Morning Notes
February 11th, 2008Was watching a re-run of Real-Time With Bill Maher and he had the occasionally insufferable occasionally insightful Jonah Goldberg on his show. He mentioned his belief in the government’s recent claim that it’s only use Waterboarding less than a handful of times and none in years. I wrote about that here, noted my skepticism toward that claim (I can hardly fathom that it’s true) but now I want to say, just for the record, that I think their claim is possible and if it is true, then that’s damn good, but I doubt it very much.
Geraldo Rivera wasn’t allowed on CNN recently and now he claims that Fox is being boycotted. Maybe, but maybe they just didn’t want that idiot on their airwaves. He gets far too much air as is.
Articles like this one make you wonder whether or not Hillary has lost the nomination. I doubt it (I think this will, ultimately, be a Dated Dean, Married Kerry type of finish) but we’ll have to wait and see what effect losing seven or eight primaries without winning one will have on Clinton.
On a last note: Yahoo! won’t Yahoo! Microsoft’s attempted bid. Microsoft, with its natural rapist mentality, refuses to accept no for an answer and is going to either sweeten the offer or take it to the streets — the Wall Streets, that is, with an appeal to the shareholders themselves.
