Not for sale: It has come to my attention that recently Microsoft Corp. sent Acer Ferrari laptop computers to about 90 bloggers to assist them in reviewing Microsoft’s new Vista operating system. As a result, some columnists criticized said bloggers for accepting a $2,200 gift from a company whose product they were then supposed to […]

Well, maybe: There’s a bit of a tempest in a teacup going on at the Department of Interior, with a number of leading wingnut bloggers getting their panties in a twist over DoI’s recent moves to block access to weblogs.

Buck and I are getting a bit gloomy up here in Pensito Review’s musty, dusty electronic garret because our cohort Trish has been out of commission due to a bit of scheduled (as opposed to emergency, but not elective, so don’t go there!) surgery.
