Reveal Yourself or forfeit your freedom of speech ? ? ? | Jerry's World
https://gorbe1983.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/reveal-yourself-or-forfeit-your-freedom-of-speech
Guess we'll find out together…. Reveal Yourself or forfeit your freedom of speech? Of course online commenters should be afforded anonymity. In all reality, I don’t understand why this is even questionable. So why not offer the same to the people who comment on a writer’s online material? I must’ve missed the clause in the U.S. constitution that read that everyone has freedom of speech unless they decide to speak anonymously. I disagree with Manjoo’s idea. In my opinion, those anonymous commenters wh...

I know that rarely are two blogs the same, but Silver’s blog is definitely one of a kind. The way he uses statistics to explain everything from politics to search engines is fascinating. Being the huge sports guy that I am, naturally I had an immediate response to Silver’s blog post called. A Close Super Bowl? Don’t Bet on It. Unless you have an overabundance of cash and have no problem losing...

Guess we'll find out together…. The Greenprint Project: Fixing the World One Energy Inefficiency at a Time. Felix Colon put away his digital thermometer after visiting the fourth classroom at Liberty School.

In the previous classroom he had to unzip his black wool coat and in the next room he had had to put it back on. A ninth grader at T...

https://gorbe1983.wordpress.com/2011/04/19/james-okeefe-by-any-means-necessary
Guess we'll find out together…. James O’Keefe: By Any Means Necessary. Despite his dubious methods, I’d have to say that James O’Keefe’s reporting is indeed journalism. I mean, let’s look at the definition of the word journalism. According to dictionary.com. The occupation of reporting, writing, editing, photographing, or broadcasting news or of conducting any news organization as a business. O’Keefe suggests in an interview that his tactics as a combination of the guerrilla of Borat, the gotcha of.

Guess we'll find out together…. Who needs calculators and fortunetellers when you have Nate Silver? Nate Silver is a numbers whiz. He has a knack for forecasting the future of politics by using numbers and statistics. The scary thing about it is that his predictions are usually extremely accurate. I read somewhere that Silver, by kindergarten, knew how to multiply double digits figures IN HIS HEAD. Yes, he may not have been very popular with the ladies, but he can certainly add faster than you. Petrino u...
