The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.are looking at finding at least $9 billion in savings from other Medicare programs over the next five years. Medicare Advantage private insurers are at the top of the list for Democrats and some Republicans to cut, since they receive generous government subsidies to serve their 9.5 million beneficiaries. The veto threat came in a May 22 letter to Sen

I've had this blog three days and I'm already moving to Typepad. Believe it or not, Blogger, the site that everyone can manage successfully has proven too difficult for me. I'll be watching Calvin Woodward of the AP from now on here . Let me be clear that I'm not blaming Blogger for the move. I think it's a great service and I wish I had the time to make it work for me.

I haven't found an article from Mr. Woodward yet but this piece from the AP's Nancy Benac, showed up in my search. It's a good example of lively writing that doesn't editorialize. It covers an important issue too - what are the Dems going to do about taxes and how are they going to communicate those plans to the voters? It also brings up the question of why Gen. Clark's tax plan was so

I don't have an article yet today from Mr. Woodward but this article by the AP's Nancy Benac came up in my search. It's a good example of a lively piece that sticks to facts and covers the important issue of what the Dems are going to do about taxes. I'm building up my positive karma so that when I need to be strict, I won't feel so bad :)

Now I'm trying to get comments working.

Mr. Woodward hasn't been nearly as biased in today's less-than-clear article about the Democratic candidates as he has in the past . In their latest debate, the Democratic candidates gave flight to rhetorical excesses here and there. But Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center, who tracks misstatements in the presidential

My first reference to a Calvin Woodward article is a positive one! This article is a good example of facts set out without comment - solid reporting.

Gah. When Atrios said, Just Do It! , I guess I let myself get swept up and away by the idea of saving the world. Never a good thing. This after a few weeks of thinking about it, but not actally learning how to blog. As a result, this is proving to be vastly more difficult than I thought it would be. For instance, I have to find out how to link to blogs so that the link jumps right to the

Okay, I'm going to try to be part of the Adopt-a-Journalist idea that was suggested at Atrios. I picked Calvin Woodward of the AP. We'll see if I can do this thing.
