Phil Wolff: shrubberyThe hillarious antics of Dubya and his gang.Recall marketing.- July 31, 2003 For about $12,000 you can run a 4" x 5" ad in the business section of the San Jose Mercury News every day for a month, reaching about going to 350,000 households each day, perhaps being read by the same 1.3 million people (9.2 cents per thousand). Or, for about $6,500, you can run a larger ad that goes to 20 million households (3.3 cpm). That's right: advertise yourself in the upcoming recall election. Run on the "Better Tantric Sex" slate or the "A vote for me is a vote for the crunchiest...http://www.mercurynews.info/advertising/RATES.HTM Bush responds to Dean with Dubya's Dayly Diary.- July 25, 2003 LiveJournal, eat your heart out.

The top 20% income bracket in the US makes 49.6% of the total income, while the bottom 20% makes 3.6% of the total income. Fewer than 6% of the RIT freshman class are women. These are hard numbers.

Facts, figures, and and emotional appeals to boot. aka shrubberyhttp://www.johnedwards.com/page.asp?id=125 Blogging as Free Speech.- July 2, 2003 The first freedom, the one that ensures others, is speech. Tolerance of the contrary voice, of dissent from within. Knowing you can speak your mind without repercussion, however distasteful to others, lets you censor yourself less. The soap box. The broad sheet. The pamphlet. Weblogs are in this tradition. The power of the press has never been more available to the citizens of any nation.
