The obligatory Kardashian post….

Interesting that right as a debate rages over whether or not the Internet should be controlled like a private plaything of the handful of major telecommunication companies, a giant derriere obscures everything.  Who knew her ass was actually a black hole, a vortex into which everything meaningful is sucked, with almost no chance of escaping?

The Internet has become so much a part of the lives of most Americans that it is easy to imagine that it will always remain the free and open medium it is now. We’d like to believe it will remain a place where you can always access any lawful content you want, and where the folks delivering that content can’t play favorites because they disagree with the message being delivered or want to charge more money for faster delivery.
