Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Protest This:
IF I had known they were going to be pepper spraying leftist rabble, I woud have cleared my calendar and attended the Inauguration.
At any rate, the 1st Season of the A-Team just showed up on DVD from Amazon, so I will see you all tomorrow.

I never thought I’d say this, but the old Atrios/Daily Kos echo-chamber that captured my attention for so long has gotten just a wee bit stale. I’ve been shopping for some more oft-readable blogs, and now I’m ready to share…

There’s nothing like a fire hose shower on a cold winter’s day to make you reexamine your priorities.

Making it, at the end of the day, all the more impressive that so many of them stayed.
Still, glad to see relatively few reports of beatings, etc.
Toren
The only beatings I read about were committed by the leftists, pounding on the Protest Warrior demonstrators.

Yeah, all 13 of Protest Warriors v. a mob. Meanwhile, as if CBS weren’t biased and unbalanced enough, look at what ABC was up to today:
ABC’s Inauguration Plans-
The blogosphere catches Big Media trying to pull another fast one.

OVER AT POWER LINE, John Hinderaker has found one of the most egregious bits of media bias yet recorded. (Hinderaker found the story at a smaller blog, The San-Antonio Express-News Watch.) It seems that yesterday ABC News posted a call on its website for help from readers:
Jan. 19, 2005–For a possible Inauguration Day story on ABC News, we are trying to find out if there any military funerals for Iraq war casualties scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 20. If you know of a funeral and whether the family might be willing to talk to ABC News, please fill out the form below:
(ABC took down the request, fortunately the blog Captain’s Quarters copied the page first.) ABC tried to pass this off as “Honoring Fallen Heroes on Inauguration Day.” But Hinderaker notes that the specificity of ABC’s request gives away the game. “Note,” he says, “that only the families of Iraqi war dead need apply. If a soldier died in Afghanistan, or aiding tsunami victims in Indonesia or Sri Lanka, or in a training exercise, never mind. That isn’t the ‘balance’ ABC is looking for.”
While it is shameful for ABC to even have issued such a request, simply pulling it down and trying to bury the incident in the memory hole is even more dishonest. It seems like some in the mainstream media have yet to learn from CBS’s mistakes.

John – I’d be curious to hear about what you thought of the President’s speech today.
