The difference between .com and .org

I suspected I wrote my column on the Internet's relation to politics a little too early, but I think it was confirmed when Vice President Dick Cheney said folks should visit FactCheck.com. It is the first time I've heard a non-candidate Web site mentioned in a nationally-televised debate.

Unfortunately for Cheney, FactCheck.com is not the address of the "independent Web site sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania." That Web site is FactCheck.org. Making this even worse for him is that liberal billionaire George Soros bought FactCheck.com and linked it to his own Web site.

Hmm, maybe I should make sure hagginmuseum.com doesn't get bought by, um, its adversaries.
