SOTU Pt. 2: The Power of Positive Thinking

by on February 4, 2005

The Internet’s absence from the President’s State of the Union address, noted here yesterday, didn’t escape our friends at the Progress and Freedom Foundation either. In comments yesterday, PFFer Kyle Dixon mused hopefully that “the speech did not quite vow to continue such policies as the FCC’s efforts to promote investment and innovation in digital technologies by minimizing regulation. But it did not rule out those policies either.”

It’s only February, but Kyle gets my vote already for “Glass Half Full Statement of the Year.”

Actually, Kyle makes some good points, even if he himself admits he is stretching far for good news. See his full piece here.
