EBERT, TWITTER AND ALCOHOL

Ebert uses Twitter to project his political opinions. Nothing new. His opinions are leftist leaning, of course, but I have no problem with him. And I have no problem with the author of this piece about Ebert, but I find it somewhat disturbing. Cocktails, anyone?

No men left in Washington? Doesn't look like it, Hillbuzz talks Palin... Liberal policies in Detroit have finally come home to roost... Chuck DeVore continues his polling advances, Mel Morgan lays it out... Gov Chris Chistie lights up a reporter like a Woolworth Christmas tree... Space Shuttle Atlantis' final launch today; Andrea Shea King was on the beach at Canaveral for a photo op... TMH points out a two-eleven in progress.

MONDAY'S QUICK HITS

Catching my eye this morning and over the weekend:

*Nothing at all to see here. It was a "Chicago suicide," I'm sure--Malkin has much more with updates.

**Possible VP candidate? I say it's too early but he comes from good stock.

***Jimmy Carter defends his handling of the Iranian hostage crisis...again.

****Look Under the Hood for the latest on Jodie Evans and Code Pink. Update: WSJ picks up the story.

*****Today, Roger Ebert is a frightened individual. Why? My theory: When the Princess Theater was renamed the Cinema, Ebert never got over it. Main St. Urbana was never the same, either. Even the food at Curry's Cafe didn't taste the same. The '60s was a turbulent decade.
