Just in case you’re as tired as I am of hearing the Clinton Watch brigade (I swear to God NBC news runs a segment by this title) complaining about the Presidential pardons as if it were something new for Presidential clemency to be used as a plum for donors and selfish interest, Salon.com News | The Bush pardons may be a refreshing antidote to present media hypocrisy. (Some “liberal media” we’ve got…)

Not to be self-referential or anything, but Slate is running an article on blogging. Unfortunately, while mentioning several community blogs such as Slashdot, they neglect one of the most successful community-participation sites of all, the Independent Media Center. Or, on the other side of the political arena, Free Republic. These political sites are totally revolutionizing the way people in political movements network, get news, and organize actions. Slashdot … reviews computer books. Oh well.
