Barack Obama's win, launch of Wikipedia and emergence of the iPhone have been listed among the 10 most influential moments on the Internet in the past decade, the annual Webby awards said.
I found a really interesting article on how thermodynamics affects political persuasion. Conservatives and Liberals . The Theory of Island Biogeography is a theory of species population distribution. There are major evolutionary implications in the ability of a species to distribute itself across space and time, not to mention the curious thermodynamics associated with this distribution. That is, species...
I saw Mike Huckabee on Fox and Friends this morning defending Barack Obama and blasting some in the GOP, calling their opposition to what Obama is doing to this country "shameful" and "deplorable". It is very likely Huckabee is planning...
Earlier this week, Sarah Palin wrote on her Facebook page that Newsweek’s choice to use a Runner’s World photo of her in running shorts for its cover was “unfortunate” and “sexist.” Palin’s criticism has since been echoed on both the left and right. Interviewing Palin on his radio show yesterday, Dennis Miller added his voice [...]
The conventional wisdom on Sarah Palin is that she's a divisive figure, and, from what polls tell us, that's true: according to Pollster.com's average , 38 percent of Americans hold a favorable view of her, while 49.2 percent view her unfavorably. So she's in minus territory--11.2 percent more Americans view her negatively than positively--which is bad for any politician running for office (if indeed...
The New York Daily News suggested Thursday that, according to one source, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani might use a run for Senate--if he wins--as a launching pad for taking another stab at the White House in 2012. Giuliani's 2008 presidential campaign went down in flames, more or less, but he remains a nationally recognized figure with a respectable support base. So, in light of this speculation,...

The weekend beckons.... CA-Sen: Boxer Maintains Solid Edge, Even in Ras Poll Given that the Rasmussen poll in question had some data that hinted at a GOP skew (the 55% job approval for President Obama, for example), the news on the Senate race has to be considered very good news for Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer. In the new Rasmussen poll, she leads both of her likely Republican challengers (Carly...
The best finance book I've read so far this year (and I've read a slew of them) is Robert C. Pozen's Too Big to Save? How to Fix the U.S. Financial System. But it fits in a somewhat specialized niche. If you are new to the current crisis, it is not the first book you should read on the topic. For narrative framework, I'd recommend this or this , either followed by this . No: instead of overview, what...
While pundits sing the praises of Statists like Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, and the Democrats work to “fundamentally transform” the United States of America … What exactly, has your Congress Critter done for you (individual sovereignty, freedom, and right to the fruits of your labor) lately? Or, how about over this past year? Nothing, you [...]
