Long Tail? Hmm

A quote I missed before in the Wired story, but which seems to illustrate consolidation of power and audience on the Web:

The Web Is Dead. Long Live the Internet | Wired Magazine: "According to Compete, a Web analytics company, the top 10 Web sites accounted for 31 percent of US pageviews in 2001, 40 percent in 2006, and about 75 percent in 2010. “Big sucks the traffic out of small,” Milner says"

Delaware GOP Candidate: Ask Liberals Why They're Nazis

Here's what a candidate identified as for the Tea Party says on the YouTube video in this TMP story Delaware GOP Candidate: Ask Liberals Why They're Nazis in answering a historian who said the separation of church and state first came from Thomas Jefferson:

"'Do you know, where does this phrase separation of Church and State come from? Does anybody know? ... Actually, that's exactly, it was not in Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists. He was reassuring that the federal government wouldn't trample on their religion. The exact phrase 'separation of Church and State' came out of Adolph Hitler's mouth, that's where it comes from. Next time your liberal friends talk about the separation of Church and State ask them why they're Nazis.'"

And here's the text of the letter, provided by the Library of Congress. The relevant phrase from Jefferson:

" I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."

So, have we reached a point there the Library of Congress, the Congress for which this gentleman is running to serve in, is not considered a reliable source?
