http://www.pogowasright.org/blogs/dissent/?p=210 (Dateline Washington , D.C., January 6, 2031) The first session of the 122nd Congress opened today, with Senate leaders vowing that this would be the year that they would pass the Leahy-Specter Memorial Data Protection and Mandatory Breach Notification Act. Some Beltway insiders had suggested that previous failures to enact the legislation were due to the unpronouncabilty of "LSMDPMBNA," but others had suggested that until now, Congress's priority had been to debate how we landed up in wars with Iran, Korea, and Canada without Congress ever authorizing any of those wars. Over the holidays, members of Congress were shocked to read that unencrypted data on a laptop computer lost by a Kaiser Impermanente employee had been found and leaked to the media. The data revealed how Representative Kale Jackson's daughter had had 4 elective abortions before the age of 15, how Senator Reid Smither's son had undergone inpatient treatment for early-onset Huntington's Chorea and narcotic abuse, and how Representative JoAnne B. Lane was currently under psychiatric treatment for depression following her recent divorce.
