It looks like a political figure has once again been caught (or appears to have been caught) in a scandalous situation.  This scandal is bigger than the Spitzer scandal in the scandal matrix, because Edwards has not only been unfaithful to his wife, who is battling breast cancer, but he also has fathered a love […]

It’s not that I am upset by the cover, it’s just that a lot of other people seem to be.  The cover is clearly not meant to say Obama’s a terrorist or whatever, but it does kind of seem cartoonish and innappropriate from the standpoint of someone who gets easily offended- which I don’t.  But it […]

Just read this story about a modern day case of slavery.  This woman “employed” two Indonesian woman.  And by employed I mean she beat them and abused them while they worked for her; after she had confiscated their passports and visas.  The family paid the “housekeepers’” families 100 dollars a month.  Besides, doesn’t she just LOOK […]

Today the Open Publishing Lab at Rochester Institute of Technology pulled the trigger on a really cool media experiment.
I’m still waiting to see if they’ll publish a full report on the technologies used, accrued material output (both hard and soft), and further materials on the medium syncs, but here’s what happened today, put very simply:

So Obama finally decides to “denounce” his former pastor, Rev. Wright and gave his sharpest view of the man yet when he said (about his remarks): “It is antithetical to my campaign. It is antithetical to what I’m about. It is not what I think America stands for.”  I expect him to reject him soon […]

I did something very rudimentary and inconclusive, but I’m going to write about it anyway.  The claims that Hilary Clinton has made about media bias have intrigued me since she started making them, around when she lost Iowa and then won New Hampshire.  The problem is, there’s no way to prove who a candidate supports […]
