POWIP Piece of Work In Progress

Speaking of JournoList . . . [UPDATE]

The Daily Caller has up the conversations that went on there regarding Trig, along with almost all the speculations that would turn up later in Andrew Sullivan's Atlantic blog. Could it be that his realization that this information was about to break was what caused Andrew to state that his research into the mystery of the real mother of Trig had reached an impasse?

If you read this stuff, there are some reasonable and some pretty wacky voices in there, decent and vile, and one hilarious commenter who lacks even the most fundamental grasp of applied statistics. There's another who speculates that Trig might instead suffer foetal alcohol syndrome.

Most of them realized how stupid it would be to try to go with the "story," so it seems likely that one of them sought out The Excitable One and poured this gobbledygook into his pot-addled pate, adding a few flattering words about how he was the only one with the courage to float these allegations. As it turned out, he was the only one with the stupidity to persist after even Ricky Hollywood wouldn't throw him a bone.

Via Insty, Da Techguy chronicles Ezra Klein's appearance on Morning Joe, in which the JournoList scandal's not even mentioned, and here's another Daily Caller piece on JournoListers debating how best to support the Obama candidacy.

As per Bob's earlier post on the startling revelations regarding Obama and the Lockerbie bomber, here's what we were saying about this 10 months ago. Good thing our hardworking journalists were digging into this fiasco.

Insty's things you might have missed this weekend doesn't include the rumors of a Zeta gang invasion of Laredo, TX area ranches, which would have been a good subject for "War of the Worlds" treatment:

Rancher: They come in a-ridin' on they's chupacabras, hair all spiky an' fearsome-like, high on peyote an' tequila, guns a-blazin', yammerin' they's Mexican talk!

And just because we here on The Island of Misfit Bloggers like to be perverse about timing, here's a Rule 5 entry named Vida Guerra:

UPDATE: Andrew chimes in on JournoList and Trig. Like Ed Schultz, he busted his ass for Obama, and all he got was a busted ass.
