Your Government at Work
I just called to check on the copyright status for our first book. According to the electronic man on the other end of the phone machine, it currently takes 1 year for copyright requests to be processed. One year! Dear President Obama: please hire some more people to work at the copyright office. Thanks!
Also, the Library of Congress’s website suggests that you use “Netscape 4.5 or Microsoft Explorer 4.0″ when viewing their website. Does Netscape even exist anymore? And was there really a period when IE was called “Microsoft Explorer”?
