Seen to rudely plod the hall
To have himself look large though small
Followed by the other two
At least one of which hath not a clue

Known betimes as Mike the Knife
He scowls and howls and thrives on strife
His head is packed with plans and plots
His greedy eyes seek out weak spots

Computers rule, so I’m the man
What else can I usurp or ban
Hmm, Facebook, why is that allowed
I’ll claim a virus and they’ll be cowed

Oh, sing a dirge for Mr. Gee
His power grab was sad to see
He made the blogs, he caused a fuss
His hubris made the members cuss

So now his pix with egg-smeared face
Is featured on his own “MySpace”
Oh, sing a dirge for Mr.Gee
His grip’s not what it used to be.

Were the legislators embarrassed to be shown in protest of the facebook ban? Or that they had to join a group to protest it in the first place?

Try clicking on the link (20 members of the General Assembly) to see this group… if you are not already a member of the group, you won’t find it.

They also took off the “wall” function of the group, so group members cannot publicly comment on their thoughts or activities within the group.

What is this all about?

I would think that these legislators, a bi-partisan group, would be all about this remarkable coalition for freedom of speech. I didn’t expect them to stifle it themselves once they achieved the narrow aims of restoring their personal facebook usage. What a missed opportunity.
