U.S.: Asphyxiation behind Annie Le’s death; more warrants issued

  • Raymond Clark III is still a person of interest. The Yale murder case still doesn’t have a definitive suspect, but all eyes remain on Clark, who was served with two additional search warrants today. Earlier today, authorities said Annie Le died from “traumatic asphyxiation due to neck compression.” Whether or not Clark did it, based on the amount of press coverage he’s gotten, he’s already been convicted by the court of the media. source

Politics: Obama’s trying to get better at handling right-wing attacks

  • In a world with Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and the Drudge Report and everything else that makes up the right-wing noise machine, nothing is clean and nothing is simple. You don’t stomp a story out. You ride the wave and try to steer it to safe water.
  • An Obama administration official • Regarding the attacks that the administration often faces from the right. The administration often finds itself on the wrong side of issues they find absurd and borderline laughable. They managed to win the battle with Obama’s speech to students last week, but are working on ways to handle it in the future, as the right is trying VERY hard to discredit him right now. • source
