Tech at Night: ADA on the Internet, Net Neutrality
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 18th at 03:00 AM |
Good evening. I don’t know how I managed to do a Tech at Night on Friday night. Just barely I guess. Because I’ve been sick from Friday night on, though I was mostly alright today. And so we’re back in business. And we’ll start with a note on more Internet control that the Barack Obama administration is mulling. Yes, again, the content of webpages is | Read More »

Tech at Night: Net Neutrality, Google, Privacy
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 13th at 01:00 PM |
Good morning. Last night Tech at Night didn’t quite come because I was not feeling well at all. But there’s stuff I want to highlight so this morning I’m going to make it happen. Here we go! Want to be more like Europe? Well, in one way, we do: The EU has rejected Net Neutrality regulation as unnecessary. The EU’s equivalent of an FCC Chairman | Read More »

I have a message for some offended students
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 12th at 01:00 PM |
Apparently some students are offended by the sight of the US flag. I have a message for them.
Tech at Night: Google, Wireless Internet
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 11th at 02:45 AM |
Good evening. Even as Google tonight wins some recognition from conservatives for its observing Veterans day on the search homepage, the firm is still under fire. As Machiavelli warned, become the big guy and everyone turns on you. Now it’s the big television networks going after Google. Specifically, they’re blocking Google TV from watching streams of their shows. Fox has since joined the blockade I | Read More »
Tech at Night: Google, Net Neutrality, More Electoral Fallout
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 9th at 01:15 AM |
Good evening. Apologies again for missing two of three Tech at Night episodes last week. I can only plead an overabundance of desire for the weekend causing me to be forgetful on Friday. But that just means we have more to look at tonight, so let’s go. Yes, the forces of Net Neutrality Internet regulation were beaten badly last week. How badly? We already knew | Read More »
Obama sets the modern record for Midterm losses
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 8th at 06:00 PM |
Here are the the last 60 years’ worth of midterm losses, going back to the second Truman midterm, according to Wikipedia for election-on-election losses, which is the standard I use all around. For 2010 I’m using the current CNN projection of a 65 seat Republican gain and a 243 R – 192 D House. Click for full size goodness. Congratulations, Mister President.
Senate Scorecard: RedState vs NRSC
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 8th at 11:30 AM |
The time has come for the Senate Republicans to begin thinking about what to do with the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which this last cycle was run by Senator John Cornyn along with bureaucrat Rob Jesmer. Before any Republican endorses that team to go ahead and run the committee for another cycle, I urge them to consider alternatives. The NRSC has the name and the | Read More »
Silver reverses course, attacks Rasmussen anyway
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 5th at 02:30 PM |
The New York Times’ Nate Silver is now going after Rasmussen Reports again. After the primaries he said Rasmussen was in his crosshairs for ducking out on a number of races by not polling primaries. According to Silver’s own chart though, Rasmussen polled twice as often as the second place firm, and is still Silver’s primary target. Funny that.
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 »

The Democrats did not have to lose this year
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 2nd at 01:30 PM |
Some will try to minimize the importance of any Republican gains tonight by saying the Democrats were bound to lose. Some will even say Democrats had a baked-in loss of 45 or more seats, which implies they had no hope of keeping the House at all, no matter what policy aims they worked to implement. The problem is, that’s nonsense. Cutting to the chase: while | Read More »
Final notes on the California Senate race
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 1st at 02:30 PM |
I’ve obtained a few documents and one link which really tell us where we are in California right now. Per the polling, which has remarkably projected in California little or no TEA party/Republican/Independent/conservative backlash at all, I still see Carly having a one third shot to win this, and if we saw polling which actually demonstrated a partisan enthusiasm gap, that number would have been | Read More »
Tech at Night: Net Neutrality, Google, For The Children
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | October 30th at 03:00 AM |
Good evening. Through the magic of Claritin, my favorite drug, I’m able to bring you tonight’s edition. On the Net Neutrality front, the progressive left is getting delusional. They’re pretending that it matters what their members of Congress think when their President has done not one thing to stop his FCC from going off on its own to break the law, defy the courts, and | Read More »

Boxer getting the benefit of press bias in her favor
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | October 29th at 01:30 PM |
Imagine if Sarah Palin promised reporters she’d take questions, then ran out from the event through the side door to avoid the questioning? Now imagine if Sharron Angle or Christine O’Donnell did it. The same shunned press would call them out for it and say they were fake or even avoiding accountability. Palin, of course, was accused of being entirely unqualified in part to avoiding | Read More »
Jon Ralston and Ed Morrissey call out CNN and Time
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | October 29th at 12:00 PM |
Now that Nate Silver has declared PPP to have a Republican house effect, all eyes turn to CNN to see what kind of house effect they must have. Has the whole polling world gone Republican? Why does CNN get the results it does? Jon Ralston and Ed Morrissey have questions.
Babs Boxer: Desperate enough to encourage lawbreaking
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | October 28th at 01:30 PM |
That’s where we are now in the California Senate race. Babs Boxer’s campaign made an organized, coordinated effort to reach out to schools, supplying teachers with information to disseminate out to students telling them how to volunteer for the Boxer campaign. That is not in dispute. Boxer’s campaign has admitted to it and apologized for it. Of course, what they’re really sorry about is getting | Read More »
