The guys over at Common Sense & Wonder have pointed out some details about a New York Times piece on the "shrinking middle class." The conclusion: Yep, the "middle class" has been shrinking -- because more people have been getting rich. The article's most egregious error is the clear implication the percentage of those defined […]
It comes as no surprise that when Congress passes a law as far-reaching as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act lawyers will find innovative uses for the tools provided. Some enterprising lawyers decided to use the act, which was intended to prevent people from copying DVDs, copy-protected CDs or MP3 files, to prevent the sale of […]

This is old news, but I'm going to resurrect it because it follows a media storyline: Kerry is a flip-flopper. John Kerry had just pumped up a huge crowd in downtown West Palm Beach, promising to make the state a battleground for his quest to oust President Bush, when a local television journalist posed the […]
Today's anti-527 editorial in The New York Times is interesting for its subtle nod toward the reality that there are some 527s who are supporting Sen. John Kerry.
