...Bangkok Recipe for An Ouster After withstanding months of protests and calls for his resignation, Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej was ultimately forced from office Sept. 9 on a technicality. According to a court ruling, Samak's gig as an occasional host of a TV cooking show violated a conflict-of-interest article in the Thai constitution that prohibits the Prime Minister from having a job outside of official duties. Yet just as soon as Samak was removed, his party declared its intention to renominate him, a move likely to perpetuate Thailand's political unrest. Samak's detractors allege...
...Staunchly anti-Palin, the blog includes a series called "Saradise Lost" - criticizing the governor's stances and alleged misdeeds in office - and posts from guest bloggers including Alaskan radio host Shannyn Moore...
...AIDS, and as a "yard boy." That's how she met Susan Mikula, an artist who has been her partner for the past eight years. On a dare, Maddow auditioned as an on-air personality for an Amherst radio station and got the job. She served as morning host on Northampton's WRSI for two years until the Air America start-up in March 2004. For a year she co-hosted the mid-morning Unfiltered, then filled the milkman's 5 to 6 a.m. slot, got promoted to a two-hour show starting at 7 a.m., and finally made...

Air America originally hoped to lure audiences with brand names from other media: Saturday Night Live's Al Franken, rapper Chuck D., comedian-actress Janeane Garofalo. But radio talk is an acquired skill, and the two Air Americans best at it were both radio veterans: Randi Rhodes and Maddow. Rhodes, a hard-line humorist who mixed Michael-Savage-of-the-left analysis with Belle Barth earthiness, was AAR's top-rated host when she lost...
...What she radiates - at least, what it sure sounds like - is an essential decency. Obviously there's an ego in there, but she seems genuinely modest (a rare attribute for a TV or radio host) and self-deprecating in a wry but not flagellating way. A self-proclaimed "civics geek," "policy wonk" and "prude," she will often dare to be square. On Wednesday's radio show Maddow acknowledged that whenever she hears The Star-Spangled Banner, "I immediately start to weep." Then she cut to a live feed of the convention's nominating roll call, and as New York State...
