... And the News

...Somehow I missed this Washington Post article about Facebook. Now, if you've been following my warnings about the dangers of Facebook and MySpace, you will thoroughly enjoy this 180 degree spin from Phil Noble, founder of PoliticsOnlineine:

"In 1968, Bobby Kennedy showed up and hung around the student center, and Gene McCarthy did the same. Facebook is the student center of college students these days," said Phil Noble, founder of PoliticsOnline, a Web site that examines the relationship between politics and the Internet."

(Well, I guess that's one way of looking at it. Frankly, I think the internet is a neutral tool that can be used for good or evil, depending...)

... The Hill reports there is yet another new liberal website seeking to copy conservative ideas:

"Kenneth Baer and Andrei Cherny, both speechwriters and authors who have worked within the New Democrat movement, will launch Democracy: A Journal of Ideas today at the National Press Club. ...The first issue appeared online yesterday at www.democracyjournal.org."

... And the Dems have launched a spoof George Allen site.
