Just a couple things....

- Interesting MSNBC/WaPo article here about Bush reflecting on his tenure as president. It's a pretty good read but it also highlights the stubbornness of Bush and his refusal to truly acknowledge the many mistakes and blunders of his presidency.

- Am I alone in thinking these two could be related?

CNN and the landscape of cable news
Posted on December 4, 2008 at 03:26 PM.
The Mumbai terrorist attacks proved once again that CNN is still the most trusted name in news in a lot of ways. CNN is still the first place most people go for breaking news events.

The Age of Reagan
Posted on November 10, 2008 at 11:54 PM.
Well time to plunge into my favourite topics

The other day I watched a fairly interesting Q&A with historian Sean Wilentz about his book titled The Age of Reagan: 1974-2008.
