Did You Miss This Little Gem?

It did not get much press. But seems like there is a bill pending that will give the President "emergency control" of the Internet. The power to "disconnect private sector computers from the Internet." See anything wrong so far? Well, that was the version put forth back in the spring and it seems some Internet companies and civil liberties groups were somewhat concerned. Now they have revised the language, and I personally do not feel a whole lot better.

Read this article: George Orwell should readily come to mind....
