I'm saved. Things were getting so boring and I was unsatisfied with the Judicary Committee hearings. I needed me some serious questioners and some serious issues that I don't really comprehend at all. Sigh!

Tomorrow the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science & Transportation will hold hearings on Copyright Issues with Digital Audio. (Yeah, I haven't a clue either, but I bet GV knows.)

Copyright, copyright, there's something about that copyright thing. If only I could remember.

Oh yeah, Sen. Allen is on this committee. I have no idea which Republican pulled the short straw and has to go over to this house tonight and tell him what copyright is and how it relates to football, but somebody has to do it. Sigh!
