Ian Grigg and I have a letter to ICANN about Verisign. See his post.

Mort points me to US Senate Bill 166116, introduced by Diane Feinstein, making it a crime to sell social security numbers. Private right of action, good. Section 207.b.3’s insertions into the social security act, making it a crime to lie about your SSN even when you’re not committing a crime, bad. Other analysis, I hope, to follow. noise excuses my prior misspellings, and helped me find a good URL.
America’s Finest News source reports on “Nation’s Leading Alarmists Excited About Bird Flu

[Update: I’m bad with numbers. thanks, noise.]
