Google has changed its algorithm and the Spreading Santorum site is no longer on the first page of results, though the first result (after election tallies) is a link to the Urban Dictionary definition of Santorum. To me, it looks like Google has tweaked their algorithm to favor more recently updated sites, and since the …

Nothing good comes out of the Mackinac Center
I got an email from a reader on an organizing effort he’s involved in at the University of Michigan. I read through all the information he provided. I’m pressed for time this morning, and it looks like this is going forward today, so what follows is his story, edited by me: Currently, Graduate Student Research …
