Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly face off tonight on O'Reilly's turf rehashing the Common controversy of last week, so it might worth setting the DVR to Fox News for one hour. Or just wait until tomorrow and someone (probably me) will post the video online. Your call.

I could be wrong, but when the script for your advertisement has the line "I'm Korean!" for a woman running a dry cleaning establishment, that could be on the border of bad-idea-land.

Raw Story notes that Fox News' Sean Hannity is covering the new "slutwalk" movement with the help of Christian pop singer Rebecca St. James:

Fox News’ Sean Hannity invited Christian pop singer Rebecca St. James to discuss recent “slutwalk” protests.

The first demonstration was called earlier this month after a Toronto police officer claimed “women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized.” Since then, protests have spread through cities across the U.S.

“I think there has to be responsibility though for what a woman is wearing,” St. James told Hannity Monday. “When a woman is dressing in an immodest way, in a proactive way, she’s got to think about what is she saying by her dress?”

“They’re asking for sex,” she continued. “They’re asking for sex if they’re dressed immodestly.”

Somebody better let Fox News' Megyn Kelly know about that before her next GQ shoot. (And speaking of her GQ shoot: If you get a chance, be sure to read the entire Q&A—the part about whether Obama is a secret Muslim and the nature of Fox News viewers is hysterical.)

BTW: Tucson has its own Slutwalk this Friday, May 13, at 5 p.m. in front of the Tucson Police Department's downtown headquarters. Details here.

While there's certainly some parts of Al-Qaeda's history that involves Tucson, I'm not entirely sure this story is fair or actually news in 2011, but why let that stop My Fox Phoenix from running a bizarre cut-and-paste job of a story titled "Tucson: The Birthplace of Al-Qaeda in America" without a byline?

While seeming to lack the pressure of actually making money likely helps, it's nice to see a giant company like Google using prime advertising time (during Glee, in the case of when I saw it...it was Fleetwood Mac night, I couldn't help myself) to sell their brand but also help reaffirm that humanity still has winning moments.

Other than the chance that Jon Stewart might run a series of your Fox News clips in a sequence some day, there's not much accountability for political pundits. Make a bold, media ready prediction one day, by the time a week goes on, who cares anymore? A college class at Hamilton College in New York, however, put in the work and figured out that even the best political prognosticators are only right half the time, at best:

The Hamilton students sampled the predictions of 26 individuals who wrote columns in major print media and who appeared on the three major Sunday news shows — Face the Nation, Meet the Press, and This Week — and evaluated the accuracy of 472 predictions made during the 16-month period. They used a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being “will not happen, 5 being “will absolutely happen”) to rate the accuracy of each, and then divided them into three categories: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

The students found that only nine of the prognosticators they studied could predict more accurately than a coin flip. Two were significantly less accurate, and the remaining 14 were not statistically any better or worse than a coin flip.

The top prognosticators — led by New York Times columnist Paul Krugman — scored above five points and were labeled “Good,” while those scoring between zero and five were “Bad.” Anyone scoring less than zero (which was possible because prognosticators lost points for inaccurate predictions) were put into “The Ugly” category. Syndicated columnist Cal Thomas came up short and scored the lowest of the 26.

Even when the students eliminated political predictions and looked only at predictions for the economy and social issues, they found that liberals still do better than conservatives at prediction. After Krugman, the most accurate pundits were Maureen Dowd of The New York Times, former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — all Democrats and/or liberals. Also landing in the “Good” category, however, were conservative columnists Kathleen Parker and David Brooks, along with Bush Administration Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson. Left-leaning columnist Eugene Robinson of The Washington Post rounded out the “good” list.

Those scoring lowest — “The Ugly” — with negative tallies were conservative columnist Cal Thomas; U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC); U.S. Senator Carl Levin (D-MI); U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman, a McCain supporter and Democrat-turned-Independent from Connecticut; Sam Donaldson of ABC; and conservative columnist George Will.

Landing between the two extremes — “The Bad” — were Howard Wolfson, communications director for Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign; former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, a hopeful in the 2008 Republican primary; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a Republican; Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, the Democratic nominee for president in 2004; liberal columnist Bob Herbert of The New York Times; Andrea Mitchell of NBC; New York Times columnist Tom Friedman; the late David Broder, former columnist for The Washington Post; Chicago Tribune columnist Clarence Page; New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof; and Hillary Clinton.

There was actually a stop-the-presses moment at the New York Times last night, as, for obvious reasons, the entire news section needed to be redone. In case you were wondering, here's what the cover was going to look like this morning:

After an ACLU of Arizona panel discussion on medical marijuana on Wednesday, April 27, I talked a few minutes with Pima County Supervisor Richard Elias, who told me Pima County Administrator Chuck Huckelberry's office was flooded that day with phone calls asking Huckelberry to fire public defense attorney Isabel Garcia and Elias for encouraging students to "riot" at the Tuesday meeting.

Why were the calls coming in? They were listeners of local conservative radio personality Jon Justice, who was encouraging listeners to not only call Huckelberry, but to also call TUSD Superintendent John Pedicone to fire governing board members Adelita Grijalva and Judy Burns for allowing students to "riot."

First, you can't fire elected officials, and Justice has already tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to get Garcia fired. Elias seemed good humored about the radio jock's continuous schtick, so he'll probably have good laugh over this video gem.

Here's a fascinating video produced by the India Staff of Watershed Management Group, a local nonprofit. The video was one of four winning videos out of 1,350 entries in the DoGooder Nonprofit Video Contest.

The device created in the video is a tippy tap, a low-tech, low-cost and low-water use handwashing device.

From a press release:

Tucson Non-Profit Wins YouTube Video Contest and Promotes Life-Saving Sanitation Practice

YouTube announced that a partnership led by Watershed Management Group (WMG) won Best Thrifty Video in this year's DoGooder Nonprofit Video Contest.

WMG’s video “It’s In Your Hands,” focuses on hand washing with soap as a lifesaving behavior through the use of a Tippy Tap, a simple, hand-washing device that is especially relevant in rural areas without running water.

The 5th annual DoGooder Contest received 1,350 videos from 750 non-profits and chose 16 finalists. The public voted on their favorite videos for seven days to choose the four winning videos.
