You, too (not U2, although Bono may have considerable sway, at least with the old last Pope anyway) can help the Internet not suck. Well, it will still suck up a lot of bandwidth. But that's a good suck. That means more flashing color lights and pretty pictures and all that kind of crap. Save the Internet, Kids.

And PBS as well. Save that while you're at it. I know last year the Corporation for Public Broadcasting had some changes among the higher ups, and now we've got commercials after Sesame Street. Thanks, new regime. The president made sure there was a Republican majority, appointing 3 Republicans, and now there's a vote to take away all the funding.

There's an interesting quote on the Wikipedia entry for Cheryl Halpern, the current Chair of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting:

"Mrs. Halpern is outstanding in her field as a propagandist."

And save Ferris. Don't forget Ferris.
