meanwhile, back in the real world
My wife is a housing attorney at Bay Area Legal Aid. Her work keeps mine in perspective. Yesterday, she sent friends the following appeal. Please excuse the interruption of this "free culture" channel for an issue that will determine whether hundreds of thousands of mostly working families will have a roof over their head next month.

Sounds like a MoveOn worthy effort. You should approach them to do a petition.
Mr. Lessig,
I think you'll be pleased to hear that, having spent the past two months working in Sen. Dianne Feinstein's office, we have received countless calls regarding this matter. My only hope now is that those actually in charge of the funding process–specifically the Representatives from our districts–can save it. -d
So let me see if I get this right...
Lawrence is a parasite who contributes absolutely nothing to society and his wife is a leech who panders to the impoverished in the Bay area who no longer can afford to live there?
Hmmm, sounds like Democrats to me...
Let's agree that the Section 8 recipients that are impacted by Bush's budget cut in the program represents some 250,000 households. I venture that the direct number is closer to a million folks, adults, children, all hitting the streets at once.
Maybe they could all camp out in front of Russ's house, eh?

What a fantastic job: lobbying the Congress for more money for favored programs, while the taxpayers pick up the bill for the lobbying. Now if we can only remember the "important" work that LSC funds next time that authorization comes up, and if we can attempt to get some funds lobbying on the other side, this might turn out to be a fair fight.
