This week in The Pendulum...

By The Pendulum

For the first issue of the summer, the opinions section will have a nice little balance of that warm, fuzzy optimism that you've grown accustomed to reading in other publications, and the typical grizzled, commentary that tends to dominate the editorial pages.

Working for the Clampdown

By The Pendulum

Democracies are such a problem. Sure, they provide a solid basis for capitalist enterprise, grant people greater control of the government and give a nation greater credibility on the world stage.

YouTube and the digital TV age

By The Pendulum

Hulu has dominated the internet television and movie industry ever since it began, offering a legitimate home for shows that couldn't be shut down by copyright laws.

Um, Thanks, Hollywood...?

By The Pendulum

It's not too often that an opinions section will have an editorial or contributor that writes only to commend something--I'm pretty sure Morgan has made that point before--but I think that it is well deserved in this case.

Christmas is coming around the regular time this year!

By pendulumopinions

According to Ben Bernanke, the king of all things monetary (at least until his term is up, which doesn't make him that much of a king,) the economy should be ready and raring to go come the end of the year!
