headsup: the blog: "I"-wash
http://headsuptheblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/i-wash.html
Thorts and comments about editing and the deskly arts. Tuesday, May 03, 2011. Seriously - how long did you figure it would take for the "narcissist" theme to surface in (ahem) some commentary on the recent events in Pakistan? Take it away, hastily pardoned Iran-contra convict Elliott Abrams. Has this one been thoroughly beaten into the ground. 1) Despite the best efforts of the Fair 'n' Balanced Network (which has substantial trouble deciding itself), we really don't know what "I" means in isolation - le...

headsup: the blog: Fox populi, vox dei
http://headsuptheblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/fox-populi-vox-dei.html
Thorts and comments about editing and the deskly arts. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Fox populi, vox dei. Good thing there's someone to speak on behalf of The People. President Obama has ordered that flags be lowered to half-staff at the White House and federal buildings across the country to honor the victims of last week's shooting rampage in Chattanooga, Tenn., after facing pressure from lawmakers and others. The "others" must be The People, right? Asked about the status of the White House flags on Monday, ...

Thorts and comments about editing and the deskly arts. Friday, April 29, 2005. Let's lie with statistics! Here's a nice, thorough dissection. Of how a made-up number gets into circulation, courtesy of the Wall Street Journal. And if it isn't already, Bad Science. Should be part of your adult minimum anti-b* *s* * requirement. Posted by fev at 10:30 AM. Links to this post. OK, is there a number of times we have to say something before it sinks in among the rimsters? Posted by fev at 1:27 AM. No, not really.

headsup: the blog: Today in Kenyan perfidy
http://headsuptheblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/today-in-kenyan-perfidy.html
Thorts and comments about editing and the deskly arts. Thursday, July 23, 2015. Today in Kenyan perfidy. Fair 'n' Balanced network a bit tame for you these days? Have some of the good stuff! Is channeling . could it be Warner Todd Huston. Notice what is at the end of that oath? Will Obama next move to end the so help me God part of the oath? You can bet on it. I guess Obama felt that the millions of Muslims he’s importing into the country would feel uncomfortable pledging that they would defend the USA?

headsup: the blog: Fear factor: Turn me on, dead man
http://headsuptheblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/fear-factor-turn-me-on-dead-man.html
Thorts and comments about editing and the deskly arts. Thursday, October 09, 2008. Fear factor: Turn me on, dead man. You can sit around and watch the stock market. Or you could tune in breath- lessly to the latest hints of Obama Waffling that help Fox turn an Internet ad into a No. 2 news story. But if you're really a Fox fan, you've been stocking up on bottled water and ammunition all day as the Preacher Doll tale moved up the charts. And the story was too good to check out. The Owasso Reporter. But if...

headsup: the blog: Today in visual journalism
http://headsuptheblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/today-in-visual-journalism.html
Thorts and comments about editing and the deskly arts. Wednesday, July 08, 2015. Today in visual journalism. How far into this 860-word Torygraph article. Does the Kenyan usurper make his first appearance? Go ahead and step forward, all you in the 575-600 bracket. So spare a moment's kind thought for the Torygraph editors who might be scratching their heads at the turn their comments took after the sun rose over Planet Drudge this morning:. Drove downtown the other day, saw a group of afro-americans prot...

headsup: the blog: Who did what to whom?
http://headsuptheblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/who-did-what-to-whom.html
Thorts and comments about editing and the deskly arts. Thursday, August 06, 2015. Who did what to whom? Anyone want to take a guess at the meaning, or would you rather just cut to the jump and spoil the surprise. The owner of three dogs found dead last week on a rural road released them into the wild because he could no longer keep them at his home, police said. The shelters refused to take the dogs, so the man and his friend drove them to the area and let them go, he said. Posted by fev at 8:50 PM.

http://headsuptheblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/scuse-me-while-i-bury-paul.html
Thorts and comments about editing and the deskly arts. Friday, July 10, 2015. Scuse me while I bury Paul. Everything we hold dear is under attack from an unexpected quarter, according to the morning's No. 4 story. At the Fair 'n' Balanced Network:. Either this is a brilliant marketing campaign or McDonald's has egg on its face. Or, when in doubt, bet the null: (c), neither of the above. Customers have complained that a talking minions toy included in recent Happy Meals uses curse words. You can enjoy the...
