:: NEWS COCKTAIL aka BlahBlahBlog ::

"Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day - 23 minutes - and that's supposed to be enough." -Walter Cronkite, RE TV news. The Web has changed that for many, however, and here is an extra dose for your daily news cocktail. This prescription tends to include surveillance and now war-related links, along with the occasional pop culture junk and whatever else seizes my attention as I scan online news sites.

"Spending an evening on the World Wide Web is much like sitting down to a dinner of Cheetos, two hours later your fingers are yellow and you're no longer hungry, but you haven't been nourished." - Clifford Stoll

:: RE Ari ::

From The Seattle PI:
Media will miss doing battle with ...
By HELEN THOMAS

Fleischer, who has taken his share of potshots at the French, recently joked about the fact that his last day in the White House will be ... "Bastille Day," commemorating the French Revolution.

He expressed hope that at his final briefing, he would be accorded "a brief, momentary honeymoon, easy, nice, softball questions, Helen behaving herself, hopefully."

I confess, I did ask Ari some tough questions -- questions I would have preferred to ask the president if he had been accessible, such as: "Why would we kill thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians to take out one man?"

I believe that it is important to pin down official government spokesmen and go beyond their spin to better understand momentous White House moves. It's the job of the media to seek answers and demand accountability from our elected officials on a daily basis. I like to think we do that as surrogates for all of the American people.
