Today's tinfoil
Posted by Jill | 5:19 AM

Isn't it just possible that this whole business with Julian Assange is designed to reduce the hue and cry that will result when Comcast and others succeed in getting Washington to give broadband providers the power to block sites and implement tiered pricing?
