thanks. very nice.

fingers crossed on law.gov. I got Podesta, which is huge (e.g., the  
potus will read my report), so hoping we can take this ball across the  
finish line and create a new function of government by the end of next

initiative ... they are not quite sure what to make of it, but you saw  
Lieberman put the U.S. Senate on record, so I'm hopeful.

you must be enjoying the Lessig foodfight.
