This is starting to sound a lot like the Trent Lott debacle. First the quote. Then the media mentions, with attempts by various spin doctors to marginalize the comments (in this case, the Santorum staff tried to say that his comments were “limited to the Supreme Court case”). Now Daily Kos unearths a 2002 fundraising letter.…

April 22, 2003. This week, both InformationWeek and Baseline have feature stories about new technology at Delta Air Lines, so it’s a good opportunity to benchmark Baseline, a new IT magazine from Ziff Davis, to its old school press-release republishing counterparts.

[metafilter.com] Dean is my choice for the next president. After reading this, I’m even more impressed. [Mike…

In many circles (certainly several that are reading this blog), having Rush Limbaugh despise you is as close to an endorsement as we’ll take from him. Be sure to head over to Rush Limbaugh’s web site, where he rolls the quote from this week’s Fox News Sunday – Mara Liasson (NPR) proclaims Howard Dean the…

Turns out I’m not the first to notice Prof. Bailyn’s comments about pamphlets being very similar to weblogs. Dan Bricklin, co-creator of VisiCalc and founder of Trellix, remarked on the very same thing two years ago (almost to the day, oddly enough): I think reading some of what Bailyn had to say back in 1967…

Governor Dean just published a position paper at CommonDreams.org, a progressive web site: On day one of a Dean Presidency, I will reverse this attitude. I will tear up the Bush Doctrine.
