Republican Chaos
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 14th at 02:00 PM |
Chaos: Mathematically, we see it when small changes to the inputs of a function produce large, wild changes to the outputs. I believe we’re seeing that now in the GOP primary race, as a weakened Herman Cain and a strengthened Newt Gingrich, combined with a steady Mitt Romney and a resilient Rick Perry, turn it into a four cornered brawl.

Tech at Night: Free Press under pressure, Cyberterrorists get arrested, Same old FCC
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 11th at 03:30 AM |
Free Press is getting the heat. It’s been exposed through FOIA that the far left front group was secretly coordinating media strategy with people at the FCC, including Commissioner Michael Copps. So when Copps makes a statement about media regulation, Free Press’s pet issue, I have to assume they wrote it for him. Media Reform is their code for nationalization of the press, after all. | Read More »

Tech at Night: Post-Election Edition
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 4th at 03:00 AM |
Sorry for missing Tech at Night on Monday, but I had to rest up for Election Day. And of course, as you may have heard, Republicans ended up having a good night. What you may not have heard though, was that the forces of radical Internet regulation had a very bad night. Democrats went for broke on Net Neutrality but as covered by Moe Lane | Read More »

Joe Miller in third? Not so fast.
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | October 28th at 01:00 PM |
Continuing Politico’s apparent strategy of linking to obscure polls that say bad things about Republicans for shock and traffic value in this wave year, the site now reports Joe Miller to be in last place. For several reasons, one has to discount this poll’s predictiveness of the coming election.
Tech at Night: Google, Daily Kos, Australia, Nuclear Power, Fraud, DRM
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | October 19th at 02:00 AM |
Previously we covered Chris Bowers working over at Daily Kos on a linking scheme to manipulate Google’s search service. Now we come across a new attack on the company, a plan to manipulate click tracking the firm does to figure out what links are most interesting to its users. Of course, the Daily Kos folk want to smear Republicans using Google. Again, we look to | Read More »

Barbara Boxer: Unequipped for the job of Senator
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 23rd at 09:59 AM |
Barbara Boxer might have a reason to feel touchy about her title of Senator, it seems. Not only is she facing a determined, conservative challenger in Chuck DeVore, but even her own caucusmates don’t think she’s equipped for the job. In short, they think she’ll botch any job she’s given the responsibility for, so they’re taking responsibilities away from her. Says Politico: In private conversations, | Read More »
