Random end-of-day notes

Arianna Huffington endorses phone, other electronic devices: Arianna weighs in on the debate about the "Big O" as she calls it, also advancing an anti-Darwinian argument based in its deep, engulfing mystery: "The female orgasm is so complex and strange, it could only have come from God... who needs Darwin when you have the Bible -- and the Jack Rabbit." Yikes. Paging Dr. Alcock!

I'll take my swag bag, upfront: The NYT cavorts with luminaries of the small screen at the upfronts, ogling their gift backs and rubbing shoulders with their parents. Lindsay Lohan has sticky, sticky fingers; Mario Vasquez is lucky to get a mention; Yoda looks hot in Frye boots. Man, that little guy's got quite the lightsaber. Paging Dr. Alcock! [Boldface Names, NYT]

"Pressing" isn't "pressure": The White House seems to want Newsweek to take 'a good second step' because apparently a retraction isn't good enough. The NYT (again) reports that Scott McLellan would "encourage Newsweek to do all that they can to help repair the damage that has been done, particularly in the region." He also says there's no pressuring being done, saying "[i]t's not my position to get into telling people what they can and cannot report." So far, no heads have rolled and according to Newsweek Washington bureau chief Daniel Klaidman this morning, none will: "We think that people acted responsibly and professionally and ... there was no malice, no institutional bias, just a mistake that was made in good faith" (Mark Whitaker said something similar last night on Nightline, though presumably his head would be one up for grabs). On HuffPo, Newsday columnist James Pinkerton makes unsubstantiated (but oh, so interesting) claims that "every interested party in Washington has been told, sotto voce, that the magazine has merely "bowed to pressure," as opposed to having had a genuine change of heart. And "pressure" is surely the right word: pressure from the Bush administration...and also, one suspects, from the always-watchful Graham family, whose major media property, The Washington Post, had developed a strongly pro-Bush editorial voice." Wow, if only this were as easy to deal with as that other 75% (thanks for the tip, Arianna!). [NYT, AP via HuffPo, HuffPo]
