“So, ‘New Moon’ is inspired by ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ which I understand. That play always attracts the same type of people. But apparently, ‘Breaking Dawn’ is inspired by ‘The Merchant of Venice.’ So, according to Stephenie Meyer, being a Werewolf is just like being Jewish.” — Ann

“We’re not advocating any specific action, but we do think it is important for people to understand who is for and against SOPA and PIPA; if passed, either of these bills will fundamentally change the online world, whether you think that’s a good idea or not.”

Orly Taitz calls for Arizona to secede →
Orly thinks that if Arizona secedes, it will trigger an “avalanche” that could potentially result in the dissolution of the United States. She draws parallels to the breakups of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. So now the Mad Moldovan is officially on record as deliberately wanting to destroy this country.

Cassius and Sharky take a look at the film that had Stratfordians up in arms: Roland Emmerich’s Anonymous.
In which Mark Rylance tries to take on as many onscreen Shakespeare roles as Kenneth Branagh in the span of two hours. Man, I wish he did “My thoughts be bloody” while still in his Henry V costume.

When you have a signed letter from the engineers responsible for creating the Internet pointing out that this bill would jeopardize our cybersecurity, balkanize the Internet and create a climate of uncertainty that would stifle innovation, it seems odd to ignore it.

House committee votes on SOPA today →
“Unfortunately, we cannot support the bill as written, as it would expose law-abiding U.S. Internet and technology companies to new uncertain liabilities, private rights of action, and technology mandates that could require monitoring of web sites and social media.
