Politics

Will The GOP Block President Obama's Attempt To Downsize Government? (UPDATED)

Politics

This might set up a really interesting fight that could emphasis the hypocrisy of the GOP: President Barack Obama will ask Congress on Friday for greater power to shrink the federal government, and his first idea is merging six sprawling trade and commerce agencies whose overlapping programs can be baffling to businesses, a senior administration […]

Is SOPA Author Lamar Smith A Copyright Violator?

Politics

Looks like he very well could be: US Congressman and poor-toupee-color-chooser Lamar Smith is the guy who authored the Stop Online Piracy Act. SOPA, as I’m sure you know, is the shady bill that will introduce way harsher penalties for companies and individuals caught violating copyright laws online (including making the unauthorized streaming of copyrighted […]

Misc
