Meeker On Media: March 2007
http://meekermedia.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 31, 2007. Part 2: Media coverage of current events. Dr Wade Locke is an economist who has conducted considerable research into the failed Hebron project. He says the precise benefits from the development, had it proceeded, would be hard to measure, due to the various factors involved (such as oil prices) and the lack of precise information on the deal that was almost reached. But he does feel that there are consequences associated with the failure of Hebron. 8220;The first time we rolled ...

Offal News: Iran election
http://offalnews.blogspot.com/2009/06/iran-election.html
Monday, June 15, 2009. One country I have yet to visit that I really want to visit is Iran. And the recent election, where Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was "reelected" in a landslide only makes me want to visit even more. From holding rallys and the leaders are under house arrest. It seems unlikely that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was "reelected". With a 62% margin even in the hometown of the oppistion leader. The situation in Iran is complex. Even the media-described "liberal" factions ar...

Offal News: Dirty politics
http://offalnews.blogspot.com/2006/10/dirty-politics_29.html
Sunday, October 29, 2006. Just when you thought that politics was a game where the dirt angle was as fully explored as it could be, this article appears in the New York Times. October 28, 2006. In Clean Politics, Flesh Is Pressed, Then Sanitized. WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 — Campaigns are filthy. Not only in terms of last-minute smears and dirty tricks. But also as in germs, parasites and all the bacterial unpleasantness that is spread around through so much glad-handing and flesh-pressing. That has become rout...

Offal News: June 2010
http://offalnews.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 09, 2010. Uniting the Left II. I've already posted my thoughts on this issue before. And nothing since then has improved the idea. It made sense for the PCs and Reform (or Alliance or whatever) to combine because they had been one party for most of the 20th century. But even after merging they still can't seem to attract much more support than one-third of the population. Posted by Simon Lono. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Offal News: Political health
http://offalnews.blogspot.com/2007/11/political-health.html
Friday, November 23, 2007. Politics is not just economics and public policy and ethics and other such stuff on a high abstract plane. Sometimes, issues facing politicians are simple and personal. Things like whether or not to use hand sanitizer. When you're shaking hands all day. On a similar theme of political health comes this story in the New York Times. On the hazards of campaign food. Those wanting to be president must never, ever refuse or fumble the local specialties, lest they repeat the sins of.

Offal News: May 2009
http://offalnews.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 12, 2009. Ruby Dhalla and editorial discretion. Newspaper photo editors have enormous discretion in the photos they select to illustrate stories. And when it comes to young and comely politicians, the range of possibilities can be wide indeed. As it turns out, it was used to illustrate a story on the world's most physically attractive female politicians. Consider the media choices of illustrating photographs pre-nannygate and post-nannygate. Can you tell which is which? Posted by Simon Lono.

Offal News: April 2010
http://offalnews.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 27, 2010. I've commented from time to time on the mechanics of political health. In this case I don't mean the health of the larger body politic but rather the health of bodies of politicians. For example, the use of hand sanitizer during campaigns. Has been the subject of some commentary. Some argue they are necessary to keep the politician from catching colds or worse while others claim that hand sanitizers insult voters. Then there is the issue of eating on the campaign trail. After a w...
