Just for fun, I poked around the House of Representative's website to "see what I could see" as Winnie the Pooh would say. Now here's a caucus I'd like to get in on!
Clearly, Rep. Coble is a bit of a lame duck if the only people he can get photo-ops with are high-school kids. Based on the fact that this guy is considered a shoe-in in his district and seems none too bright about his committee's subject, it makes sense to have him as a chairman. He's not going to ask tough questions and he's not going away any time soon.
Until Tara Sue and all of us come into the picture, that is. I say us, but I'm a Canadian citizen. I think that we are about to see a wonderful example of the power of a group of individuals that is very similar to King's March on Washington, but without the risk of fire hoses and cross burning. Maybe the Internet is about to help Americans exercise their rights to retain their rights?

Yesterday, I pointed out a dead link on Rep. Coble's home page. Nothing serious, just the link to his bio. Dave linked to that post and in 6 hours I got almost 400 hits. I have to assume that some of these hits will look at Coble's site, and that some will report the dead link. How long will it take Coble's staff to fix it?
In all fairness, I have not emailed Rep. Coble to notify him of the dead link. Normally, if I like a site and it's broken, I let the author know about it.
Here's the deal. If it's not fixed by this Friday, I'll send them an email - OK?
