Nancy Pelosi vs. the Internet
selil writes "A story popped up on the ChicagoBoyz Blog. It says 'Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who would like very much to reimpose the old, so-called, "Fairness Doctrine" that once censored conservative opinion on television and radio broadcasting, is scheming to impose rules barring any member of Congress from posting opinions on any internet site without first obtaining prior approval from the Democratic leadership of Congress. No blogs, twitter, online forums — nothing.'"
Your epidermis is showing.
Discuss!
Without prior consent? I think not!
Those who believe the Internet is private,
find their privates are on the Internet.
Reality has a well known liberal bias. Any law that forces news outlets to reflect reality as it exists rather than as we conservatives wish it were is UNFAIR. Thank God for Fox News.
Naah, they are too busy using Iraqi babies as skeet shooting targets while using oil money $100 bills to light their cigars. That is, when they arent listening in on my phone calls to my mother in canada telling me about her hemmerhoids.
but tries to ensure that there will be some level of decorum and good taste.
But, these are Congressmen...?
God invented whiskey so the Irish would not rule the world.

Did they run out of lawyers already?

content that will harm or impugn the dignity of the congress.
See, you had me going there for a minute...
Well, then, tell her for a nice little raise, you'll route your network so that all financial transactions and email take the shortest possible routes. The savings will more than make up the difference, after all...
Polosi doesn't know who she is messing with, doesn't she know that when you fight the internet, you fight Al Gore?
Morally, and in the upper arms.
The Democratic and Republican parties are two sides of the same coin.
More like two cheeks of the same horses ass.
Nah, lawyers don't get the right trajectory, all the hot air makes them fly way off course...
Or was that politicians?
Also, if you read the PDF of the letter mentioned, it is about technical limitations of U.S. government support for internet access.
Come on, we're reading the comments already, we can't read *everything*, what's wrong with you.
If it's on /. it has to be true. They have editors after all. (cough cough)
May contain traces of nut.
Made from the freshest electrons.
but every time I hear about something like this I get the same creepy feeling I get when I saw that commercial with George Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton side by side. That could just be because I was being looked at by a sleazeball and a cold-blooded killer, though.
And how do you describe George Bush Sr.? ;-)
But to be fair to them, my CFO asked a little while ago if the power problems we had were a result of her sending an email to Iceland. After all, it must take a lot more power to push the message that far than to push it across the street.
This is the funniest thing I've read all day. I can't blame the CFO for not knowing better; after all it's not her area of competence - presumably that's why she employs you. But still...imagine if she sent *two* emails to Iceland!
That stuff coming out from between must be compromise legislation.
1) Official is elected.
2) Official is escorted into a smoky room where the heads of the most powerful business interests sit.
3) A screen lowers, plays the Kennedy assassination from an angle that no one has ever seen before (the shooter's angle, for the imaginatively-challenged).
4) Screen retracts, the head of the "board" asks the official "Any questions?".
5) Official responds "Uh, what's my agenda?"
Yeah, that sounds about right. Republican (aka Coke - or cocaine, in Bush's case) or Democrat (aka Pepsi). Pick your sugar-water, America.
PC moderators can suck my White pierced, tattooed dick. If you think pride == hate, s/dick/Aryan meat mallet/g.
I call bullshit. Emmm, I mean...
I will have a sig when the market demands it.

Yeah, I always wondered why Bush Sr. allowed himself to be seen with him.
