obama vs. the nea
via ATLmalcontent by ATLmalcontent on February 17, 2008
You can argue -- correctly -- that public schools are underfunded, but even an unlimited budget couldn't overcome the pernicious influence of the National Education Association. It opposes every potentially constructive reform, protecting inferior teachers at the expense of students. Fortunately, Obama has expressed a willingness to take on one of his party's most loyal constituencies: At...

If it's easy, and it works, high usage shouldn't be a surprise
via Chris Sacca's 'What is left?' by Christopher on February 17, 2008
With interest, I read recent accounts of Google's new mobile leader, former MSFT exec Vic Gundotra, exclaiming his shock that iPhone users sent fifty times the number of queries to Google than other mobile device users. "We thought it was a mistake and made our engineers check the logs again,” he relayed to the Financial Times. Yet, when I discussed this theme with former colleagues at...

But what the Obama-worshipping media isoverlooking is that in each of the 25 state contests Obama has won sofar,...

via Valleywag: Google by Nicholas Carlson on February 28, 2008

They're up 40.1 percent year-over-year. On all major search engines, paid clicks are up 45.7 percent year-over-year -- up 65 percent for retailers and non-mortage-related financial services.

Reshare this: An ACTA Call to Arms: No More Secret Government
via The Patry Copyright Blog by (author unknown) on June 02, 2008
Shared by EricaJoy "Last week I posted about the proposed Ant-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). The issue is getting coverage in the blogosphere, but none in the mainstream press at least in the U.S., which is regrettable, since the issues raised are of great public interest. Since my last blog, I have received information from Geneva and national capitals that requires updating the blog,...

Project Implicit
via The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan by Andrew Sullivan on February 14, 2008
Harvard has an online test to see who you really like for president. It has to do with reflexes and positive associations. I'm a little jet-lagged and out of it, but my own score gives McCain a slight lead over Obama in the depths of my psyche. And yes, I disliked Huckabee more than Clinton. Just.

Cookie Monster [Girl Scouts]
via Jezebel by Dodai on February 18, 2008
An unknown couple paid for Girl Scout cookies with a fake $100 bill, reportsUSA Today. When the Scouts asked why it looked strange, the couple told them it had been washed. The girls gave the pair of con artists $93.50 in change after the purchase, and the exchange eradicated the Scouts' earnings that day. A local resident ended up donating $100 to the troop, but is there a patch for "Feeling...
