NET LIFE 16 AUG 09

No doubt about it! The Internet is impacting us every day in every way, on local to global fronts:::

NYT Columnist Maureen Dowd: Palin Sees Obama As 'Human Prey' She Seeks To Shoot. One of Dowd's columns turned up in the Sunday Times Union.

Maureen Dowd vs. Sarah Palin

Cockeyed Optimism is Better Than Cynicism
Letter: So, why is Dowd so stuck on Sarah?

Why Maureen Dowd isn't in jail (and a question for Dennis)...Speaking of jail, Blogger and Internet Talk Radio host Hal Turner was jailed after posting sensitive information about Federal judges. The blogger's case may test the limits of free speech.

Diane Cameron writes (in Sunday Times Union PERSPECTIVE section, pB3) "Social networking sites lead to disconnect" - urging readers "Say No To Facebook." How silly, and what a waste of valuable newspaper space! It's almost as pitiful as the so-called "TV Magazine" the Times Union sends out, nothing more than a flier for the cable company... and while I'm at... how about those Station ID slides for CBS6 which might make one think the station is viewable for many of us only on cable... which, come to think of it is TRUE... thousands of 2nd and 3rd household TV sets can no longer receive WRGB after it switched to a puny signal to save on its National Grid bill!
