I don’t consider myself one of those stridently leftist Fox-News-bashing bloggers, but I do take a certain amount of joy in pointing out the following goof from our favorite fair and balanced cable news network.

Latest Cheney Tape May Contain Evidence Of His Whereabouts
Cheney reportedly makes reference to President Bush and the Iraq War, alludes to the 9/11 attacks 27 times, and warns eerily about Americans “making the wrong choice” in November. He also mentions current presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama by name, indicating that the tape was made recently and dispelling the rumor that Cheney died of a heart attack four years ago.
Federer’s or Big Brown’s?
Two sports milestones were set this weekend:
Sheesh.
FOR THE THIRD TIME in as many years, Roger Federer(er) and Rafael “Rafa” Nadal will meet in the finals of the French Open. The game will air live on NBC at 9 a.m. EST on Sunday.
Smart money is on Nadal to extend his 40-0 win streak at Roland Garros. He lost only 24 games en route this year’s final, the fewest in Grand Slam history. (For those who don’t know, the Grand Slam consists of the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.)
It’s a long shot, but I’m rooting for the Swiss dandy (Federer), who has perhaps the most awesomest backhand ever. However, it would will be nice to see Nadal make history and become only the second player to win four straight French Opens. (Swede Bjorn Borg, underwear magnate, currently holds exclusive claim to that statistic.)
Bonus: Here’s a funny picture of a streaker at the French Open.

Also, is that the guy from NPR’s ‘All Songs Considered’ in the video? It really sounds like him.
