Wadah Khanfar, director general of the Al-Jazeera network, announced Burman’s appointment as managing editor on Wednesday. There’s the lefty Media Bias again, heres hoping he ends up with a fatwah. Or Al Battar gets him. When I received word that Tony Burman, the former head of CBC News, was moving over to Al Jazeera, I thought it was a spoof. Alas, I’m wrong. Burman follows Avi Lewis to the jihadist propaganda arm. I wonder how much back-pay they’ll get? http://ezralevant.com/2008/

So I've had this beautiful for the past six or seven years: Combine the two stupidest copyright-infringing redneck window-sticker trends of the 21st Centurys -- Calvin of Calvin & Hobbes vulgarly pissing on some enemy car brand, and Calvin of Calvin & Hobbes stupidly praying at the foot of a giant Jesus-less crucifix -- into one perfect union. You know, Calvin pissing on the Cross. Well, I kind of mentioned this idea in public today, in the comments of a Wonkette post, and next thing you know a

Using our friend Marc Orchant's death and Om Malik's heart attack as examples, Matt Richel built a case for web journalism as the cause of certain health woes because of its non-stop, 24/7 real-time nature. There is no doubt that news blogging is stressful. But it is not just blogging. Real-time anything is stressful. Take

Here's something new: Madonna defers to her big-name producers on 'Hard Candy'

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 22:07:12 PDT
Love or hate her (there’s rarely anything in-between), Madonna always seemed to be one step ahead. She was a master at trolling underground styles and appropriating them for mainstream makeovers, in the same way that David Bowie kept redefining cool in the ‘70s by repackaging outrageousness as exquisitely crafted pop, rock and ersatz soul. But the days of Madonna bending the mainstream to her enormous will apparently are over. Her latest album, “Hard Candy” (Warner Bros.), in stor
