Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) kind of reminds me of a book of Mad Libs sometimes. He’s always firing off STRONGLY WORDED LETTERS to tech companies about privacy concerns stemming from some new innovation.

Rep. Ed Markey fired off a STRONGLY WORDED LETTER to Amazon on Friday over privacy concerns related to the Kindle Fire, specifically the Silk browser on the device. He wants more information. He always wants more information.
