Liberal one party Canada 0 vs Blogosphere 1

For the moment, to put it nicely, the same thing has happened to the
Liberals in Canada, as has happened to other long-serving single-party
regimes elsewhere in the world. Technology has caught up with their
ability to manage information; and a sheltered population is losing
its fear. The more the ruling party tries to scare them, with
heavy-handed old-media campaigns, the worse things get --
for the ruling party.

Bush the persuader ?

Bush distrusts rhetoric. He hates to explain and persuade. He'd prefer to
decide and delegate. So instead of taking the time to convince members of
Congress -- and for that matter the public -- that the government needs
to start spying on Americans, he went ahead and did it in secret.

-- BowTie.

No Facts in Common

The Web is a festering cesspool of lunacy and emotion: Free Republic,
Daily Kos, Little Green Footballs, Atrios, Instapundit, on and on
and on. Facts only enter the picture when they're favorable.
Emotion rules. There is no common ground, nor a desire for any.

-- Greg Knauss

Nor common facts among left and right.

journalist who worked for the Washington Star, is in position to write
a column from Washington. A reporter for most of his career, he has

positions on many issues.
