Microsoft Mulling Nook for $1 Billion
LOOKS like Microsoft may have found a way to compete with Amazon and Apple, at least that’s their thinking right now. From TechCrunch: Microsoft is offering to pay $1 billion to buy the digital assets of Nook Media LLC, the digital book and college book joint venture with Barnes & Noble and other investors, according [...]
Hillary’s Mark Penn Question Answers Itself
The question for someone considering whether or not to support Clinton in 2016 is, will a Clinton 2016 campaign pass the Mark Penn Test? The Mark Penn Test, which I just invented, determines whether or not a person should be trusted with the presidency, based solely on one criterion: Whether or not they pay Mark [...]
Obama is Suddenly the “Puppet Master” of the Press
The results are transformational. With more technology, and fewer resources at many media companies, the balance of power between the White House and press has tipped unmistakably toward the government. This is an arguably dangerous development, and one that the Obama White House — fluent in digital media and no fan of the mainstream press [...]

Hillary Clinton and 2016, the Waiting Begins [Video]
“Nobody interacts with Hillary Clinton like she’s fading off into the sunset.” – Philippe Reines, Clinton’s State Department spokesman DO YOU care what’s being said about Secretary Clinton and 2016? I wonder how many people want to read analysis and the obligatory compulsory coverage about the never ending speculation of what can’t possibly known today. [...]
John Kerry is a Better Choice for State Than Susan Rice
The problem with making Susan Rice secretary of state isn’t Benghazi. It’s war. Rice, like her “mentor,” former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, and the current secretary, Hillary Clinton, has supported just about every proposed U.S. military intervention over the two decades. The president should nominate someone that occasionally opposes a war. [...] Rice is [...]
Romney Surrogate Mark “Appalachian Trail” Sanford: Obama “Will Throw A Lot of Spears”
IT’S A strong statement coming from a southerner, the video compliments of Mediaite. That Fox News anchor Shannon Bream ignored the statement is typical. Spears. Obama. Nothing to see here, move along. I wrote about Mark Sanford in a section in my book, The Hillary Effect [the excerpt], where I talk about “It’s All the [...]
A Word About Plagiarism Charges and Fareed Zakaria
“As I write explicitly [in the book], this is not an academic work where everything has to be acknowledged and footnoted,” his said. The book contains “hundreds” of comments and quotes that aren’t attributed because doing so, in context, would “interrupt the flow for the reader,” he said. He compared his technique to other popular [...]
New Romney Ad Slams Obama, Says He’s Lying on Outsourcing Charge
**UPDATED** “Just like he did against Hillary Clinton, President Obama now continues to spread dishonest attacks about Mitt Romney to distract from his failed record. Even though fact check after fact check have found his claims to be false, he continues to mislead the American people. It is no wonder why our country has lost [...]
A Personal Note
I met my husband Mark ten years ago today. When you do the work I’ve done over my life having a solid relationship is at best difficult, in reality impossible. Then I met him. I’d just moved to Las Vegas to launch my radio show under what we all knew were impossible odds. It was [...]
TM.com, The Hillary Effect and 2012 Context
by Joyce L. Arnold, Liberally Independent, Queer Talk, equality activist, writer. I think a lot about context. Analysis of a particular incident can be helpful. But without context, without some idea of what’s gone before; without some idea of what other related things are occurring in the same time frame; without additional information about the [...]

“It doesn’t mean they always agree,” he told me. “You can see them influencing each other’s views.” – Denis McDonough in “Head of State” “It was a standoff,” [Secretary Clinton] told me, “for 24 difficult hours.” – Old-Fashioned Diplomacy in the Twitter Age, by Susan B. Glasser HEAD OF STATE aptly names Hillary Rodham Clinton’s [...]
Review of “The Hillary Effect,” by Joe Gandelman
Today, she calls herself a “recovering partisan.” What has not changed is her take-no-prisoners style of blunt writing; her interest isn’t in making media or political best buds to advance her career (she certainly won’t with the honestly in this book), but to give readers her best take. And “The Hillary Effect” is the best [...]

Hillary’s No
“I think that there will be an election that will elect a woman.” – Secretary Clinton GEORGE WASHINGTON didn’t exactly jump at the chance to lead our nation after being asked either. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that women like Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, as well as people like myself, aren’t taking Hillary’s no for an [...]
