Pearcey at the National Examiner
Rick Pearcey now has a column at the National Examiner. “With an insider’s eye and outsider’s edge, Rick Pearcey spots the headlines and subtexts that matter.”

The Times provides a visualization of the words that were used in the Democrat and Republican conventions.
