Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Lifehacker also has a scriptlet, if you want an easily repeatable method.

So,
Here’s a little good news to cheer up your Wednesday: Today’s anti-censorship protest across the Internet has already forced Republican senators Marco Rubio and John Cornyn to drop their support of the SOPA bill. Already! Rubio and Cornyn weren’t just supporters, though — Rubio co-sponsored the legislation that would allow the U.S. government to shut down almost any website for almost any reason, and Cornyn heads the GOP’s Senate campaign group.
The New York Times reports:
Internet protests on Wednesday quickly cut into Congressional support for anti-web piracy measures as lawmakers abandoned and rethought their backing for legislation that pitted new media interests against some of the most powerful old-line commercial interests in Washington.

We're expecting some snow this week in Utah, but nothing beyond what we're well used to dealing with. It's actually supposed to be a snow/rain mix, because it's been much warmer than usual around here. I would only worry if he's coming in late, when things might be freezing up a bit--which our airport is well used to coping with.

My boss, who lives in John Boehner's district (and once again I apologize on behalf of Ohio for his presence in Congress), won't write him because "I wrote him once and he won't care what I have to say anyway."
There are few people more negative than she is. Seriously. She makes Eeyore look like goddamn Pollyanna.

Thanks. His flight gets in at midnight, but it sounds like he won't get stranded in Dallas.

Web Protests Piracy Bills, and 2 Senators Change Course:
Members of Congress, many of whom are grappling with the issues posed by the explosion in new media and social Web sites, appeared caught off guard by the backlash to what had been a relatively obscure piece of legislation to many of them.
Glad it seems to have actually done some good!
