Congress Abandons WikiConstitution

Congress scrapped the open-source, open-edit, online version of the Constitution Monday, only two months after it went live.

"The idea seemed to dovetail perfectly with our tradition of democratic participation," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said. "But when so-called 'contributors' began loading it down with profanity, pornography, ASCII art, and mandatory-assault-rifle-ownership amendments, we thought it might be best to cancel the project."

Congress intends to restore the Constitution to its pre-Wiki format as soon as an unadulterated copy of the document can be found.

"Microsoft will take aim at rival Google next week with a new Web development plan. The software company plans to open access to its MSN and other public Web sites to let developers assemble new applications that build on those sites--a technique used successfully at Google and at other Web companies to promote their properties."
