The stupid job title I ever heard was held by a guy who had failed everything else at the newspaper and finally was ordered to watch TV and report back on important events. (This was pre-CNN) His title was news media watch coordinator.

I'm still looking for a good inexpensive pocket camera. I don't want to spend a fortune, I've had what, 5 digi cameras?
In my entire life, I've only owned about 10 film cameras.
Any suggestions? I saw some at circuit city yesterday afternoon.
I think I need;
small to be easily stuck in a shirt pocket,
inexpensive for many reasons,
motion compensation,
reasonably fast ASA equivalent speeds,
low sensor noise.
as much lens zoom as possible, 3x is not enough.

Good grief. Look at this Wee Petey Beinart-penned book review of Krugman's The Great Unravelling that Digby dug up:
In ''The Great Unraveling,'' Krugman tries to harness his columns into one overarching argument about the Bush presidency. In the introduction, he calls the administration a ''revolutionary power'' -- a term he takes from Henry Kissinger's analysis of France under Robespierre and Napoleon -- that wants to replace the post-New Deal order with an undiluted plutocracy. But to make his case, Krugman has to do more than merely dissect the administration's policies; he has to explain its motives and culture. And here Krugman's unconventional background becomes a liability. He criticizes Washington reporters for being prisoners of their sources, and the dinner-party-going "commentariat" for succumbing to groupthink. But guest lists that cross ideological lines can help liberals understand the conservatives they write about. And many Washington conservatives genuinely don't see the Bush administration as radical: they see it as having ratified a big-spending, culturally liberal status quo. Krugman assumes a revolutionary consciousness that may not actually exist on the ground.

About 10 years ago, I remember it distinctly, I was watching a morning news show and the anchor was interviewing this teenage girl who was "the CEO" of some company she had formed.
The anchor was gaga, raving on about how she was, and this is quote I never forgot, she was "this POWERFUL CEO!!!"
Because all CEOs are "powerful" white men -- except when they're not.
I think it was then I realized being mentally retarded was not necessarily a barrier to anchoring the news.
