I don&#8217;t have any problems with Sen. Clinton&#8217;s electability, or &#8220;divisiveness&#8221; or any of the other ridiculous junior high tests people seem to like to talk about.   It&#8217;s that I simply don&#8217;t think that she&#8217;s at all committed to anything but herself.  Now, that can be said about many politicians, but it shouldn&#8217;t be the sole driving force behind all of their decisions.  (Hell, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.talkingpointsmemo.com\/archives\/012274.php\">even Dick Armey can say<\/a> he was wrong on Iraq.)  All that said, I&#8217;d become much more appreciative of her if she&#8217;s really serious about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/news\/technology\/0,72549-0.html?tw=rss.index\">this<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.com.com\/2061-10812_3-6155987.html?tag=nefd.top\">Non-disclosure agreements for state legislators<\/a>?  Sounds like a pretty clear breach of Do No Evil, Google.  And since I think Robert X. Cringley may well be onto something with his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pbs.org\/cringely\/pulpit\/2007\/pulpit_20070119_001510.html\">theory that Google&#8217;s planning to build datacenters in most states<\/a> . . . well, we should all be on the lookout.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve added a new link under Media, to the right.
