    Actually, the Tea Party movement has its roots in the Ron Paul Revolution from about 2007. The CNBC incident just made it mainstream.

  12. ehh.. on Your Online Education Experience? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I took two undergrad classes online, Intro to Political Science (my major) and Business Writing. All course materials were posted on Blackboard, and I do not recall any classroom time. My grades in those classes were atrocious, partially because the distraction of the Internet while trying to do the coursework was too much as a 20-something year old student. Obviously, YMMV, but I don't think you can beat having an actual live instructor teach you the material (even something as dull as a writing course).

This ambidextrous armada, no mere attack force is an astounding assembly of articulate aristocrats. assuming the collective affliction has not atrophied, another day of ardent internet argument arises. Under the ambiguous aegis of internet anonymity, all annoying assertations may be announced with reckless abandon. the armored amplifiers of info, The antithesis of approbates, aided and abetted by all things arbitrary. Apology? do not forgive, do not forget. alas I am all aflutter, after the anticipation. You may call me anonymous.

  16. Good luck with that on Google Urged To Let Personal Data Fade Away · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Once you post something on the Internet, it doesn't really disappear. I Google myself from time to time and am shocked to find profiles on websites I haven't visited in ages. Periodically purging data would be a better idea, but then these providers would miss out on all the money they get from selling said data.

  24. Interesting pick, IMHO on Obama Will Nominate Elena Kagan To the Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    Kagan is more to the center than some of the other potential candidates (like Diane Wood) and certainly less liberal than Stevens. I think Obama's trying to get this confirmation process over with without too much bloodshed. The only issues I could see arise would be her lack of scholarship and her alleged lesbianism (tragically). I blogged about it earlier here, there's a bunch of good analysis linked to there.

  25. Re:!newsfornerds on Obama Will Nominate Elena Kagan To the Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    and as we have seen the first year, the fourth year, and potentially the 8th year will mean nothing

    I wish that was true, Obama has managed to do a lot of damage in his fist year.
