Josh Marshall / Talking Points Memo:
REDUCTIO AD ABSURDUM  —  I don't know where it was.  It think it may have been a reader blog at TPMCafe.  Wherever it was it was a post that ran down something like ten different ways of counting the popular vote, all to the end of showing that Barack's popular vote lead wasn't nearly so great and may not exist at all.
Marc Ambinder:
A Response To Allen and VandeHei … Politico Executive editor Jim VandeHei and chief political writer Mike Allen present an unremarkable thesis about the Democratic presidential nomination - Obama's probably gonna get it — and support it with a provocative explanation: the media …

The Obama Doctrine  —  Everybody knows that Barack Obama was against invading Iraq in 2002-2003 whereas Hillary Clinton was for it.  But what does that mean today and what does it mean for the future?  Obama says “I don't want to just end the war, but I want to end the mind-set that got us …

O'Reilly Attends Easter Services At Church Lead by Ex-Nazi  —  The Huffington Post has learned that Bill O'Reilly — who claims to love America — spent Sunday at a “church” run by a former Hitler Youth named Joseph Alois Ratzinger.  Ratzinger has gone to elaborate ends to hide this connection …
M Peretz / The New Republic:
Thoughts on Wright  —  I've just read Dayo Olopade's fascinating piece, “Far Wright,” on Barack Obama's far-left preacher, Jeremiah Wright.  It's an insightful piece, and it evoked memories of the two black churches I sometimes attended when I lived in Georgetown.  But I'm no expert and Dayo is.
Jane Macartney / Times of London:
Death reports as Chinese police open fire on monks and nuns  —  Hundreds of monks, nuns and local Tibetans who tried to march on a local government office in western China to demand the return of the Dalai Lama have been turned back by paramilitary police who opened fire to disperse the crowd.

William Kristol / New York Times:
Let's Not, and Say We Did  —  I shuddered only once while watching Barack Obama's speech last Tuesday.  —  It wasn't when he posed the rhetorical questions: “Why associate myself with Reverend Wright in the first place, they may ask?  Why not join another church?”
Bruce Bartlett / New York Times:
Stop Those Checks  —  WITH unusual speed and cooperation last month, George W. Bush and Democrats in Congress agreed to a tax rebate set to be paid out beginning in May.  Families will get checks for $300 to $1200 or more, and it is assumed that they will all rush out to spend this money immediately …

OUT OF PRINT  —  The death and life of the American newspaper. … The American newspaper has been around for approximately three hundred years.  Benjamin Harris's spirited Publick Occurrences, Both Forreign and Domestick managed just one issue, in 1690, before the Massachusetts authorities closed it down.
