Last week, I wrote the first part of this article, about public interest groups that focus specifically on technology. I introduced Public Knowledge and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. As I said last week, "These public interest groups are in a constant battle to fight against laws that restrict our freedom or threaten our privacy, or to alter aged laws and policies that don't keep current with rapidly evolving technology. Their victories???and there are many???have improved the lives of everyone who's ever owned a tech toy."

The plan is closely modeled after the bipartisan Wyden-Ryan plan that debuted a few months back. But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) is claiming that Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) told him that he opposes the Ryan plan. Is that true?

Tim Tebow is coming to New York, and not everyone's happy about it, nor should they be. Mark Sanchez, the Jets' incumbent starting quarterback, definitely shouldn't be; his job is a lot less safe than it was this morning. Cornerback Antonio Cromartie isn't; he knows this is the mother of all distractions for a team that doesn't need more. Some Jets fans are, but some aren't, and the latter have a pretty good argument: For a team whose problem is an inaccurate, inconsistent quarterback, Tebow is a pretty weird solution. You know who is happy, though? You know who is beyond ecstatic -- probably, at this moment, rolling on the floor in paralyzing mirth? That would be the top editors of the New York Post and the New York Daily News, and their bosses, owners Rupert Murdoch and Mort Zuckerman.
