Conor Friedersdorf: Now Turning the Atlantic into Media Matters Lite?

When Andrew Sullivan jumped ship to The Daily Beast, Conor Friedersdorf stayed behind at the Atlantic, where today he devotes some 1,800 words to Why Rush Limbaugh Is Wrong About Libya. A few sample Conorisms: His commentary has misled his audience, his prejudices have helped to distract the conservative movement from the stance it ought […]

Obama’s NCAA Bracket, Revisited

Tonight, UConn meets the Cinderella boys of Butler in the NCAA basketball championship and, with the finalists set, I decided to take a look back at Obama’s brackets. The first thing to note is how “safe” Obama played it: He picked all four No. 1 regional seeds to make it all the way to the […]

Your Daily Libyan Rebels Update

Let me just start by noting that “Libyan Rebels” would be a great name for a punk-rock band. When last we checked in on the half-assed insurgency, the ill-armed and undisciplined rebels had made a 200-mile retreat to the vicinity of Brega.

Since Obama was inaugurated in January 2009, the number of Americans on food stamps has increased from 32 million to 44 million. Restaurants are contemplating price increases due to the sharp rise in grocery prices. And crude oil prices are near $108 per barrel, the highest since September 2008.

URGENT: BOMB IN DETROIT

The opening show of Charlie Sheen’s “Violent Torpedo of Truth” tour in Detroit was a bomb of historic proportions. People who paid as much as $65 a ticket were booing and walking out. One self-described Sheen fan who came all the way from Toronto for the show said: “He’s making a fool of himself. Is […]
