Couple of things

- Continuing an interesting - and necessary - discussion on the role of new media in news gathering.

- So, we're just supposed to kill them ourselves? And can a chunk of that funding for the Athens Area Humane Society be yanked away for, aside from the obvious changing of address, but also its sudden decision to not do what's being paid to do?

- Wow. Chris Withers has absolutely no idea what a 'donation' is. He must also be the guy who makes change in the offering plate at church and filters for coins in public water fountains.

- Robert Reich swats away criticisms of the public option.

- So it seems that Gov. Mark Sanford was hiking the trail in an entirely different sense, and The State has some incredibly uncomfortable emails that broke the story.

- Speaking of that, TPM makes fun of Erick ... which is entertaining, but also too easy on most days.

- Not that it's terribly shocking that Clarke County Board of Education is opposed to, you know, doing something proactive, but is puzzling considering the legwork done by parents, teachers and volunteers, along with various organizations such as BikeAthens. An interesting read worth checking out.
