Who doctored the photo of John Kerry at a rally to place him on stage with Jane Fonda? That is what the photographer of the original photo would like to know, and ironically he happens to be a professor of journalism at UC Berkeley who teaches on law and ethics for photographers. The question also remains, why should it matter. SFGate.com has the whole story.

Don't you just hate it when this happens?

A nice piece by Kevin Drum at Calpundit on "the truth about liberals". It is always amusing when the other side ascribes motivations to their opponents. I'm sure liberals do it to conservatives too, and I've had conversations with my Christian friends where they are fond of telling me what Jews believe (and why we're wrong).

At Slate, Dahlia Lithwick does her usual exemplary job of making sense out of "memogate".

I know the sins of the (nutball) father shouldn't be visited on the son, but they belong to the same church and Mad Mel hasn't done a great job of distancing himself from these kinds of statements. And they wonder why the Jewish community is concerned?
