Federal Register Gets the Wonkette Treatment
Blogger Ana Marie Cox, of Wonkette fame, has discovered the Federal Register! Cox described it as “actually pretty fascinating” on her Twitter stream this morning, which may or may not be hilarious to those of us who have to sift through it every day.
She particularly got a kick out of this notice from the SEC that “pursuant to the provisions of the
Government in the Sunshine Act … the Securities and Exchange Commission will hold a Closed Meeting on Thursday, February 19, 2009 at 2 p.m.”
Cox’s quip about the ironic notice sent off a little flurry of jokes about the Federal Register, which is not exactly inviting to the general public. I’d be curious how many of our readers check in with the Federal Register regularly and even more curious if anyone else finds it “actually pretty fascinating.”
