Deep-Packet Inspection and Regulatory Legislation

Will Congress pass such legislation, and if so, when?
There are calls for Congress to pass legislation to restrict or regulate the use of Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) by broadband and other service providers to help protect the privacy of Internet users.

	You are expecting Congress to understand this issue? I urge you to go to YouTube and look up Senator Ted Stevens and tubes and you will understand why Congress could not even try to tackle this issue.

Home Field Advantage at the Olympics

Athletes almost always play better on their home turf, according to many studies. The U.S., for example, won only 13 medals at the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics, but then hauled in 34 at Salt Lake City four years later. Now China has the home field advantage.
So, how many MORE medals (e.g., 5, 10) will China's athletes win at Beijing than the 63 medals they won at Athens in 2004?

	they should get about 15 to 20 more.

Olympic prowess has less to do with individual athletes' talent than with larger social forces such as their nations' per capita GDP and the home-nation bias.

Endangered Species Act Flirts With Extinction

The Bush Administration recently proposed new regulations that would cut the teeth out of the Endangered Species Act. The new rules would allow federal agencies themselves to determine whether projects will negatively affect endangered species, eliminating the independent reviews from scientists, which have been standard procedure for over 30 years. The new rules will be subject to a 30-day comment period.

At the end of that that period, will the Bush Administration enact the new regulations to the Endangered Species Act?

	Not if the Democrats have anything to say about it. He's an endangered species.

Paris Hilton's Energy Plan

Hilton launched a parody campaign ad suggesting a hybrid of energy plans from Obama and McCain. (Watch the video of her ad.)
Will Paris Hilton's energy plan be adopted wholly or partially by Congress this year?

	It just may come to pass that her plan under a different package and name is adopted. Paris Hilton is no dummy, just a little goofy. She has a "Hot Plan".
