Just a little diary to remind everyone of just how much better this Senate is going to be than the last one.
The Commerce Committee, formerly chaired by Ted "A Series of Tubes" Stevens, will come under the leadership of Sen. Daniel Inouye. Lets take a quick refresher, shall we? Inouye favors net neutrality. Stevens opposes it. Stevens also does not understand what the internet is, exactly. For those of you who haven't seen or heard this, there is a techno remix version, with video (a must see).
Sorry for the awkward break point, I wanted the whole thing to be in the intro, but even down to 1140 characters, AJAX said I was over the 1150 limit, so I decided to just break it in half :(
The Environment and Public Works Committee, formerly chaired by James "Global Warming is a Hoax" Inhofe, will now come under the leadership of Sen. Barbara Boxer. Inhofe is about as bad as it gets when it comes to the climate crisis, and you can read about just how bad he really is here. Senator Boxer, of course, understands the threat posed by global warming, and has pledged to make significant policy changes on the topic.
MMMMM that looks good! I can't wait to get me some o' that Democratic Senate.
