Friday Round-Up - 13th July 2012
by Graham
1. Can You Say "Conflict Of Interest"? #1
Local reporter in Alexandria LA works as consultant for school district while simultaneously reporting on that school district, appears shocked that people consider this to be a conflict of interest.
2. A Brief Theory Of The Republican Party
Article from January by Jay Rosen (NOTE to partisans - probably a socialist/marxist/mooslem-loving academic) where he surfaces the "alternate reality" hypothesis of modern American politics.
3. It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool... Part 1
Chris Collins, a Republican running for the House of Representatives from the state of New York, says that people no longer die from prostate or breast cancer. Forced into a public recantation by the realization that he had said something uneffingbelievably dumb, he had to further dig himself into a hole. Jeez, what an idiot.
4. Boasting Senate candidates Part 2
What is it with Scott Brown that he keeps needing to inflate his own sense of self-importance by pathetically boasting of how many important people he talks with?
