Quotes of the Week
"I wish I had a subscription to Time Magazine so I could cancel it."
---post on the Center for American Progress blog, concerning Time's fawning and dishonest cover story on Ann Coulter.
"Anything that is complex narrative storytelling---one-hour dramas, narrative miniseries, character-driven movies for television---advertisers don't believe there is an audience under fifty for these kinds of shows."
---Susan Lyne, former president of ABC Entertainment
quoted by Ken Auletta in the New Yorker 3/28/05
(okay, so that wasn't this week, but I read it this week.)

White Smoke for the Red States
Congratulations, fundamentalist evangelical protestants and neocons, you've got yourself a pope! He's the guy who advised U.S. Bishops to deny sacraments to the likes of John Kerry, and warned U.S. voters that a vote for the likes of Kerry could send them to hell, and he did so during the 2004 campaign. Oddly enough, the margin for Bush in Catholic votes made the difference, if you have that kind of faith in the integrity of the voting process in 04.
That he's one of the few remaining veterans of the Nazi Youth has to be considered just a little bonus.

Black Smoke for Bolton
Sorry, we do not have a UN Ambassador.
"But do I think John Bolton would make a good ambassador to the United Nations? Absolutely not.He is incapable of listening to people and taking into account their views. He would be an abysmal ambassador."
Lawrence Wilkerson, chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell
The New York Times > Washington > Delay Is Sought in Vote on U.N. Nominee
(Oh boy, what's Delay done this time...)
