It's Bush's fault

I'm not trained in psychiatry, but it really doesn't take much more than common sense to diagnose extreme cases of Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Newspapers End

Whenever I talk about the future of the newspaper business -- and I'm talking about 20-30 years down the line, not next week -- I get that weird "Childhood's End" vibe. For those of you who haven't read the novel, it's basically about a next step in human evolution. It's not really scary, bad or […]
