      SOPA shelved in face of White House oposition

      Political Animal - Putting SOPA on a shelf

      Apparently, on Saturday the Obama administration announced its opposition to central portions of both PIPA and SOPA. Hours later, congress decided to put off the vote on SOPA indefinitely.

      According to Steve Benen of Washington Monthly, "the White House’s opposition signaled the end of these bills, at least in their current form."

      "It’s possible that a related version of SOPA could come back at some point down the road — though probably not this year — but for now, the push against the bill has succeeded beautifully."

      Ugghhhhhh.... C'mon already! Hopefully, even if it does pass, Obama has enough sense in him to veto it, and hopefully congress doesn't appeal (or w/e its called).

      Just give up! Money is the worst invention ever....
