Blog Roundup 3/12: Olbermann, Old Blog Readers, Parsley (Reverend, that is)

by Alex Thurston  ::  Filed Under Daily Briefing  ::  March 12th, 2008 @ 10:01 pm EST

For the first time ever, we are told, Olbermann will target a Democrat tonight in his “special comment.” Can you guess who?

Ablogistan: “Political blog readership increases with age.” I have to say I’m not totally surprised. We often hear that the blogosphere diverges from its stereotypes in interesting ways. In other statistical news, Prosebeforehos points out that our young British counterparts are ignorant just like us.

Thinkprogress on McCain’s crazy spiritual adviser, Rev. Rod Parsley. “Allah was a demon spirit”(???) Funny, I don’t think Jehovah likes to be talked about that way…given that He is Allah.

What’s on your brain tonight?
