Comments Off on Should We Buy “Guaranteed Traffic” or “50,000 visitors”? It really is “too good to be true.” Several dozen web sites promise to deliver 10,000 to 100,000 visitors to your web site, for a low fee — much less than one cent per visitor, which is the cheapest you could ever draw traffic through Google’s AdWords program.

Comments Off on The Politics of Defeat: George W. Bush and the “Troop Surge” — The Blame Game January 11, 2007 — Earlier this week, my wife commented that President Bush was scheduled to make a “major announcement” on Wednesday (January 10) about the war in Iraq. My immediate response was to assert that Bush’s goal was simple: to announce an unacceptable, unreasonable proposal to escalate the failed “war” in order to force the Democrats to object and refuse to allow it. Then, Bush will claim that the failure of the war in Iraq is the fault of the Democrats’ refusal to accept his last-minute miracle solution, and not Bush’s fault. Read more »
Comments Off on The Legacy: Terrorism and Deception (2006) August 10, 2006 –– This morning, I read news reports of a “foiled terrorist plot” in London. My response: disbelief.

Comments Off on Privacy, Liberty, Respect, and the U.S. Constitution: Lawrence v. Texas (2003) (June 26, 2003) Something incredible happened today: the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it is unconstitutional for the government to regulate private sexual conduct, and that the government may not act in ways that would demean persons in homosexual relationships. (Lawrence v. Texas).
In a 6-3 decision, accompanied by a broad and sweeping written opinion, the Court struck down a Texas law which criminalized consensual sexual conduct between two persons of the same sex. In doing so, the Court overturned a 1986 decision in the case of Bowers v. Hardwick, which had upheld a Georgia “sodomy” law. Read more »
