...addition to blocking too much, the filter programs also generally block too little. The Internet is a rapidly changing environment, in which new sites emerge and disappear on a daily basis. No team of investigators could possibly catalog all the objectionable material to be found there--and even if they could, they'd need to start over in a week.

...Tell him that he just became president of the United States." Bush communications director Karen Hughes was overheard relaying that message to her candidate an hour after the debate ended. But before Bush's lead in the snap polls even had a chance to mature (or disappear, as Gore's did after the first debate), the Middle East blew up, and the stock market with it. Six days of debate-related punditry and spin cycling has been abruptly cut short. In the Friday headlines - big, grave, banner headlines with the seriousness of death in them - there was nary a Bush...
