"... this attitude presents a conundrum for advertisers, who are simultaneously being told that consumers want to see more relevant ads but don't want to have their activities tracked in order to make those ads relevant."

W to be honoured in SF

Looking to honor the forty-third President of the United States of America, George W. Bush, the recently formed Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is looking to change the name of the Oceanside Wastewater Treatment Facility. It seems the group would like to rename the SF Zoo adjacent facility to the "George W Bush Sewage Plant."

Is it Jesus or Obama?

Treat Obama like Reagan?
Submitted by sami on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 21:22The popular view is that Obama hasn't detailed his positions on issues very well in speeches. (Perhaps that's why he's such a good talker.)
VDH makes a good case that Obama should emphasize the details more: http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=Njg1MDZkNTZmYTQ3ZGQ3ZWQ4MmMzOWNmYjV...
Spelling out his conservative convictions helped Reagan, why wouldn't it help Obama to do the same for his liberal policy ideas?
