...After weeks of escalating diplomatic tensions between Russia and Ukraine, including mutual expulsions of diplomats, Medvedev on Aug. 11 unleashed a tirade of complaints in a letter and video blog posted on the Kremlin web site, in which he accused Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko of bringing relations to "unprecedented lows." Since coming to power in 2005 - after mass protests known as the Orange Revolution overturned a ballot rigged in favor of Moscow-backed candidate Viktor Yanukovych - Yushchenko has riled the Kremlin with his attempts to drag Ukraine away from Russia's sphere of influence and toward the West...
...immediately. But as long as there are believable threads there, I have to pursue them. You can't have that kind of collective element operating in your community if it's true." Many Pensacola residents - including journalist Rick Outzen, who first broke the murder-for-hire story on his blog last month - now agree with him. Meanwhile, another friend whom Gonzalez tried unsuccessfully to recruit for the July 9 robbery told police the alleged killer "always acts like he's a thug, you know, a mafia wannabe."

...Ephron's screenplay hints at some distaste for her second lead. She shows Julie's undertaking as a scheme to keep up with a friend who has a successful blog rather than as a pure homage to Child.

Powell belongs to this last category, and cannily the movie lets us see how the wheels turn in her head. Ephron includes Child's real-life reaction to Powell's blog and lets it stand; she doesn't try to turn the two women into soul sisters, an unusual move for the director who has brought us so many happy, tidy endings (Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail). Powell is not devious or awful, but she's not exactly a basket...
...Last week, on one day alone, Lengsfeld's election blog attracted 31,000 hits, with a lot of people leaving positive comments - proof that her racy posters meet the approval of many Berlin voters. And that only adds to the CDU's good news. Even before the posters were put up, Merkel's party was storming ahead in national opinion polls. One recent survey by the Forsa Institute showed the conservative CDU/CSU bloc with 38% of the vote, while the Social Democrats, Merkel's partners in the current grand-coalition government, are trailing with 21%. The conservatives' campaign also...
