And how long will it be before Congress interferes here?

Senator Benjamin Cardin (D-MD) has introduced legislation to permit newspapers to continue to operate as non-profit businesses. Given the utter lack of transparency or accountability in the non-profit sector as it is this would be courting even greater politicization of the press.  Finally, do you want groups like the SEIU or ACORN controlling newspapers?

10 rights you don't have

As much as I like the Clash this is a much better statement on our (non)rights.

My favorite point:

3. You do not have a right to a retirement account provided by your children. You know that at some point in your life you will be old and won’t want, or be able, to work. Plan accordingly. The government does not have the right to steal from your children so that you can vacation in Florida every winter.
