Her detractors should heed Don Surber:

Reading List For Conservatives Too

I’m all for young Americans getting a better civic education, but why not do that through assigning readings readily available in all public schools? The Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, Gettysburg […]

I may be a political flack, but I don’t see myself as that. Dealing with webloggers and online activists is the latest form of public relations, but instead of pumping out press releases and schmoozing with reporters I communicate with people who mostly weblog, podcast, or use socnets as a hobby. Full-time, professional online content […]

Suicide Online

Filed under Internet

If you didn’t think committing suicide was a cry for help then you should when someone does it live on a webcam. Sadly people in an internet forum didn’t believe the threat and egged him on.
