Out of the Blue

Hatch Takes Aim at Illegal Downloading (thanks D.G.Whiskey)... when 70-year-olds deal with technology. Mind you I'm not critical of this because it is anti-piracy, but just because it's nightmarishly stupid. My thought is to counter this with a proposal that causes Senators' cars to break down should they be suspected of engaging in illegal or illicit activities... it would be fun to see all these stuffed shirts waiting by the side of the road to get their limos towed.
