For those of you unfamiliar with the 60s in France, Brigitte Bardot was a HUGE movie star and singer. She became a sex symbol especially through Roger Vadim’s film And God Created Woman (am I showing my age??) and the best songwriters composed for her. After the “refrigerator stars” of the 40s and 50s in [...]

Via Le Monde, a new society has been discovered in the Brazilian rainforest close to the Peruvian border, largely hunters and gatherers, obviously, by the looks of it, but not nomadic with some horticulture, according to Le Nouvel Observateur. They seem to have never been exposed to the larger world. According to Survival International, there [...]

I’ve been out for a couple of hours and there’s other big news heating up with the tallies coming in from the last two primaries. However before getting to that news, among the headlines today was this one: “Clinton says she’s open to being Obama’s VP.”
Hillary Rodham Clinton told colleagues Tuesday she would consider joining [...]

I just finished watching the video below from MSNBC with Taylor Marsh and Matthew Slutsky (DoubleSpeak). Both Taylor and Matthew agreed that despite the divide between bloggers over the two candidates, Obama and Clinton, bloggers will come together to support the nominee.
Watch it here:
I’ve been saying here for some time that I’ll be supporting the nominee [...]

No matter how you feel about the eventual Democratic nominee (Hillary or Obama), today was a bad day for democracy. Not once, but twice (at least, the day is still young) AP tried to call this race before the voters had a chance to get to the polls. The media shamelessly tried to influence the results [...]

AP News is all about jumping the gun today. First they broke with a story that Hillary would concede tonight (see below), and that was wrong. Now they are claiming that by their tally, “Obama effectively clinches nomination.”
The AP tally was based on public commitments from delegates as well as more than a dozen private [...]

Here we go again… Yesterday the media was abuzz that Hillary was set to concede but, as I reported here, her campaign denied the rumors. So again, this morning AP News broke a story that Clinton was “set to concede delegate race to Obama” tonight.
I emailed Clinton’s Internet Communications Director for clarification. Not so, I was told [...]

If you scan through the headlines today you’ll find a wealth of confusion as the last primaries are getting under way in South Dakota and Montana. Obama is pushing to claim victory, and AP News reported that Clinton is set to concede (more on that to come).
Chris Cillizza notes that “American Research Group released surveys yesterday [...]
