...unclear if Clinton can pull out a win by convincing voters that journalism's old boys have ganged up on her, but at least the skit crystallized the argument. And if she succeeds, it will be partly by doing something the Bush Administration has perfected: running against the mainstream media. Clinton has spent months arguing that she's the best candidate to beat the gop. With her SNL strategy, maybe she can instead make the case that she's the best candidate to beat the press...
...Rudd said sorry, he did not speak for me. I have nothing to be sorry for. Aboriginal people certainly need government help in health and education, but above all they need to contribute toward their own welfare. This means getting a job, sending their children to school and joining mainstream Australia. James Carney Newcastle, New South Wales...

The central government's inability to control al-Qaeda in its northwestern tribal territories, and concerns over Islamabad's nuclear arsenal, make handling relations with the country a particularly tricky problem. Hence the tumult over Barack Obama's fairly mainstream assertion that he would strike "high-value" terror targets in Pakistan if the leadership there could not. The confusion over when and whether to intervene across sovereign borders shows how little light has been shed on America's policy for responding to weak-state threats during the campaign...
...also not the election the mainstream media may want. We've "done" the Rust Belt stories. As I toured reality in Ohio, the big story in the press was whether the Clinton campaign was responsible for slipping a photo of Obama in Somali Muslim garb to the Drudge Report. No doubt we're going to have a sludge tide of garbage about Obama's provenance and proclivities in the months to come. If the election is dominated by that, we should all be sued for malpractice...
