The most important political moment today

was not about Zarqawi. It was about the Internet, that thing that we've all taken for granted. And about the way AT&T wants to turn it into a giant shopping mall.

Listen to Rep. Slaughter speaking about Net Neutrality.

Well said, sir.

The fact that the majority of the House seemed eager to hand the keys over to AT&T et. al. is disturbing to say the least. Is it just a matter of the sort of money and clout and influence the telcos. have, or could it be that they have dirt on the congress/President, something to do with NSA wiretapping scandal, etc.? In and of itself the vote makes little sense (and comes off as elitist/shamefully pro-corporate to boot).

Well, there's always the Senate, I guess. Talking Points Memo has a nice rundown of where members of the Senate stand on Net Neutrality
