Signing Statements (and other stuff)

• What would we do without Bill O'Reilly to be appalled by? Still, his bulldogging of supposedly "evil" left-wing enemies is getting out of hand. Viz., his harassment of Think Progress editor Amanda Terkel for daring to criticize him. There's a nice little campaign being mounted by Think Progress to contact O'Reilly's sponsors and express disapproval of his tactics. You can find it here.

Update: I just received a reply from UPS that said, among other things, "At this time, we have no plans to continue advertising during this show."

• Speaking of things you can sign, here's a statement of support for Obama's proposals on Afghanistan, created by VoteVets.org.

• From the "Ya Think?" files: 'Washington Post' Publisher: Buyouts Could Deplete Talent. Meanwhile, the Houston Chronicle has just laid off a bunch of talented people, gutting its features department (of course), including its excellent books editor, Fritz Lanham. Sigh. One less place for me to publish book reviews.

• Well, I think Curbside Consultation of the Colon should have won.
