Above the fold, two surreal videos. Below, a quick mention of some of the past week’s pieces on ePluribus Media that you may not have seen and will probably find very interesting. Opening volley: Surreal Videos — “The Googling” Part 1 and Part III:

After the flip, a brief preview of some of the great pieces currently on ePluribus Media.

Is this a Judas move? So asks Bill O’Reilly:
Milder reactions have emanated from the White House, ranging from being “puzzled”, intimating that McClellan didn’t write this book because it “doesn’t sound like him, it sounds like a left-wing blogger”, that this is an “out of body experience”, that McClellan was “disgruntled”, that “something dramatically has changed”, that the editor “tweaked some things in the past few months” and “wrote a lot of it”…
…and on, and on, and on.
But the process of writing is sitting in front of a blank screen, staring into one’s soul.

He certainly had the examples of what to do by the Nixon administration he adored from puberty.
History is being repeated with almost identical methods, and unfortunately so are falling for them that if we don’t expose them it may cost us the General election!
In a 1996 The Washington Post article By George Lardner
Buchanan Outlined Plan to Harass Democrats in ’72, Memo Shows
Rove stated that he IS an adviser to the McCain campaign, he also works for FOX news.
Republican presidential candidate Patrick J. Buchanan strongly favored a plan of “covert operations” to harass and embarrass Democratic contenders in the heady days at the Nixon White House before the Watergate scandal.Buchanan laid out his ideas in an April 10, 1972, memo looking ahead to that summer’s Democratic National Convention
On the memo’s last page — one never turned over to Watergate congressional investigators — Buchanan and his top aide recommended staging counterfeit attacks by one Democrat on another, fouling up scheduled events, arranging demonstrations and spreading rumors to plague the rival party, all the while being careful not to run afoul of the Secret Service.

All roads lead to Rove. That was the message scrawled as an afterthought in the lower left-hand corner of the envelope I received in yesterday’s mail. It contained a letter from an old and dear friend of mine. His name is Don Siegelman. He is the former governor of Alabama and he is being held as a political prisoner of the Bush administration in a Federal prison in Louisiana.

Over the past year there has been a broad array of economic and political indicators that have been trending generally downward. In the U.S. jobs having been declining, as have exports. Construction has pulled back and property values have fallen. Wages are not keeping pace with inflation. At the same time, approval ratings for President Bush have cratered and Republican Party registration is down. GOP primary voters are showing up at the polls in significantly lower numbers than Democratic voters.
Not surprisingly, this social climate crisis is also being reflected in the market performance of the Fox News Channel. For 2007, Fox News squeezed out a meager ratings increase of 4%. While that was enough to beat the somnambulent CNN’s 2% gain, it was far short of the surging 32% rise enjoyed by MSNBC.

I saw this over the weekend and filed it in my “dead issue” mental file.
But, today, it is still there!
My question is: why would anyone believe anything that Novak writes anymore? The man should not even be allowed to write a column, even from a jail cell.
He traitorously outed a CIA spy and experienced no charges or reprimand. Now he publishes a little gossip rag and someone actually believes it!!!!! He should put up and shut up. If he has proof, surrender it. If he knows who is planting this trash, expose them or else cease and desist.

Mark Adams favors us with the first report (that I have seen) on Markos’ antagonist/counterpart, KKKarl Rove.
Rove: Rhymes With Spoofiness by Mark Adams
As Mark points out, KKKarl devotes his first column to Hillary the anti-Christ.
The direct Newsweek link in case you wish to dispense with my and Mark’s editorial, though it might be nice if you slipped him a tip in the jar as you pass through.
Update-
Markos’ new piece is up too.
Make the Bush Record the Issue
Absent amnesia-which only happens on soaps-Democrats will be fine.
I owe this tip to SusanG.
As an Admin, she doesn’t need love but it’s always good for your karma to show respect.
Update 2– She points out in the comments of Mark’s diary that this second piece is the one that’s going in the print version, the original was on-line only

arubyan brings us the scoop that Markos’ “mind blowing” opponent will be KKKarl Rove himself.
I actually think this is good news, because it gives huge credibility to Markos that ‘Bush’s Brain’ himself is required to counterbalance him.
KKKarl is slick, I hope Markos has the chops for it.
Rove vs. Kos at Newsweek by arubyan
Update: kos’ Front Page piece

There are three factions in the war over health care in our country. In one corner are the advocates of universal single-payer care, which is my favorite team and what all other developed countries provide their citizens. It is simple, less-expensive, and more effective in delivering health care. Any American who is proud that the quality of care in our country is on par with Cuba should have their head examined for termites. Somehow, one of the poorest countries of the world, long hampered economically by a boycott from the United States, is able to provide care as good as we get in this country at a tiny fraction of the cost. Hip hip … um… hooray? We have 47 million people without health insurance and medical care costs are more than double the costs in other developed countries.
Universal health care has been branded as socialized medicine by the evolutionarily inept. To appease those with small brains, even smaller hearts, and no functioning conscience, politicians have looked for bandaids to put on gunshot wounds. Mandated coverage is the new trojan horse. Make insurance companies cover people and make people buy their terrible products as the way to increase coverage and presumably give us better health outcomes. Never mind that forcing people to buy insurance does not guarantee that insurance companies will pay the claims.
