Weekend leftovers: 03.28.05

·jets.jpgDepartment of questionable headlines: "Pakistani Hints He'll Turn Over Centrifuges in Iran Investigation" ("President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan says he will consider turning over centrifuges") Other articles you may have missed this weekend: "With An American Safely Re-elected, Rove Turns Intensity to Policy, American Prays for Troops at Easter Services, and Amtrak Board Wary of American's Overhaul Plan. And LowCulture reports: "U.S. Sells Jets to Pakistan." (above left)

· Cheapskate media moguls: "...Sumner Redstone, Charlie Ergen, Rupert Murdoch—aren't mega-players when it comes to personal philanthropy. All three are on the Forbes list of wealthiest Americans but are nowhere to be found among the country's top charity donors." Further down: "Then [NBC Universal chairman] Bob Wright picked up the phone and called New York Times executive editor Bill Keller to commend him on a front-page story on autism. Keller assured him the Times wasn't going to ignore autism, as he felt the paper ignored AIDS at the dawn of that epidemic." [Variety via Drudge]

· Josh Marshall (not typically a purveyor of snarky commentary, it should be noted) on CNN's Schiavo coverage: "I'm not sure I can stay up late enough to see their report on sword-swallowing privatizers or the preview of the new CNN Presents documentary on the man raised from infancy by a pack of lizards and his brave struggle to adjust to life among humans."

· Ludacris, media critic [Crooks & Liars]

· Columbia University's Lee Bollinger: "There is no profession more important in the modern world than being a journalist." And no virtue more important than humility. [Asymmetrical Information]
