Will thestranger.com join the blackout on Wednesday?

You're not going to see a shitload of, "Yeah Obama" after he signed the NDAA. I'm actually shocked he's turning right on SOPA.

Wikipedia is joining the blackout as well.

I think what this says is that congress & the senate are completely lost when it comes to the internet.

I understand that they're too busy blathering to be atk. Still, I'd vote for a politician that did a lot of his/her work online and away from the glad-handing, back-dealing ways which are status quo.

Republicans hate freedom.

If the President opposes a bill, then he can veto it. Requiring a 2/3 majority to over come the veto. That's real power.

The President's proverbial "bully pulpit" is a different thing.

And remember when Obama killed NDAA from his bully pulpit? Oh wait, he signed that one. It's not that we think they're exactly the same, Paul, it's that we think they're not different enough.
