No sooner do we have to suffer under section 2257 then Attorney General Gonzales goes all open-minded on us and removes the curtain. It’s nice to see Ms. spirit of justice back among us, but the timing sure seems odd. Especially since DOJ floated an idea bigger than 2257 just a couple of months ago.

Our fosterchild laptop is about to be fully adopted into our home, but it needs to get its hard drive wiped clean of all corporate identity first.
