Congress, in its infinite wisdom(cough choke gasp), has passed a law and the president has signed it making it against federal law to annoy people over the internet anonymously. Holy cow that means everything on the internet is now against the law! Also it has special consequences here at the Jawa. I guess Rusty must have the other Co-Bloggers post all that “annoy a terrorist” stuff? It also means that 99% of our comments are now “unlawful”. Don’t forget to email your congressman and the President. Just be slightly more than bothersome, slightly less than annoying and yourself. Whatever the hell that means.

News.com :In each of those three cases, someone's probably going to be annoyed. That's enough to make the action a crime. (The Justice Department won't file charges in every case, of course, but trusting prosecutorial discretion is hardly reassuring.)

Does this mean posts like this or that or here or there or maybe this one are now unlawful?

The article tries to blame Republicans (Sen. Arlen Specter for one) but I also see Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose), and Jerrold Nadler are sponsors as well. This garbage was attached to a “violence against women” bill. Just another reason why I support the idea that a bill should be about what the bill is about. Too often pork and crap like this is put with critical bills because they can’t stand alone. It’s time to put a stop to that and also if a judge doesn’t strike this down PDQ I’ll be surprised.

Hope I didnÂ’t annoy anyone. Oh well WTF IÂ’m me, so screw you hippie!
