MSNBC trying out “unbiased” replacement for Imus; whither Olbermann?
So, Matt Drudge is reporting that MSNBC is going to try out Michael Smerconish for the Imus spot. Word floating around is that they won’t even consider a progressive host (like the folks at Air America, for instance) because they’re “too biased.” Okay, that’s fine in principle.

Nine signs that Open-Source is fast becoming a fascist movement
There are technology purists who – no matter what Microsoft does – will believe them evil. After all, they charge for their software.
