Let’s hope that pressure from supporters will make Obama go back to his original position. A filibuster is still possible in the Senate, in theory. In theory the democrats could split the bill up into its component parts and vote on each separately (and thus vote down immunity). If they only had the spine. I’m not counting on it.

Few in the mainstream media are covering it. How long until telecoms take advantage of their lack of a net neutrality mandate and censor the blogosphere?

OK, it’s not really an onerous task. Except — the old plugin allowed it to be automated, whereas now one has to actively pursue the backup. I’ve been using computers long enough to know that automatic beats manual, especially for important tasks. People are fallible; cron, less so.

Thanks to both of you for stopping by. Glad to see my shameless self-promotion over at CR paid off.

I agree completely with lm’s point: This is clearly what “mis-speak” should mean but in our overheated political times, I doubt we’ll get that nuance.

You make some good points. Another visitor via CR. It seems HC can lie through her teeth and it’s a mis-speak; Obama does actually mis-speak and he’s now an out-of-touch elitist. It so many ways we live in a world turned upside down!
