Eisner is an Idiot (Feb 13 2004 23:29 GMT) - Eisner is an idiot. "He created the computer, or at least Windows, or whatever he created, and did a good job," Eisner said to peals of laughter from analysts attending the company conference in Orlando, Florida. Eisner was addressing the collapse of talks between Disney and Pixar on extending their partnership, which has generated five smash hits including last year's "Finding Nemo." Since those talks failed late last month, Eisner and Jobs have traded barbs, each blaming the other. "You'd be killing me today if you read the deal we offered them," he told the analysts. |

Greenspan Supports Permanent Tax Cuts (Feb 13 2004 23:28 GMT) - The Chairman of the Federal Reserve apparently sees the benefits of Bush's tax cuts. In fact, he sees those benefits so clearly that he backs making the cuts permanent: Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan on Thursday lent support to a White House bid to make $1.7 trillion in tax cuts permanent, telling Congress... |

The Internationalist (Feb 13 2004 23:28 GMT) - Disregarding the current rumors surrounding the Democratic golden boy of the moment, there are some pressing questions that still need answers. Things like this: DOES JOHN Kerry believe in the sovereignty of the United States? It is a fair question given his comments about how he would deploy American armed forces. In a 1970 interview with Harvards student... |

They were joined by more than 50 supporters in the courthouse.... |

How Not to Deal with the Press (Feb 13 2004 23:26 GMT) - Every Presidency does it, but really now, shouldn't they learn that stonewalling only makes you look like you have something to hide? Even if there is an explanation you look like it is bad. Josh Marshall reprints Scott McClellan's Who's On First performance Here is the way to make the issue go away--release the records and answer the questions. Even if it is bad, it is better to release it now because you will release them eventually--trust me. The presumptive Democratic nominee may be... |

Internal Hulls (Feb 13 2004 23:26 GMT) - I'm hearing (nice passive way to avoid who the source is) that the internal polling for Hull is even better. Now, all internal leaks should be treated skeptically. That said, there is a back story why those polls might not be the normal push polling. Hull is a stats geek and we (the statgeeks of the world) have a thing about accurate numbers. Sure, we can push numbers, but more importantly we want to know the real state of the universe. |

Trucking Scandal Has Some Good Effects (Feb 13 2004 23:26 GMT) - The trucking scandal is apparently taking a lot of energy out the Mayor. While being cynical about the Mayor is generally correct and he has a tough hide when it comes to criticism, this one seems to be draining him according to some around him. In response, he is looking to propose a major social service project/agency push to address joblessness and homelessness. Certainly some of it is to change the subject, but this is also a guy who takes on thankless tasks such as school reform. L... |

Read Kass's column on the Tribune Editorial Board meeting with the Republican Senate Candidates, One might think that Kass' condemnation of those who wouldn't criticize Kjellander was the strongest, but read it a second time and Jack Ryan comes out looking like a giant boob. Just about the time one candidate was proving he went to college by offering a fascinating a... |
