Between July and September of this year, venture investment in the sector dropped precipitously, to its lowest point since the middle of 2006, according to Dow Jones VentureSource. During Q3, there were 23 web 2.0 investments (basically, investment in companies that tap into the web’s ...

Former US defence secretary Colin Powell in conversation with Tom Brokaw on NBC’s flagship Sunday morning show, Meet the Press, on why he plumped for Barack Obama over his Republican colleague John McCain: “I’m also troubled by, not what Senator McCain says, but what members of the party say. And it is permitted to be said such things as, “Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim.” “Well, the correct answer is, he is ...

Download | Play Download | Play We've had our issues with Tom Brokaw in the past, but today he was dead on today in his interview of John McCain, holding the candidate's feet to the fire. Earlier we showed how he hammered McCain on the reality of his position in the polls. In this mashup, Brokaw plays two clips, one of McCain in 2000 explicitly voicing his support for increasing taxes on the wealthy, and ...

Comedy. MR. BROKAW: ...The Congressional Quarterly did a review of your votes, 92 percent of the time you voted with President Bush. So it's a little hard for the public to separate you from this administration, isn't it? SEN. McCAIN: Well, it may be the way you describe it. Yes, in fact it is:

Colin Powell demonstrated his eponymous "Powell Doctrine" of overwhelming force on Sunday when he endorsed Barack Obama on "Meet the Press." The one-time chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff systematically marshaled his assets to neutralize the Republican endgame strategy, which is to suffuse the air around Obama with a vague mist of terrorism, socialism and "otherness."

From a Republican campaign office in Broward County, Florida. To his credit, when the county chairman of the Republican Party heard about the sign he called it "ignorant" and said he was "disgusted." He drove to the office himself to take it down. Plus, can I make two requests? If you're going to make hateful signs about a guy, can you at least spell his name right? And, while you're at it, can you please ...
