John Cole / Balloon Juice:
When Rhetoric Meets Reality  —  I was talking to Tim via AOL IM, and I decided it was probably worthwhile to bring this up for everyone.  One of the things that is so surprising (for me, at least) about the whole Graeme Frost episode is that rather than make their case against this program …
Ezra Klein:
What Has Happened To The Right?  —  Something has gone wrong on the Right.  Become sick and twisted and tumorous and ugly.  To visit Michelle Malkin's cave is to see politics at its most savage, its most ferocious, its most rageful.  They say they've spent the past week smearing a child …

Rusty / The Jawa Report:
Uh, About that "Leak" That Burned Our al Qaeda Intel  —  I know what the NY Sun and Washington Post are saying about a major source of intel being burned by a leak, but it just isn't so.  Rita Katz and the SITE Institute do a great job, but attributing the interception of this video to them is just false.
Patrick / mediabistro.com:
Matthews on Matthews  —  On today's "Morning Joe," Joe Scarborough asked Chris Matthews if Republican candidates would try to get a "cheap applause line" tonight by pointing to his recent controversial comments.  —  Said Matthews:  —  I've been thinking about that....It's not my stage tonight.

John Tierney / New York Times:
Diet and Fat: A Severe Case of Mistaken Consensus  —  In 1988, the surgeon general, C. Everett Koop, proclaimed ice cream to a be public-health menace right up there with cigarettes.  Alluding to his office's famous 1964 report on the perils of smoking, Dr. Koop announced that the American diet …

Fake News Event of the Day  —  CNN's programming is really pretty weird.  I generally don't catch any of the morning show, but between that and the Situation Room it seems that every day is dominated by some fake news event - a school lockdown, a missing child, a truck accident …

Jonathan Chait / New York Times:
Captives of the Supply Side  —  REMEMBER the Republican presidential debate a few months ago, when three candidates raised their hands to indicate they didn't believe in evolution?  Something just as laughable is likely to happen today, at the first Republican debate on the economy.
Paul Kiel / TPMmuckraker:
DoJ Vote Chief Argues Voter ID Laws Discriminate against Whites  —  When Justice Department lawyers and analysts found in 2005 that a Georgia law requiring voters to have photo ID would disproportionately discriminate against African-Americans, they were overruled by John Tanner …
