  • MSNBC reporting that White House called yesterday and asked to have cameras in today's session. Interesting. #
  • Politics at 'net speed: RT @cspan: We're on it! RT @DavidCornDC Ok, Brian Lamb, at @CSPAN, write that letter now. More #questiontime, plz. #
  • RT @derekahunter: This forum goes a long way toward dispelling media spin that either side is the caricature the other portrays. #moreplease #
  • Frank Luntz just mouthed "no, it's not true." #
  • Humbly suggest that O's tone today is what I was talking about in "I Think You're Crazy, But We Can Do Business" — http://bit.ly/9gyzZP #
  • RT @chrislhayes: Pete Roskam (R-IL), psychoanalyzing the prez to his face. Sort of amazing. // Knew each other in the IL senate, it seems. #
  • Let's rewind and put this exchange on the air Wednesday night instead of the SOTU. #
  • Wishing House GOP had thought bubbles over their heads when they were applauding "Bolshevik plot." #
  • RT @shani_o: RT @AnnieLowrey: Obama talking to house members live http://bit.ly/3cVRSd // Now this is edutainment. #
  • Apparently, I'm not beyond spontaneously dropping a Swedish fish into a glass of water to see if it looks like it's swimming. Good to know. #

  • “James always said, 'Journalism is putting a camera in someone’s face until they do something stupid.'" http://bit.ly/9A6Tcn #
  • One more pre-SOTU option for you NYers: I'll be on Brian Lehrer's TV show at 7:30. Will try to slip in a "sweet Bobby Jindal!" reference. #

  • Ha, the Newseum bathroom has dumb headlines as wall art, like "Youths steal funds for charity." Cute. #
  • The right to open networks is one thing. Whether "new organizing" changes things for the good, another. These convos often treat the 2 as 1. #
  • Clinton takes up the Google China sitch — American cos. shouldn't comply w/ censorship. "This needs to be part of our national brand." #
  • Clinton: Internet, mobile phones, so on and so forth are the "onramp to modernity." #
  • Sec. Clinton in her big "Internet freedom" address: "We stand for a single Internet." #
  • Wow. Small business owner and neighbor come to blows over Yelp reviews: http://bit.ly/5Y0CXW #

  • Make that "I wonder if Apple execs rely on *iPhones*…" #
  • Really do wonder if Apple execs rely on cell phones when they're in New York City. Check their back pockets for a non-AT&T phone. #
