Trippi, Kofi, And Bushy

In the past 72 hours the WSJ has printed two articles that have controlled the blogoshpere topics of the day. One very World Wide related, and the other very Web related.

Yesterday it was Democratic Strategist Joe Trippi’s “The Grassroots Can Save Democrats”. And today it’s Senator Norm Coleman’s ‘Kofi Annan Must Go.’ Although the WSJ is a paid content website, these articles are actually free.

Also for a free e-newsletter on politics with a conservative point of view, try Best of the Web Today By James Taranto.

Below is a very funny blurb on ePolitics Taranto included in yesterday’s email.

Bush Arrested?
Google News is a great site, offering an extremely useful search function that finds news stories published on the Internet within the past 30 days. The other delightful thing about it is its automatically generated homepage headlines. If you want to know what the top stories are, you're better off going to a news site that has an actual human editor... but some of the stuff that makes its way through Google's algorithms can be a source of high hilarity.

Example: A left-wing site called Axis of Logic published a satirical (though unfunny) article yesterday titled "Canadians Authorities Arrest U.S. President Bush on War Charges," and it ended up as Google's top story. Seriously. If you don't believe us, click here.

And for the plug, WSJ can send a check to my home or office address.
