brain cloud.

declan mccullagh's piece about conservative judge richard posner warning against the expansion of intellectual property rights casts the debate as left vs. right, when it quite clearly has not been. of course, you have to turn any issue in american politics into left vs. right, because there's only room for two parties and points of view. that is, at least until one of those points of view is eliminated. ¡viva simplificación!
