Ad Nags
I'm not quite as mad as John about the referenced Ad Nags article. More than anything it reveals what is probably the fundamental issue with Nagourney - he's not a very bright person. Yes it's imbalanced and yes like every other article which mentions blogs it avoids commenting on the racist freak show that is much of the right wing blogosphere.
But, mostly I just come away thinking that Adam's one stupid person.
Remember when the Harriet Miers blog came out and while funny at first it didn't seem quite right because it was hard to imagine that the Harriet Miers character had anything to do with the real Harriet Miers? And then the love letters to the best governor ever came out and suddenly the blog seemed to be a lot more true to form than anyone could have imagined?
After reading that article I feel much the same away about the Ad Nags blog. I always thought it captured quite the essence of Nagourney-the-journalist while not necessarily providing a parody of his actual personality. Now I'm starting to wonder if Nagourney writes it himself.

Slick Rick
Lying freak Rick Santorum says that people in Western Europe have "nothing to live for." I don't know, most of them seem quite happy to me, except maybe the Belgians (joke).
Saturday Music Recommendation
Local band Buried Beds.
You can listen to 3 tracks or download 2 from their myspace site.
And, Tristero composes a new symphony.

Don't Give Up Katie!
Perhaps we should all serenade her with the Peter Gabriel song:
The last of U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris' key staffers appear ready to abandon her campaign for the U.S. Senate in a wave of resignations expected to start this weekend.
Sources close to the campaign said Friday that the defections would touch virtually every level of her operation.
Good News
Usual ballot shenanigans in Pennsylvania thwarted:
Murphy should be on track to beat uber-wanker Andrew Warren in the primary.
A Commonwealth Court judge ruled yesterday that Democratic congressional candidate Patrick J. Murphy can remain on the Bucks County primary ballot.
Murphy, a lawyer and Iraq war veteran, is running against Andrew Warren, a former Bucks County commissioner, for the nomination in the Eighth District. The winner of the May 16 primary will face Rep. Michael G. Fitzpatrick in November.
The challenge to Murphy's nominating petitions was filed by Doylestown attorney Lawrence M. Otter on behalf of Bensalem resident Jane Faust. They argued that Murphy violated the law when he failed to witness each of 96 signatures on one petition. Murphy had signed an affidavit stating otherwise.
