I just turned in the week 4 assignments and week 5 has not been posted yet, but thanks to wyvernfriend I already have some timely material on this weeks subject:

Not a fan of the Patriot Act, not a fan of the National Review, I think these people need their heads examined. Murdock makes librarians into allies of the Islamist movement because many don't beleive that one's borrowing habits are any damn business of the goverment. It's ironic that the same conservatives who demand that government leave business alone turns about face and demands big brother jump down the skirt of evey woman and climb into the stack of every reader. One thing you can say about the Radical Right, they're not concerned with consistancy . . .
