Perhaps the most disheartening development of the war -- at home, anyway -- is the number of liberals who have allowed Bush-hatred to take the place of thinking. Speaking with otherwise perceptive people, I have seen the same intellectual tics come up time and time again: If Bush is for it, I'm against it. If Bush says it, it must be a lie. Their opposition to Bush has made liberals embrace principles -- such as the notion that the United States must never fight without U.N. approval except in self-defense -- to which the Clinton administration never adhered (see Operation Desert Fox in 1998, or the Kosovo campaign in 1999). And it has made them forget that there are governments in the world even more odious and untrustworthy than the Bush administration.

Amen. Assuming that anything Bush is for must be bad takes the exact amount of brain power the left accuses the right of using when taking everything Bush is for as good. At one point, the left appreciated nuance - what's happened?

Everyone who has TiVo (TIVO) loves TiVo; it is to television what Macintosh was to computing -- a revelation. Which is exactly why Apple (AAPL) should buy TiVo and once again redefine the intersection of culture and technology.

This is a very interesting idea. TiVo has already announced they will be using Rendezvous, allowing TiVo's to access media files stored on a Mac. And Steve Jobs has demonstrated he has at least some influence with media companies through Pixar and the recent Apple Music Store. Can Steve Jobs resolve Big Media's concerns with TiVo?
