Forbes - Be right back. There’s no hope left. The strongest anger in me is not even because it’s “creationist,” it’s the fact that they are giving money to a THEME PARK and CUTTING education.
Our children are our future? Psh.
Infographic of the Day: According to ProPublica, which is tracking opposition to and support for SOPA and PIPA among members of Congress, yesterday’s blackout managed to persuade many politicians to come out against the Internet killing bills.
As hope-affirming as that is, it’s important to note that support for PIPA remains strong in the Senate, where those in favor of the bill outnumber those opposed by almost 2 to 1.
As mentioned yesterday, another interesting oft-ignored fact is that there is far more support for both bills among Democrats than Republicans. In the Senate, over two-thirds of all supporters are Democrats.
The blackout made a difference, but PIPA could still pass, and a procedural test vote is expected next week. Appreciate the accomplishment, but don’t mistake regrouping for retreat.

Fiancé gets an entire weekend off (more rare than a cheetah roaming through Ohio) — decide I want to go somewhere because we never get any time together. Say… Let’s go to Chicago! Like it’s NBD because I’m insanely impulsive and one of his best friends from childhood lives there. Blam. A quick text and it’s done! Off to Chicago next weekend. On a very tight budget, but lots of time to relax and catch up. I’m excited!
