Recycling the Congressional Record

Marydee Ojala @ 10:24 am

Subject lines in emails and press releases sometimes make me chuckle. Like this one that just showed up: SPEAKER PELOSI TO ANNOUNCE 100 PERCENT RECYCLED CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. First of all, why does GPO insist on throwing all caps at me whenever they want to announce something? And, second, doesn’t this imply that the content in the Congressional Record will be 100% recycled? Does this mean I’ll be able to see last year’s items in this year’s CR? How fun! Reading the release revealed that it’s not the content that’s recycled, it’s the paper on which the Congressional Record is printed that’s recycled. OH WOW, IT’S RECYCLED PAPER. Now, GPO, please stop shouting at me. And let me read it online with recycled electrons. Think digitization, people.
