Lieberman Concedes in Connecticut:
Sen. Joe Lieberman, Al Gore's VP candidate in 2000, conceded to Ned Lamont late last night in his bid for re-election in the primary run-off for the Democratic party. The question now is what that might mean for the coming mid-term elections. Lieberman has stated that he will run as a third party candidate in the fall elections. Are the Demos about to face the same problems they did in the late 1960s and early 1970s when the party that had come to dominate Washington politics split over Vietnam and civil rights?
The analogy doesn't seem to be quite appropriate this time around, as the Republicans seem to have their hands full with their own problems: corruption beyond anything the Demos have ever managed to achieve, and a split between more progressive leaders like The Gubonator in California and the ultra conservatives who would prefer to see our society slide back into the dark ages.
Technology and Ignorance:
"What? Somebody is spying on me?" AOL has been caught revealing the search habits of thousands of its users, and low and behold, these poor folks didn't have the slightest idea that somebody was watching their every key stroke!
You can read about it in today's New York Times. So much for "computer literacy."
