Just a few items from this past week which might be of interest if perhaps you missed them:

The Telegraph provides us with their opinion regarding the top 100 influential Conservatives in the US. See if you agree.

More on media bias at Texas Rainmaker. This piece includes not only print media but television also with some very interesting charts included. Here is just a sample:

For the top tier Democrats, the positive tilt was even more the case than for Democrats in general. Obama’s front page coverage in the sample was 70% positive and 9% negative and Clinton’s was similarly 61% positive and 13% negative.

Republican candidates, in contrast, were more likely to receive clearly negative stories in print than elsewhere: 40% negative vs. 26% positive and 34% neutral.

What would you think of disbanding the Air Force and giving their air craft to the Army and Navy? Follow the link at Danger Room-Wired Blogs to read why Robert Farley thinks this is a good idea.

The Buzz has an interesting interview with former Governor Jeb Bush. He speaks candidly on his opinion of the Republican candidates for President.

Check out Jonah Goldberg writing on Media Matters latest attempt to shill for Hillary. Sure they are a non biased, non-profit organization…..

Finally Dump Lindsey Graham provides a post on…well the name of the blog says it all:

Some tough reflection yields the following: If Lindsey Graham is the best that the South Carolina GOP can offer in 2008, then we’re in a world of hurt, friends. Strom Thurmond and Carroll Campbell must roll over in their graves when Mr. Graham bows to Ted Kennedy and plays footsies with Hillary Clinton.

The SC Democrat Party has made it clear that if it appears Graham is safe in 2008, they won’t pitch a strong Democrat candidate. That sounds good until you hear the reason: They love Lindsey Graham, and consider him a practicing Democrat!

I hope you found something of interest, but most of all I hope you have a terrific end of the week and great weekend!
