I told you on Monday, when I announced that I was joining both the NRA and EFF that The Tea Party movement has more in common with the hacktivist community than either side wants to admit. That common ground is not expansive.  The Tea Party movement certainly is...

My friends, I thought they'd never end, you'd click and click, on Alan Grayson ads. From the email archives, Jim sent this along back in early December 2011. What a month.  What a month. Heh, for those of you who know what I mean. ...

One of the things I missed today during my long drive was the White House calling the ad embedded below "repugnant and cowardly." I'll tell you what else is regugnant and cowardly, a Presidential statement made by exploiting children on stage as a sympathy...
