"The post-Christmas headline reads: “THE MOLOTOV PARTY,” and it’s not talking about a fiery New Year’s Eve bash. Naturally, it refers to the GOP and accompanies a photo of the top candidates, with every single letter of the headline capitalized for emphasis. Within a few hours, it morphs into “THEY ♥ MANDATES,” an attack this time on Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.


Political junkies would recognize that level of anti-Republican vitriol and readily identify the perpetrator – Huffington Post. HuffPo, as it is sometimes called, has evolved from a simple news aggregator into one of the most sophisticated propaganda operations the world has ever seen."

The site was started by political chameleon Arianna Huffington, who used to be conservative before she discovered it was far more lucrative to be liberal. The zeros that entrepreneur Huffington paid bloggers for their content came back to her as $20 million to $30 million or more, along with $4 million a year. That was part of the $315 million sale to AOL that turned Huffington into a media mogul and the most powerful propagandist since a guy named Goebbels.

Internet denizens might say that last comment violated Godwin’s Law, as Third Reich references often do. And it would, except it’s true. Huffington heads up a “news” team whose two aims are to drive traffic and to drive conservatives and the GOP into the ground. The HuffPo team is good at both.

GoDaddy withdraws SOPA support in face of massive protests | The Verge

GoDaddy withdraws SOPA support in face of massive protests | The Verge:

By Nilay Patel on December 23, 2011

"Internet domain registrar GoDaddy just announced it will no longer support the controversial SOPA legislation after being threatened with a massive boycott from users who oppose the bill.

GoDaddy had been an outspoken supporter of SOPA until just now, even saying that it had worked with lawmakers to draft its provisions, but that support ultimately made the company an easy target for SOPA's furious opposition.

A boycott movement started with Reddit users planning a December 29th "Leave GoDaddy Day," and Cheezburger CEO Ben Huh threatened to move his company's 1,000 domains away from GoDaddy unless the company reversed course. Faced with concrete impact to its business, it appears GoDaddy did the only sensible thing — fold." http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/23/2657930/godaddy-withdraws-sopa-support-in-face-of-massive-protests

    And based on the fiscal outlook for the coming year, the lean times are far from over -- administrators are already projecting at least a $4 million shortfall for the fiscal year that starts July 1.

C. Fraser Smith: Three lives that helped define us

Sadly it is behind a pay wall; Mr. Fraser Smith is an awesome writer... I'm just saying...

They were, as a friend said about one of them, “like planets that created an alternate gravity where people like us could thrive.”

They were cranky and contentious and demanding. Patience was not among their virtues.

Their confidence caught our eye. They were, each in their way, leaders.

They are among the losses we suffered in 2011.
