- We are inept (David Warren Online)
In a sense, Obama is hoist on his own petard. The man who blames Bush for everything now finds there are some things presidents cannot do. More deeply, the opposition party that persuades the public government can solve all their problems, discovers once in power there are problems their government cannot solve.
Alas, it will take more time than they have to learn the next lesson: that governments which try to solve the insoluble, more or less invariably, make each problem worse.

- Bill White and the 3 E’s (Musings) I remember how one former-blogger-turned-White-campaign-staffer used to have occasional outbursts/eruptions because he was just certain that all right-leaning bloggers got “talking points” from Republican pols (despite the fact that we’re generally a group that can’t agree on much of anything). That makes it kind of funny to see actual Dem partybloggers lining up to help out with the White talking points.
- On the Media: Las Vegas Review-Journal lawsuits prompt fair use debate (James Rainey, LA Times) Houston’s best blockquoter will be in a lot of trouble if Texas media ever decide the enforce copyright and fair use. As badly as journalism is bleeding, though, I don’t understand why more outlets aren’t trying to protect their content from that sort of almost wholesale reproduction (usually sans any attribution).
