But corporations do worse to protect they bling
I've never believed government was the solution to everything. In fact, I've often stated on this blog that giving the government power - even when that power is a obvious solution to an obvious problem - is something we need to think long and hard abou… more »

Terrorist threats
Newsweek tries to think their use of the word 'terrorist' through.
I can't say I think they did a good job.
Stack flew his plane into an IRS building, which is significant enough of a choice to call it a terrorist act. Flying a bigger plane in… more »
Rocked the crowd better and stole the whole show from you
"Fox ‘News’ spins overtime to minimize Ron Paul CPAC straw poll win."
This is the real problem that may keep the GOP out of power for a while, the rejection of politicians that people like Ron Paul hold can appeal to independent voters, rather than t… more »
Take it personal
I've fiddled around with Star Trek Online for an hour or so, so it's too early for me to give even a preliminary review, but looking at Rory's review over at Gamespot:

And that my son comes to one conclusion: total chaos
"Fox News scrambles to discredit CPAC after Ron Paul wins presidential poll."
A lot of people are convinced Republicans are improving their prospects for the next two rounds elections, but I'm not so sure. In the next presidential race, I'd say Ron P… more »
Got my name not numbers on my credit cards
Today's the day the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 goes into effect. USA Today has a decent summary of the changes.
