It actually happened. Now I don’t have to settle for Enigk’s ‘Ok Bear’ reminding me of various SDRE songs… anyone else notice that about ‘Ok Bear’?

E-Mail Surveillance Renews Concerns in Congress →
Let’s face it, even in this day and age with “terrorists” lurking around every corner, the government has to have something better to do than read your email. Whatever happened to finding Osama, anyways?
Congressman Files Bill to Stop Tiered Broadband... →
I would like to see this bill passed but I’m not going to get my hopes up. I have serious doubts that the FCC will protect the public’s interests, as it has often sided with corporate greed in the recent past. Even if it does pass, it seems as if more people care about watching Survivor than participating in democracy…
MySpace to Cut 30% of Staff as Facebook Gains... →
Here’s a thought, if Myspace would have made their website easier to use and fixed all the problems with their back-end they would never have lost as much ground to Facebook. Again, it’s just a thought.
Rest Stops, R.I.P. →
Wow, someone actually wrote a master thesis on Interstate Rest Stops and the article about it wasn’t boring. This is a rather thought provoking look at the times we live in and how our culture is disappearing for corporate profits and reduced state expenses.

“In their ruling, the law lords insisted that the person subject to detention had an absolute right to know the suspicions directed against him.” I expect something similar to emerge from the American Courts when they are asked to rule on the same subject.

Sotomayor need not apologize →
I am almost speechless, after weeks of mind-numbing media coverage, someone actually presents a thought provoking view on Supreme Court Justice Nominee Sotomayor. On Sotomayer’s ‘controversial’ statement made at UC Berkeley : ”She meant that life experience matters in how we see and engage the world — and how we make decisions.”
