Has Brad Carson fallen behind in Oklahoma?
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 14th at 06:00 PM |
By request, we look at a 2012 House race today. PPP polled Oklahoma’s second district for the Friends of Brad Carson. Carson, a Democrat, of course won this seat previously in 2000 and 2002, giving it up in 2004 in a failed Senate run. Dan Boren, also a Democrat, won the seat in 2004 and has held it ever since. Boren is retiring, so Carson | Read More »
Tech at Night: Hacker threats and arrests, we must defeat Patent Reform and the Texas Amazon Tax, Sprint’s spending exposed
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 13th at 11:30 PM |
The cyberterrorist groups Anonymous and its apparent splinter group Lulzsec are getting bold. The latter gang of criminals is attempting to blackmail the United States Government after attacking government networks, which is just insane and I hope will lead to mass arrests. While the former is attacking the Spanish government after arrests made there, and suffering further damage from mass arrests in Turkey. I hope | Read More »

Texans: It’s time to take action against the Amazon / Internet Sales Tax
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 13th at 01:00 PM |
State governments are timid beasts. So often the country will refuse to move in a new policy direction unless one state jumps out ahead and acts first. In the past, California was often the dynamic frontrunner. Now, Texas is increasingly the example that other states ought to follow. When it comes to the Amazon Tax, or the plan to change the tax laws in Texas | Read More »
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: A lot of tech legislation I hate, and a big win against the Fairness Doctrine
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 9th at 03:30 AM |
With fourteen articles to run through tonight, a near record, I don’t have time to waste. We’ll start with Joshua Trevino bringing us Bill Peacock on the Texas Amazon Tax. Texas SB 1 contains the tax Governor Perry already vetoed this session, and it needs defeated again. Says Peacock: “Gov. Perry was right to veto the Amazon tax bill, and he’d be right if he | Read More »

Tech at Night: Let’s put hackers in jail, please?, the opponents of Internet regulation strike back
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 7th at 03:30 AM |
I really can’t wait until the Lulzsec crew learns about the joys of frogmarching. These arrogant punks need to have some sense smacked into them, and felony charges would be a great way to do that. That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you improve domestic cybersecurity: find the people breaking into servers and take away their liberties under existing US law. More in security news: | Read More »

Tech at Night: Amazon Taxes march on, FCC colludes with Marxist activists
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 4th at 03:30 AM |
I am so sick of California. While it’s good that the “privacy” bill didn’t make it out of the Senate, it’s not so good that the Amazon tax is going on to the Senate. Texas: Don’t be like us. Defeat your Amazon tax in SB 1. And the hacks go on: Anonymous attacks.. Iran?, its apparent offshoot lulzsec attacked PBS and Sony, but leaves itself | Read More »

Tech at Night: Amazon taxers try to circumvent the Perry Veto, Dana Rohrabacher fights a patent disaster, and more House business
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 2nd at 03:00 AM |
Lots to cover tonight, thanks in part to skipping Monday for Memorial Day. But of course I’ll start with my own post on the AT&T/T-Mobile deal, explaining from the ground up why the George Soros/Sprint arguments contradict themselves. Government should get out of the way, especially state governments like California’s getting too big for their britches. It’ll be better for all of us who buy | Read More »

The Sprint/George Soros argument on AT&T/T-Mobile makes no sense
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 1st at 05:00 PM |
If Sprint is weak, then it fears competition and favors oligopoly. Therefore, Sprint’s opposition to the AT&T/T-Mobile deal projects the deal would increase competition nationally. Regular readers of my Tech at Night series have seen me make the case for the proposed merger of AT&T and T-Mobile USA by pointing out how it would improve competition because the two companies combined could compete better with | Read More »

Anthony Weiner and his eponymous Twitter “hack”
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 28th at 10:00 PM |
Friday night Anthony Weiner, Democrat from New York City and Client Number Nine‘s successor in the House (Edit: mixed up my NY Dems, sorry!), had a problem on Twitter. His account, @RepWeiner, had posted on it a rather inappropriate message. It went like so: RepWeiner @GennetteNicole http://yfrog.com/h25m3luj 22 hours, 18 minutes ago The Twitter post and the image on YFrog have since been deleted. To | Read More »
Tech at Night: George Soros wants your Internet, and the Democrats are peddling online censorship, and Ryan Giggs is still an adulterer
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 28th at 03:00 AM |
Have you ever noticed that the Soros-funded left never refers to Sprint Nextel by the firm’s full name? They only talk about Sprint. You know why? If they say Sprint Nextel, it’ll remind everyone that when #3 Sprint and #4 Nextel merged, wireless competition, prices, and service all improved. If you remember that fact, they think you might make the “wrong” predictions about #2 AT&T | Read More »

Tech at Night: Amazon Tax in California, George Soros and OSI loom behind the AT&T opposition, Net Neutrality, More problems with the FCC’s 706 report
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 26th at 03:00 AM |
This week I already called upon Rick Perry to veto the Texas Amazon Tax, and now I’m left to hope that California Democrats will be less stupid than Joe Straus. Sigh. Meanwhile the posturing around the AT&T/T-Mobile deal continues. We find from a press conference with COMPTEL CEO Jerry James that the Rural Cellular Alliance is joining with radical left, George Soros/OSI-funded group Public Knowledge | Read More »

Governor Perry: Veto HB 2403, the Texas Amazon Tax!
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 24th at 02:00 PM |
I like Texas. The state has many great things going for it, including a friendly tax and business climate. However Texas has to keep working to stay on top, so when South Carolina is backing down from its refusal to work with Amazon, and Tennessee has dropped its Amazon tax bill, it’s disappointing and frustrating to see Texas moving forward with punitive taxation against an | Read More »
Tech at Night: Crowder on Net Neutrality, Walden on the FCC, Apple on the patent troll, Ryan Giggs is an adulterer
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 24th at 03:30 AM |
Top story: the great Steven Crowder has a new video on Net Neutrality. With all the hype on Twitter leading up to this release, I was looking forward to Crowder’s video release. It’s funny, accurate, and devastating to the left. As usual for Crowder. Sometimes a patent troll runs into fire.

Tech at Night: Claire McCaskill on a Net Neutrality leash, 4G LTE is amazing stuff, Internet censorship doesn’t work
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 21st at 03:00 AM |
Ah, Claire McCaskill. Her not particularly active Twitter account said this week that she wants to be careful about regulation of privacy online, lest those regulations cause us all to have “less access to amazing stuff.” True statement I think. Too bad she refused to stick to her guns on the radical left’s key policy, Net Neutrality. On that issue, McCaskill told MyDD government regulation | Read More »
