Happy Hour

Looks like we who work all have something to celebrate (scroll to the bottom):

In August 2005, I wrote a column about a recent National Labor Relations Board (Republican majority thereof) ruling that upheld the legality of a company's banning its employees from fraternizing off the job, citing as a woozy precedent a previous ruling that had banned hotel employees from fraternizing with guests. Earlier this month, the D.C Court of Appeals overturned that 2005 ruling -- reaffirming, broadly speaking, that the employer-employee relationship isn't that of a lord to a serf, and, more narrowly, that happy hour with your co-workers is your true-blue American right.

If anyone I work with wants to go out for a few drinks, I'm game.

News War

Just spent some time watching online content from Frontline's newest series on the press in the age of subpoenas and bloggers. It starts tuesday at 9 pm, and looks worth the watch.
