    It's no joke. If you go to Orrin Hatch's site and click on "my utah search" 
    on the right, you'll end up at a porn site:
    http://www.senate.gov/~hatch/index.cfm?Fuseaction=Students.Utah
    
    This is of course the same Orrin Hatch who's an unapologetic antiporn crusader:
    http://www.politechbot.com/p-03467.html
    
    And hardly a friend of free expression in general:
    http://www.politechbot.com/p-00600.html
    
    Go to Hatch's page before the link is removed. On Wednesday afternoon, the 
    extremely embarrassing video file with Hatch's destroy-the-PCs remarks 
    was  quietly disappeared from judiciary.senate.gov.

    Hey Declan, I thought I should toot one of our
    writer's horns. For your consideration:

    Orrin Hatch: Software Pirate?
    Sen. Orrin Hatch caused a stir by suggesting copyright
    holders should have the right to remotely destroy
    computers of suspected pirates. Turns out the Senator
    is using unlicensed software on his website. By
    Leander Kahney.
