Here’s what the incoming anchor at NBC News thinks of bloggers (sorry, no permalink):

Mr. Williams

I haven’t been tracking the news from Ukraine closely, but this seems like big news, and good news.

Journalists on Ukraine’s state-owned channel – which had previously given unswerving support to Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych – have joined the opposition, saying they have had enough of “telling the government’s lies”.

Instapundit has a list of sites where you can support our troops, for whom we should be thankful not just today, but every day.

And here are a couple sites that you can go to to support our allies, the British troops. Given the current anti-war mood over there, they may not be getting as much support from home as ours are.

If anyone knows of any similar sites for the other members of the coalition, please let me know.

…over at The Corner. Just Control-F “Cranberry.” (If you’re reading this in the (more distant) future, go back to the November 24th, 2004 archives.)

In the meantime, I’m appalled that Jane Galt peels her mashed potatoes.

Inspired by this post, Scott Ott has the appropriate take.

It’s said that in ancient Rome, when the Emperor was in a parade in his chariot, basking in the cheers of the throngs, he always had a slave standing next to him to whisper in his ear, “Remember sire, thou art but a man.” The blogosphere needs one of those occasionally as well.

With apologies to the Bard:

Why, man, they doth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus, and we petty men and women
Walk under their huge legs and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves….
Now, in the names of all the gods at once,
Upon what meat doth these our bloggers feed,
That they are grown so great?

Lots of people are claiming that Dan Rather stepping down from his anchor chair next spring is a victory for bloggers. But this isn’t really news–there were rumors of it in September. Admittedly, that was after Memogate broke, but I thought that Rather was going to be retiring in ’05 regardless, and there had been rumors of his impending retirement of at least the anchor chair for years.

If he were to step down now, and the reason stated was because of Memogate, that would be a blogosphere victory, but this just looks like what was planned all along. He continues to do Sixty Minutes. I don’t see that he’s being punished at all. Or am I missing something?

Both current and prospective. The book is out. Just in time for Christmas.
