Dear John Boehner: wow, that's a pretty secret plan all right. Those bureaucrats outsmarted everybody by discussing the issue then voting on it in public. Very sly.

I really think Comcast and AT&T should decide who gets to see what, when, and how easily, on the Internet. In fact, I think we should disband the federal government entirely and put Comcast and AT&T in charge of everything.

Someone needs to convince the pickled tangerine that it would cost him more money for this privatized scheme than the current 'net thus eating into his alcohol and cigarette funds. We'd have net neutrality forever in that case...
