The Toast of the Tea Party or Just Toast?

Tuesday’s New York Times carried this front page story on the 2010 US Senate race in California and focused on the three Republican candidates and how they differ.  The stately Gray Lady, the nation’s newspaper of record, used this quote from State Rep Charles DeVore (yes, we call him Chuck). “This is eminently winnable for...

New York Times to begin charging a flat fee for online content

There was a time when we paid for access to content on the Internet.  Remember the days of CompuServe, AOL and Prodigy?  The advent of the World Wide Web did away with these services focing AOL to move towards a free-model instead of a paid subscription.

A Global Warming “Oops” Moment or a National Security Risk?

While the Register’s Orange Punch bloggers are always pretty quick to highlight any information that declares Global Warming to be a hoax or something based on flawed science, it’s always good to get information from other resources.  In this case, the Department of Defense courtesy of a page one story in yesterday’s New York...

Bloggers Behaving Badly

March 5, 2009
By Dan Chmielewski
