"When a coalition includes ninjas, anything is possible..."

That headline belongs to Laura Scott (pingVision, rare pattern), who has done a terrific job covering the Internet Freedom and Nondiscrimination Act of 2006. Here's her lede:

"When a coalition includes ninjas, anything is possible

"It's not very often that you see MoveOn.org, the Christian Coalition, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the Gun Owners of America, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the American Library Association, and Craig Newmark of Craigslist on the same side of the political fences. (Where's the ninja? Read on....)"

"Net Neutrality" under siege

I love how Ben Scott nails the central issue. Looks like he and Moby have done their part. And, to your point, it even looks as though the House may do the right thing. But as Public Knowledge notes at the end of that link, "It’s a little early to tell what will happen in the House now. In the past, when Judiciary and Commerce have passed separate bills, the Rules Committee got the unenviable task of figuring out how to deal with the competing interests."

If you care about this issue, here's a great place to email your representatives.

I also have to thank Laura for linking my 10-year-old's fave ninja site. This guy kills me. I'll be the one at BlogHer in a pair of black pyjamas, karate-chopping my way toward the drinks with the little umbrellas...
