Joe the Plumber Reports on Gaza Conflict (Really!)

Samuel Wurzelbacher,i.e. Joe the [sorta] Plumber (JT[S]P), has gone to Gaza to report on Israel's war with the occupied territory. He is filing stories for the prestigious Pajamas Media news organization. (Other stories on the site explore whether nazi-uniform-wearing Prince Harry is a bigot and the how the mainstream media is frightened by JT[s]P's trip to Israel.)

The reportage is top notch. He opens our eye's to the plight of civilians under fire:

"The people of Sderot can't do normal things, day to day, like get soap in their eyes in the shower, for fear a rocket might come in. I'm sure they're taking quick showers. I know I would."

And his personal insight into how Israeli PM Ehud Olmert and his Kadima party compatriots may be viewing the conflict:

"When someone hits me, I'm going to unload on the boy. And if the rest of the world doesn't understand that, then I'm sorry."

The hegemony of the New Media has begun.

Alleged Skanky Model Allegedly Defamed by Blogger

A google blogger blogger is on the receiving end of aging model Liskula Cohen's legal team, or will be, assuming the lawyers can cajole the google into giving up his/her identity. Liskula, who's 24 carrot smile can be seen below, seems not to be a fan of Skanks in NYC , a blog that apparently explores the facets and modalities of her (still unproven) skankyness. Via el reg.
