An editorial today in the Boston Globe, posits that the blogosphere appears to lack virtue. It is - unregulated, and often undisciplined, allowing a carefree blooming of a thousand unverified opinions - (my paraphrasing of the Globes comments).
But change is coming, in the persons of Arianna Huffington and the New York […]
Reading a Boston Globe editorial this morning and several other newspapers and blogs on the net, I came away with the thought that the arguments being made regarding the judicial filibuster issue are missing the point.
The real concern here is not whether the present majority will pack the judiciary or the viewpoint of the present […]
I received a response from Pepsico, referring me this link
I would say that her choice of analogies, if not actually intended as a slight to the US, was poor.
Ms. Nooyi obviously isn’t a fan of the administrations foreign policy and claims that, right now, we are collectively perceived as ‘giving the world the finger’.

“Carrying a handgun in the District is prohibited. All firearms are to be kept at one`s home or place of business.

Conspiracies abound, if the title is to be credited. I don’t really expect an editorial in this appendage of the NY Times to be other than against any nominees President Bush may propose, but their view of democratic procedures appears to be somewhat warped.
Commenting upon several appeals court nominees, whom they describe as far-right conservatives, […]
We really should stop applying catch phrases and sound bites to the act of dying. It is, or should be a very personal and familial process.
These phrases mean different things to a variety of different people, many of whom are attempting to sell one particular cause or another.
This particular phrase - Death with Dignity - […]
The Court has again, forced a redefining of societal mores, based not on the Constitution (1) nor on the will of the majority, but on their own political/societal proclivities and their support of the imposition of world opinion as a determining influence in American jurisprudence.
The Supreme Court majority rationale, in the recent Roper vs Simmons […]
