...impressive as his influence is his compensation. Moulitsas started the site in May 2002 after becoming a prolific commentator on another lefty blog, Armstrong's MyDD.com. It was clunky and amateurish; today, back-of-the-envelope calculations about how much money Moulitsas makes off of Daily Kos based on ad rates run well into the six-figure range. He told the New York Times in April that it was closer to $80,000 but admitted to me later that the figure was probably higher. It?s tough to say, Moulitsas argues, because so much of the profits of the site...
...Chicks have affection for their early work, and songs like There's Your Trouble and Goodbye Earl will endure, but Maines describes most of it as "amateurish." They didn't write their hits, and the songs they did write were mostly filler. "I never wrote anything from my point of view," Maines says.

Another Indian intelligence officer who spoke to TIME linked Tuesday's bombings to amateurish attacks late last year in the tech towns of Hyderabad and Bangalore, and possibly the Delhi blasts too. In Hyderabad last October, a suicide bomber blew himself up 200 yards from the Andhra Pradesh state Chief Minister's office, killing only himself. And in Bangalore in December...
...Such repeated signs of contempt for Congress is a little hard for GOP members to swallow in the wake of the repeatedly amateurish White House handling of just about everything for the last year, ranging from the Harriet Miers nomination to the federal response to Hurricane Katrina to the dead-from-the-start Social Security reform initiative. Bush's performance has driven the entire party's poll numbers down, and with it many members' odds of re-election. Consequently, Republican confidence in the White House has crashed to an all-time low. "The White House has a huge challenge...
