Bill to Treat Bloggers as Lobbyists Defeated

Lawrence Person writes "The attempt to require political bloggers to register as lobbyists previously reported by Slashdot has been stripped out of the lobbying reform bill. The vote was 55 to 43 to defeat the provision. All 48 Republicans, as well as 7 Democrats, voted against requiring bloggers to register; all 43 votes in favor of keeping the registration provision were by Democrats."

Dantooine, the planet Leia named to Grand Moff Tarkin as the location of the hidden rebel base, was home only to an abandoned complex. Tarkin asserted that Dantooine was too remote to make an "effective demonstration" and instead destroyed Leia's (adopted) homeworld of Alderaan.

The difference btw. liberalism and libertarian n/m

Offtopic comment on your sig because I find it humorous. Sometime around 2001 I think it was, the internet was declared as non-Kosher for Orthodox Jews by the Jewish leaders who make these decisions, at least for that specific portion of the faith. So techncially, your sig's prediction has already come true. ;)
