Headlines Hodgepodge
I had another really long, draining day at work today, so only a couple links for now. Also, if I made any html errors, please let me know. Mwah!
++ Biden's in for 2008. *yawns*
++ Climate change warning for Sydney.
++ Once a dream fuel, palm oil may be an eco-nightmare.
++ Wall Street finds a lot to like about tobacco.
++ NYT looks at an essay by conservative Jewish group which "aggravates already heated dispute over where legitimate criticism of Israel and its defenders ends and anti-Semitic statements begin".
++ Here's a really good op-ed on Andy Stern of the Service Employees International Union, my personal hero of the new labor movement.
++ SEIU says, "Presidential candidates need to walk a day in my shoes to get my support." That's what I'm talking about! Looks like Edwards is the first candidate to agree to the gamble. Hillary, Obama, what's up?
++ Speaking of Obama, this makes me all giddy:
These are chilly days on Capitol Hill ... and on the campaign trail for Fox News journalists -- at least when they're anywhere near Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).
Sources tell The Sleuth that the Obama camp has "frozen out" Fox News reporters and producers in the wake of the network's major screw-up in running with the erroneous Obama-the-jihadist story reported by Insight magazine.
"I'm still in the freezer," one Fox journalist said, noting that the people at Fox "suffering the most did nothing wrong." (It was "Fox and Friends" host Steve Doocy who aired the Insight magazine piece, which reported that operatives connected to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) found out that Obama, as a child, was educated at a Muslim madrassah in Indonesia.)
Well really, WTF did Fox expect after airing that complete bullshit propaganda hit piece on him?!?
