Media Minutiae, And By The Way No Indictments Have Been Handed Down Yet Edition

  • You get what you pay for: Except in the case of Michael Brown. Why he remains on the FEMA payroll is a mystery to the world, except maybe Michael Chertoff. Is there anything to like about these people? Sheesh. [AP]

  • President Bush has lost his mojo, and Fishbowl has found blog synchronicity: earlier today we wrote of Bar Mitzvah Disco, and one of its authors, Nick Kroll...whose non-Semitic claim to fame was his stint at Andy Roddick's mojo, similarly lost. Okay that's just freaky. [The Hill via HuffPo]

  • The NYT's Bill Carter lists all the swirling questions surrounding network news in this, its most uncertain period. Very important stuff, but if it doesn't have "Rove" or "Libby" in the headline then honestly, no one's reading. [NYT]

  • Big Pharma blames Canada -- but what a page-turner! This is one of the most bizarro things I've ever seen. Drug companies hired a sketchy writer to pen a sketchier thriller about a murder plot hatched by evildoers who plan to murder innocent Americans using cheap Canadian pharmaceuticals. CRAZY. So crazy it just might work... no, seriously, that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard, almost as dumb as Props 73 - 78. [LAT]

  • Oh, and just as an aside, Wikipedia might not be totally accurate. Oh sure, now Michael Kinsley finds out. [Register UK, Poynter]
