Profiles in Chutzpah
Sen. Kennedy to Publish Children's Book
NEW YORK - Meet the latest children's author, Sen. Ted Kennedy, and his Portuguese Water Dog, Splash, his co-protagonist in "My Senator and Me: A Dogs-Eye View of Washington, D.C."
Scholastic Inc. will release the book in May.
"I am very excited about the opportunity to create a book for young readers and their families that will deepen their understanding of how our American government works," Kennedy said in a statement Monday issued by Scholastic.
According to Scholastic, Kennedy's book "not only takes readers through a full day in the Senator's life, but also explains how a bill becomes a law." Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat, was inspired to write the book from his work with a Washington-based reading program, "Everybody Wins!"
Senator Kennedy has a Portuguese water dog? Named Splash?

Powerline named TIME Magazine's "Blog of the Year"
I'd like to think that this is indisputable proof of the mainstream media's acceptance that blogs are legitimate vehicles for news and opinion, but I suspect the editors of TIME Magazine are just smart enough to understand the financial rewards and cultural cachet to be realized by throwing a few meaty tablescraps to the hounds.
Can't wait to see what Nick Coleman has to say about this...
Update: Any bets whether or not TIME's editors were monitoring the results of the 2004 Weblog Awards before going to print?
