Having received quite a lot of negative email concerning his daily messages, Andrew Tobias has recently gone to a new tactic. He embeds his ultra-liberal, Democratic party message with information that his readers originally signed up for.

Let me explain. Tobias has long been one of the truly terrific writers about anything involving money. Writing in a style that anyone can understand, he explains complex matters in amusing and understandable ways. Often, his messages move beyond money to anything that a reader might find interesting about products and services that are convenient or that save money.

Some years back, Andrew Tobias took on a much more strident tone in his criticism of anyone and everyone who is not a Democrat. So today, we get an interesting (layman’s) guide to how iTunes figures out what’s on a CD. However, it is followed by a rant about some Bush administration policy concerning stem-cell research.

Tobias is Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee.
