Shocked In Shockoe Bottom
by Pat_S on September 30, 2009A post by Pat Angry activists gathered outside a Richmond, Virginia strip club decrying abomination! and sounding alarm over the deteriorating standards in America.

CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft (excerpt), which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency… Probably the most controversial language begins in Section 201, which permits the president to “direct the...
