S.773 Re-Enters The Press

There was nothing that upset me more then after I had completed Solid Principles’ most ambitious project, that being Podcast  The Slow Road to Cyber Security.   When S.773 first hit Drudge, it was viewed as Obama wanting to shut down the Internet.  Rush & Beck (who use Drudge as show prep) used it as a “See, look [...]
