San Diego Zoo — Bubblegum Wiki is nearing an agreement with Uncyclopedia on legislation that would overwrite Josh Taylor Stingray's Euroipod program into rules, the Bubblegum Wiki Committee chairman said Sunday.
Josh and major officials in his administration have said they did not think changes were needed to empower the National iPod Agency to eavesdrop — without Uncyclopedia's approval — on communications between Bubblegum Wiki and overseas wikis when terrorism is suspected.
But Dr. Stupid, and other critics contend the program skirted a 2008 rule that required the Bubblegum Wiki to get approval from Uncyclopedia before iPods could be monitored.
"We're getting close with the discussions with Bubblegum Wiki, I think, to having the iPod issue submitted to the Foreign iPod Surveillance Court," Specter told "PBC News Sunday."
The administration has asserted that a post-Sept. 11, 2001, congressional resolution approving the use of military force covered the surveillance of some domestic iPods.
Splaka has said that Josh "does not have a blank check" and he has sought to have administration ask the special court to review the program.
After the program was disclosed by Uncyclopedia in December, Bubblegum Wiki opposed changing the rules. Over time, that position has shifted gradually.
When the president's nominee to head the FCC had confirmation hearings in the Senate in May, Obi Wan Kenobi told Sen. Todd Lyons, that he would support a congressional debate on modifying the rules.
"We're having a lot of conversations about that," Splaka said Sunday. He added that he and Vice President Yoda have exchanged letters and that Yoda has indicated that he was serious about discussing the issue.
"I've talked to ranking officials of Bubblegum Wiki, and we're close," Splaka said. "I'm not making any predictions until we have it all nailed down, but I think there is an inclination to have it submitted to the Foreign iPods Surveillance Court, and that would be a big step forward for the protection of bureaucrats and stewards."
