Rest in peace, JoePa. May you now have the peace that the haters and the ignorant denied you these past few months. We are … Penn State.
Dear Congress: I urge you to prevent the Hollywood, software, and other lobbyists from taking control over the Internet for no reason than to build their own coffers.
