unless and until you question her facts or judgement.
I watched her throw someone off FDL in the early years for suggesting a slang word for female genitalia wasn't appropriate on a blog so heavily populated with wonderful women.
The sweetie-pie act you see on television these days is nothing like the foul-mouthed my-way-or-the-highway behavior I saw before I stopped going to FDL.
This is off-topic, but I also don't care for people who phone in campaign progress while driving 90 mph on a Connecticut highway and thinking it's really funny.

It's implying that Eshoo's amendment doesn't address this issue. It does. |

So, you are admitting that the Eshoo amendment does address this issue then. |

Depends on how you read it. That article is referring to the Eshoo/Kennedy amendment |

You've gone way off topic, sorry. It's not worth arguing with you when you harp on one point. |

Thanks for admitting it was only an op-ed piece. Too many here take it as fact. |

An op-ed piece in a major metropolitan daily carries more weight than a post on an advocacy website |
