DaveNet: The role of the media. (A true story)
I spent a few hours driving back and forth to San Francisco, and listened to the News Hour on KQED. I came to an interesting conclusion after listening to the everyone on both sides of the disputed election. They're all lying all the time.
According to NPR's Daniel Schorr, Richard Daley, mayor of Chicago said "Vote early, vote often."
And Huey Long, governor of Louisiana, said: "When I die I want to be buried in Louisiana so I can stay active in politics."

I recently discovered this site, done by a Cal professor. It points to sites done by his students.

I'm looking for pointers to examples of Manila being used in an educational setting.
The Curmudgeon has a list of courses that use weblogs.
