I was kind of unhappy at how PBS dropped off Super Tuesday coverage fairly early in the evening. Political sickos pretty much had to rely on CNN which was all tech-ed out: did you see that crazy stage Wolf Blitzer was on? How about the map with _way_ too much information? They didn't even know where to look on that thing and neither did I. Was I looking at specific precincts reporting, or was......

Live blogging the Democratic Debate 7:43 The spin is winding down and the media room is beginning to empty. Reporters are putting the finishing touches on their debate articles and the crew is beginning to clean up the bottles and box dinners provided. But the next six days until Super Tuesday will be anything but quiet. Commercials will continue to fill the airwaves, candidates will have events around Southern California and LAist will party......

CLICK HERE to read the entire liveblog Live blogging the Democratic Debate 11:45 If the measure of a campaign's success is its support before a debate, Obama would be the clear favorite. I counted at least 30 placard waving, sign holding, Obama chanting campaigners while no one from Hillary's camp was anywhere to be seen, yet. The Obama peeps included your run of the mill students, youngish staffers and street vendors, some who claimed......

Our crack political team is projecting "reason to believe" that both Rudy Giuliani and Gov. Schwarzenegger will endorse John McCain for the Republican nomination very soon. We've sorted through various flight plans and itineraries, deciphered a number of "no comments" and left several voice messages on Wolf Blitzer's cell. Schwarzenegger will endorse "within days," Sen. Lindsay Graham told reporters before McCain took off for Burbank this morning. It's unclear whether that means today, or......

Wolf Blitzer had Bill Maher on his show last night and asked the former Politically Incorrect host who he would think would make the best Republican nominee for President. Maher chose Ron Paul, not because Maher agrees in Paul's stance in ending the so called War on Drugs, or on Paul's desire to end Income Tax so that the US would be forced to stop trying to be the world police. But Maher said......

We know that ususally our "Lunch Time Video Break" is more light and airy. But we also know that you're informed and in-the-know citizens who would enjoy a great segment from Wolf Blitzer's show on CNN where Michael Moore essentially sticks it to the man, CNN and Wolf. Now yelling at Wolf about how his network operates is a little like yelling at the customer service agent at the baggage counter about the airline......

After a good two weeks of bragging about being the first reviewers to test the God|Jesus|fuckme|iPhone, at least WSJ's Walt Mossberg and the NYT's David Pogue had the courtesy to post decent video reviews. Both reviewers did their best to avoid extreme gushing, while failing to really criticize the device. In fact, both are quick to blame AT&T's EDGE network for sucking without explaining why the iPhone does not connect to AT&T's faster networks......

Just like most of you, we will really miss Anna Nicole. She was a trainwreck but she was our trainwreck. CNN provided the best live coverage of the tragedy with a three-way interview of Larry King, Nancy Grace, and Wolf Blitzer while they ran B-roll in the background. Then they had a lawyer speak as more clips rolled on. Of all the video of Anna -- a woman who never met a camera that......

members and ex-members of Mara Salvatrucha The Annenberg School at USC is hosting the Getty/TNT/Canon/LATimes World Press Photo Award-Winning Images of '06 thru Feb. 1 and it's bloody horrifying. And not just because TribCo axe-man David Hiller is in town (photo below -- James O'Shea was on hand but held fire, er, I mean he didn't speak). Matter o' fact, USC's Annenberg School is the only host of this traveling Dutch-based show in the U.S.......

Go to a park, let us judge him." - NBC4 - After Bush and Cheney are Impeached, Nancy Pelosi is going to be able to enact Martial Law on every NASCAR event she wants. - - 2/3rds of the US......

-- A prank caller gets on Wolf Blitzer's CNN air and when the caller delivers the punchline, Wolf Blitzer suddenly becomes the least cool person on earth and instant old man when he declares "All right. Well, that sounds like we've just been Howard Sterned, as they say." - NY Post -- There are so few people who want to drive MTA busses for up to $20 an hour that the Mayor is proposing......
