(via matt welch): salon to open a d.c. bureau and partern (update: it's obvious i mean partner, since partern is not a word, as far as i can tell. i would like to have a disclaimer on this site that it is not subjected to spellcheck or even revisions of any sort so my numerous typos and spelling disability should please be disregarded.) with the guardian.

moveon.org and air america are also involved in the partnership.

the bureau is operating under mr. blumenthal.

this is like, my wet dream? can i stalk them? i have never wanted to work for a d.c. bureau more than this one, except people magazine's d.c. bureau. (you're surprised to learn that people has a d.c. bureau, aren't you? i was.)

anyway, good for salon. anything to keep them from going under.

in other news...i want to have ten thousand of wonkette's babies:
