   During a recession, should college presidents face the same pay cuts as CEOs?
 Forty years of writing from Taylor Branch, James Fallows, Katherine Boo, Marjorie Williams, Joshua Micah Marshall, and more.
 With help from Washington, the for-profit college industry is loading up millions of low-income students with debt they'll never pay off.
 The best recent memoir from republican Washington is a hoax. That should tell you something.

By: MY PLACE IN THE BLOGOVERSE....I don't truly understand what this means, but the pretty picture below is a link map of the political blogosphere. I'm categorized as a "liberal infopit" (that's the light blue color) and my immediate neighbors are ThinkProgress, the Huffington Post, Brad DeLong, War and Piece, and the Hotline blog. You can play with the map here (warning: it takes a while to load the first time). Search for your own blog or someone else's and get a map centered on that blog. Zoom in and try to figure who's linking to whom. A brief explanation of the whole thing is here. Have fun!

Is there a massive black hole in the center of the blogosphere from which no information can escape? Posted by: Punditbot on June 23, 2008 at 5:42 PM | PERMALINKThat odd red dot in the sea of blue is mikehuckabee.com. Huh. Posted by: DonBoy on June 23, 2008 at 5:44 PM | PERMALINKI am sorry to report that Political Animal could not be found at Vanity Fair's Blogoptican. Posted by: Brojo on June 23, 2008 at 5:51 PM | PERMALINKLooks like some kinda of microbial virus..=P I'd like to see it overlaid on a map of the US as well. Posted by: Jet on June 23, 2008 at 5:55 PM | PERMALINKVictor Davis Hanson is WAY out there on the fringe, as is Hannity. That figgers. Posted by: Jet on June 23, 2008 at 6:00 PM | PERMALINKThat image reminds me of the oddball constellations on Frank Zappa's "One Size Fits All" album art: Ah ha! Kevin has moved from the calm yellow region of the moderate to the crazy blue land. Kevin has caught a serious case of Bush derangement syndrome. Posted by: Jim Lund on June 23, 2008 at 6:06 PM | PERMALINKisn't that that flying spaghetti deity thing? Posted by: bdbd on June 23, 2008 at 6:08 PM | PERMALINKI link therefore I am. 'tis better to have blogged and lost than to never have blogged at all. Regardless of where you fall on the continuum, Kevin, you can imagine yourself at an ever increasingly overlapping cyber node of no small consequence! Posted by: Tom Nicholson on June 23, 2008 at 6:17 PM | PERMALINKIf this thing serves one purpose, maybe it can be to persuade Kaus to stop pretending he's a liberal. Posted by: DB on June 23, 2008 at 6:21 PM | PERMALINKThis is like a visual aid to let us see to what degree balance has been brought to The Force. Posted by: Swan on June 23, 2008 at 6:52 PM | PERMALINKI believe this was in a movie with a Philip Glass score. Posted by: Matt on June 23, 2008 at 6:53 PM | PERMALINKIt's sort of like when Yoda uses that holographic model to help Obi-wan locate Kamino... Posted by: Swan on June 23, 2008 at 6:54 PM | PERMALINKMatt: I believe this was in a movie with a Philip Glass score. Was that blogoqaatsi? I checked it all out - just as I thought, the "advertise liberally" circle-jerk is actually just an endless set of links back and forth. kos to c&l to fdl to atrios to digby to booman to carpetbagger to mydd to americablog to talkleft, etc... A perfect endless circle of another verions of the 101st keyboarding brigade - all typing and no meaningful/real action. Guess it generates a lot of advertising revenue... Posted by: mike with the tiny tiny pencil on June 23, 2008 at 7:01 PM | PERMALINKThe Blogoverse - brought to you by the NSA, paid for by your tax dollars. Posted by: optical weenie on June 23, 2008 at 7:11 PM | PERMALINKIf this thing serves one purpose, maybe it can be to persuade Kaus to stop pretending he's a liberal. Not only that, Volokh can stop pretending it's a libertarian law blog. Commentary over there has taken a huge downward plunge in the past 6 months to more closely resemble Free Republic. Posted by: Art Eclectic on June 23, 2008 at 7:17 PM | PERMALINKweenie: brought to you by the NSA, paid for by your tax dollars. No, no, no, it's all the market. Why get the government involved now when the Internet sprung up on its own to start with? * * actual letter written to my local newspaper a few years go. Posted by: thersites on June 23, 2008 at 7:18 PM | PERMALINKWhat does God want with a starship? Huh? Posted by: thersites on June 23, 2008 at 7:21 PM | PERMALINKI would have thought an infopit is where information is tossed out in the trash. Posted by: jerry on June 23, 2008 at 7:39 PM | PERMALINK"My God! It's full of idiots" Posted by: Al Sleet(The Hippy-Dippy Weather Man) on June 23, 2008 at 9:04 PM | PERMALINKWhat are these maps called? Is there one like this that maps or graphs members of companies' boards of directors? I'd like to see how they are connected. Posted by: on June 23, 2008 at 9:16 PM | PERMALINKKevin, this blog almost consistently attracts knowledgeable, articulate, and witty commenters. Some of the effort they put into comments that a relatively small audience will see (considering thread/comment selection issues not just the blog entire) is amazing, but the satisfaction goes beyond readership of course It's a gem, it's "the shit." Sometimes you get a little flaky, but I like your policy analysis most of the time. We're helping to keep the dextronauts down (think isomers ...) See this link about what might happen to right-wing radio: Can I pay someone with more time than me to care for me, too? I got $0.78 in my pocket... Posted by: elmo on June 23, 2008 at 9:32 PM | PERMALINKWell, this explains everything about Kevin. Is "liberal infopit" just a fancy word for "squish"? Posted by: SocraticGadfly on June 23, 2008 at 9:51 PM | PERMALINKOne thing I noticed was that there at least as many red dots as blue ones. And would anyone else consider Kos as part of the liberal infopit? Hmmm.... Posted by: mikeel on June 23, 2008 at 9:56 PM | PERMALINKI always thought the Info Pits were a little further north, at La Brea or someplace like that. Posted by: thersites on June 23, 2008 at 10:18 PM | PERMALINKThersites, one of the many weird things from sci-fi this post / the chart remind me of is the Star Trek movie where the Enterprise crew from the original TV series battle a creature that is so powerful, it seems like it might be God. The climax of the movie is when it turns out the creature isn't quite omnipotent, so the crew actually are able to defeat it slip away from it. When Kirk figures this out he asks "What does God want with a starship?" which is the piece of evidence that tips him off to it. It's one of the great Star Trek lines, in my opinion. Posted by: Swan on June 23, 2008 at 10:47 PM | PERMALINKWhat does God want with a starship? -Swan He had to put all his bickering children somewhere {Earth-Ark] Posted by: Jet on June 23, 2008 at 10:59 PM | PERMALINKI noticed a few oddities: (1) They classify www.andrewsullivan.com as conservative and andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com as liberal, even though they're the same blog. (2) They include the Drudge Report but not the Drudge Retort. (3) They include www.realclearpolitics.com, but omit www.fivethirtyeight.com and www.rasmussenreports.com. (4) They include CNN and USA Today, but omit MSNBC. Post a comment
