...everything from book deals, to journalism jobs, to the hatred of would-be brides everywhere. BLOGS FOR BLOGS’ SAKEA political junkie, activist, and blogger for Cambridge Common while on Harvard’s campus, Andrew H. Golis ’06, who was also a Crimson columnist, found an ideal job after graduation. Currently, he blogs and edits for TalkingPointsMemo.com (TPM), an influential blog nexus.TPM, which recently broke the story of the politicized firings of eight U.S. attorneys, garners upwards of 500,000 hits a day. Golis edits one forum, opened to conduct chatter on the midterm elections...

No, such...
Pundits often talk about the digression of our society via the television, the fact that our American minds are being warped by the horrors on broadcast TV—the very shows we turn to for a much-needed diversion from the difficulties of reality. As a columnist in a recent issue of Time magazine points out, the new target of political muscle is violence, but not that of the talk-show variety. No, instead, politicians now have their sights set squarely on the increasingly prevalent hour-long primetime dramas...
