WOW! At just a minute past midnight I just happened to surf over to Wikipedia to do a little research when I discovered that today is SOPA day on the internet. I had know this was coming, in order to protest the fatally flawed anti-internet piracy act which had at one time seemed fated to fly through Congress, sites like Google, Facebook and Wikipedia were planning a protest. But seeing that blacked out page where Wikipedia should be was really stunning.

Just read David Brooks column in the NYTimes about the race in South Carolina.
Apparently he brought along his 12 year old son to size up the candidates. The kid liked all of them except Newt Gingrich, who became uncomfortable with the boy's questions on gay marriage -- and then called for security to get Brook's son away from him. Hilarious!!! The kid sounds kind of weird, thought. His heroes include John Boehner and Tupac Shakur. What is Brooks doing to this kid???
