...surprising that we would try to apply the same principle to politics and political news. Patching together customized networks of pundits, political comics, online news feeds and talk shows, we can choose among universes in which the polls show a dead heat or a blowout, the National Guard memos are truthful or fraudulent, the economy is rebounding or relapsing. You can watch Fox News and see your surrogate reduce my surrogate to a sputtering fool. I can go to my favorite political sites and follow the blogrolls, link after link, discovering how vast is the universe of people who realize...

But buyers beware: this chair is sure to heat up competition for Dad's favorite seat in the living room?not to mention the remote...
Dance-hall reggae may be one of the hottest things thrumming in the U.S. club scene, but the genre's current headline act Beenie Man is also taking heat from gay activists for his violently homophobic lyrics. His song Damn includes the lyrics, "I'm dreaming of a new Jamaica, come to execute all the gays." And the activism seems to be working. A campaign called Stop Murder Music, launched by London-based OutRage, forced MTV to cancel an Aug. 28 performance in Miami by the Grammy Award--winning reggae artist. With the help of OutRage, activists in New York...
