I've seen this before.  A "little" regulation with a "few" postive factors turns into control later. Just think of the tax code, EPA and many other ideas that have become bloated over the years. At first glance,  the Bill in the ho... read more!

Utah's own Mike Lee showed that he is worse at understanding the issues involved than Eric Schmidt is at explaining them. Meanwhile, Danny Sullivan nearly had a stroke listening to the Senators grandstanding as trust-busters, all while blatantly requesting favors from Google. For those who aren't familiar with the case, a number o... read more!
