Other striking writers have gotten out the scribes' side of the story in blogs and Youtube videos. Daily Show writer Jason Ross delivers an update from the New York City picket lines in the Comedy Central show's signature faux news style, conceding the producers' point that it's hard to measure the value of online content: "Online, intrinsic worth is measured in things like number of tears shed over Britney Spears by a heartbreakingly gay teenager," Ross says, before he is interrupted with a note that Viacom, which owns Comedy Central, is suing Youtube for $1 billion for using...
...Each side has a piece of the truth on its side. With the nation at war, Pentagon bureaucrats have far better things to do than juggle accounts to keep the war machine humming while planning to lay off some 200,000 civilians and contractors if Congress fails to pass a bill acceptable to the White House. But the Administration is encouraging the sense of an impending train wreck, shouting early and often that doom is just ahead.

...electability plus, of course, you first have to pass the electability threshold. There, too, Obama has fresh data on his side.

For the first time, the two sides have appeared capable of resolving the dispute over Kashmir that has been central to their conflict since both emerged as independent states...
...also the exile home of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, whom Musharraf overthrew in 1999. While Benazir Bhutto has returned to demanding that Musharraf resign following the breakdown of the political marriage between them brokered by the U.S., Musharraf may be trying to bring Nawaz Sharif over to his side. A Musharraf pact with Sharif would be even stranger than his short-lived alliance with Bhutto. But regardless of the outcome of the political maneuvering, New Delhi will have to do business with whoever ends up at the helm in Islamabad. That means waiting and watching, and keeping channels...
