Faith: Muslims Speak Out Blog. It’s just jaw-droppingly outrageous what’s going on here. The Post has recently published Islamist propaganda from the spiritual leader of Hizballah, a Hamas leader, a radical Egyptian mufti, and now the Muslim Brotherhood. Who’s next, Ayman al-Zawahiri, translated by Adam Gadahn? Original post by http://littlegreenfootballs.com-/weblog/?entry=26398&only&a-mp;rss

2007-07-13 03:13:00 Trawick and SondheimTomorrow the Washington Post's Michael O'Sullivan will have this excellent piece on the Sondheim Prize in Baltimore. And O'Sullivan makes a couple of key observations about the two major art prizes in the Mid Atlantic region:The Trawick Prize better watch out. There's an upstart contemporary art award in town, and it stands to give the Bethesda-born competition -- which has been handing out $14,000 in prize money to artists from Maryland, Virginia and Washington since 2003 -- a run for its money.Okay, so maybe the Baltimore-based Janet and Walter Sondheim Prize isn't exactly "in town." Now in its second year, the art contest, named for the late Baltimore public servant and civic leader and his late wife, is open to visual artists working in the Baltimore region. (This year that includes two D.C. artists.) Examples of work by the 2007 finalists are on view at the Baltimore Museum of Art. The winner of the Sondheim Prize's $25,000 purse, which unlike the Traw...
Positive Hockey Press in the Washington Post?

The views among religious Muslims from CAIR more closely reflect the views of the majority... If this is true, Abdo should be anything but happy

2007-01-26 22:18:01 Photos and LiesThe Washington Post's Michael O'Sullivan has a really good marriage of two photographers' works in this review in today's WaPo.O'Sullivan reviews "Self Possesed" (through Feb. 24 at Adamson Gallery in DC) and "Mini-Matic" (through Feb. 3 at Fraser Gallery in Bethesda, MD).About "Self-Possesed" O'Sullivan writes:"While the photographs are attributed to Prince, the show's publicity gives top billing to Mann, and, sure enough, in several of them she's holding the shutter release cable herself."And he adds about "Mini-Matic"A series of black-and-white photographs by Doug Sanford touches on a somewhat different interpretation of truth and lies in Fraser Gallery's group show "Mini-Matic." Using shots of printouts of angry e-mails sent by the artist's former girlfriend -- on whom he had cheated -- the works feature enlarged passages of text illustrating such hell-hath-no-fury passion as "I. Hate. You." and "I hope you suffer horribly" and "I know you're just conco...

2007-01-24 16:14:02 If you don't get itIn 1999 the Washington Post sent out a letter to all their subscribers detailing some major changes in the paper which were designed to improve the newspaper itself. The letter, signed by Donald Graham, the publisher of the Post, asked for feedback and opinions, and so I wrote them the below letter. In the letter I not only expressed what I thought were shortcomings in the WaPo's arts coverage, but also gave the WaPo several ideas for improvement.Sadly, since then coverage has only become worse. The "Galleries" column is now published about 20 times a year instead of weekly, and "Arts Beat" is also no longer weekly, but apparently ad hoc.All of the names mentioned in the letter have since left the Post, retired, or been replaced, but by a freelancer and by a chief art critic who does not write about Washington, DC art galleries and artists.If you don't get it, you don't get it.January 27, 1999Donald E.
