TechDirt reports:

[Congresswoman] Sheila Jackson-Lee submitted a House Resolution honoring Frankie Knuckles, the pioneering House DJ (and, here, we no longer mean "House of Representatives") who passed away last year. Such resolutions are pretty typical and a nice honor, if fairly meaningless overall. Still, it seems somewhat bizarre that in a resolution honoring Knuckles, who won the first ever "Remixer of the Year" Grammy back in 1998, that Jackson-Lee used it as a reason to argue for stronger copyright protections.

    One can follow this link here [discoverthenetworks.org] for a little background on this specific observation and other whitty commentary by Mrs. Lee. Sad, very sad.

    Jackson Lee appears to be a homo sapient, but what is she REALLY? I mean - she lacks sapience. Does that just make her a homo? Oh crap - now I'll get it from the gay community . . .
