Lessig Decides Not to Run For Congress

micheas writes "Larry Lessig has decided that running for U.S. Congress himself in a special election would be too risky to his Change Congress movement and has decided not to run. 'With lots of mixed feelings, I have decided a run for Congress would not help the Change Congress movement. I explain the thinking in this 5 minute video (a new record for me!). First question: What happens to the contributions to Lessig08? As explained on the ActBlue page, all will go to (the yet to be established) Change Congress organization.'"

What the...???

OK, in the previous story about lessig I slammed his content-free "change congress" site, so what does he do? Makes it even lamer and more free of content! All that is there is a spam trap, and by that I mean a form where you can sign up for spam and nothing else. I'm wondering why the spam trap was even linked.

"On why I'm not running has a flash video. Does the esteemed Mr. Lessig think we're all illiterate? I don't have flash on this computer, making both the links in the summary a complete and total waste of time.

However, I'm trying to find a bright spot - even if you ride the short bus to school, you can still grow up to be a rich lawyer.

I'm disgusted. Someone please write an Uncyclopedia article about him? Thanks!
