RADICAL MILITANT LIBRARIAN

I really really want one of these buttons now in light of this story.

Lets play the Past-Future-President Matching Game and figure out who is most likely to be offended by it in a public space:

Bush=McCain
Bush=Obama
Bush=Bush (the first one)
Bush=Clinton
Clinton=Obama
Clinton=McCain
Clinton=Clinton (the first one)

Solve for X, where X = the constitutional amendment that will be violated

Note: this isn't a political blog, it's one of those pesky "word problems" from chapter 3, solutions to the even numbered examples are in the back of the book.

edit: working on getting a miro channel going for this ;)

Books that are Free: Volume 2

Could it be that time already again? How does he read so fast!

No, no, no. This post is another blast from the past. I actually read this one over the course of a few nights during finals week at Clark as a distraction and I was pleasantly surprised...

Gotta love an honest cover.

Anyway this was a really fascinating read. I am by no means a Political Scientist but there was plenty in there for the Media Scientist in me to nibble on.

Did I mention this one is free online?

Interesting to compare it to his earlier ethereal internet talk in Cyberia.

PS - I totally took part in an IRC interview with Rushkoff not to long ago, and I'm looking forward to his latest project (even if it's just a 404 right now as of writing this).
