ED DRISCOLL: Attention CNN’s Interview Scheduling Department.

WELL, SURE: Oliver Stone: ‘Jewish-Dominated Media’ Prevents Hitler from Being Portrayed ‘in Context’. “The director also defended Hitler and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and railed against the ‘powerful lobby’ of Jews in America.”

Note: Not actually from The Onion.

UPDATE: Reader Jeff Brown writes: “You lock people up in camps and murder six million of their family and friends, people hold a grudge. What can you do? But then the progressives have been working to keep Reagan and Bush from being portrayed in context.” Yeah, sometimes context is really important, other times not. It’s so confusing.

PEJMAN YOUSEFZADEH: The Case of Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer.

THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST, REDUX? “The difference between 1.0 and 2.0 is that 2.0 are not all Protestant, white males sprung full-blown from the Establishment as 1.0’s fathers and their fathers’ fathers were. Like Obama himself, they are by and large onetime middle-class overachievers who made their way into the Ivy League and then catapulted to the top levels of class and power by being . . . well, the best and the brightest. But in elitism as in religion, no one is more devout than a convert, and these people, again like Obama, all having been blessed by the Ivy League, also embrace Ivy League arrogance and condescension. On this, the Republican critics are right: The administration exudes a sense of superiority.”

PILING ON JOHN KERRY OVER YACHTGATE: Lifestyles Of The Rich And Clueless. “Boston Herald piles on, with New England boat builders wondering why, in times of hardship, Sen. Thurston Howell … I mean John Kerry, D-Mass., had to outsource his luxury, going halfway around the world to buy the $7 million luxury yacht he was berthing across state lines in tax-free Rhode Island.”

Hey, he may be dodging taxes and costing local jobs, but at least he’s not destroying fragile coral reefs while he’s at it. So he’s got that over Jeff Greene, anyway.

UPDATE: Reader Ben White emails: “They told me if I voted for Scott Brown, that my Senator would decide important issues to benefit the super rich instead of the working people of Massachusetts. And they were right!”

WIKILEAKS AND THE JOURNOLISTS: “How many of the Journolists who object to the release of their e-mails regarding the 2008 presidential campaign will spend the next several days gloating over the publication by WikiLeaks of over 90,000 classified military documents regarding the war in Afghanistan?”

JAKE TAPPER interviews Chris Christie. “I think Republicans across the country need to get back to our brand.”

HMM. PAYBACK? Wikileaks leaker prosecuted — and now, Wikileaks dumps more classified documents. Of course, the initial Wikileaks video turned out to be deceptive, so keep that in mind as you ponder the new leaks. They could be disinformation from people who don’t like the United States — or they could be disinformation from U.S. intelligence agencies. Who knows? But the White House says it’s a bad thing.

SO JOHN FOGERTY WAS INDUCTED INTO THE BASEBALL HALL OF FAME for his song Centerfield, which is pretty cool. That got me to go back and look at all my old Fogerty posts, which was also kind of cool. I knew I’d blogged about him, but I didn’t realize how much, or in how many contexts.

PETER SUDERMAN: A Legacy Of Budget Trickery: Peter Orszag’s Sleight Of Hand. “Under Orszag’s watch, budget gimmicks became a way of life for the Obama White House. Both he and Obama may want to pretend their budget numbers tell the truth, but at this point, it’s tough to see their constant fiscal fakery as anything other than a long exercise in make believe.”

SIGN OF THE TIMES: LA suburb residents march over high city salaries. “Several hundred angry residents from a modest blue-collar Los Angeles suburb marched Sunday to call for the resignation of the mayor and some City Council members in a protest sparked by the sky-high salaries of three recently departed administrators. The residents of the city of Bell marched to Oscar’s Korner Market and Carniceria, owned by Mayor Oscar Hernandez, then to his home, demanding that he reduce his own six-figure compensation or quit. They then did the same with some members of the City Council, with many marchers wearing T-shirts that read ‘My city is more corrupt than your city.'”

LAW SCHOOL GRADUATES face a bimodal salary curve. We used to call this a “brassiere curve” back when i was in college, but that’s probably politically incorrect now. But you’ve got two humps — a lower one, where the salaries for most law school graduates cluster, and a much higher one, centered around what those who go to big firms make. The important thing, in calculating the risk/return ratio of time and money on law school, is figuring out which of the two you’re likely to end up in.

As Above The Law’s Elie Mystal notes, “A lot of wanna-be lawyers claim that they don’t even want to make $160K. Fine. But understand the curve. If you don’t make $160K, it’s not likely that you’ll make just a little bit less — say, $120K. It’s not likely that you’ll make the average; it’s not even likely that you’ll make the median. If you don’t win the $160K lottery, chances are you’ll be clumped into the left-hand side of the curve, earning somewhere between $30,000 and $60,000 a year. That’s the kind of pay that a lot of people can get without three years of post-graduate education and six figures of debt.”

UPDATE: How it happened.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Ilya Somin says it’s not as bad as it looks. As the higher education bubble talk continues, expect people to talk about this more.

SHOULD YOU BE TAKING ASPIRIN PREVENTATIVELY? “Indeed, mounting evidence reported in a number of leading medical journals now suggests that if you’re healthy and not at significant risk for a heart attack, you should not be taking aspirin preventively. That’s because the studies show that aspirin doesn’t reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack or stroke in healthy people. Furthermore, the potential risk of a cerebral hemorrhage, gastrointestinal bleeding, and ulcers outweighs any heart benefits the aspirin might provide.”

ALEXANDER MARLOW: Shirley Silenced: Sherrod Kept Out of Sunday Talk-shows.

TOM BLUMER: It’s the Uncertainty, Stupid.

AL GORE, INTERVIEWED BY PORTLAND POLICE, denies any wrongdoing.

UPDATE: “No comment.”

CLARICE FELDMAN: KNOW WHEN TO HOLD ‘EM. “In my view, Obama still doesn’t know when to hold or fold his race cards. Neither does the NAACP. They’ve been bluffing the dummies so long they think they can get away with it forever. And they are wrong. ” Read the whole thing.
