Lobbyist money vs. Reality Distortion Field

May 9, 2002

When I met with Senators Kennedy (well, his staff) and Kerry a couple of years ago on the hill, I remember noticing that Kennedy's office was all Mac. However, it's the Macs' Last Stand on Capitol Hill. When the government is prosecuting Microsoft for being a monopoly, the legislature is shunning alternatives-- effectively endorsing a Microsoft monopoly. Ahh, minor irony.
