RenB at 160 — it’s not that no one in interested so much as this is now two threads behind, and everyone’s pretty much moved on to the latest thread at the top. Sorry! Thought you’d want a heads up on this.

This bit of TBogg snark from a couple of months back never fails to bring a smile to my face:

Awww—

just forget it.

Either I wasn’t pc or was out of order.

Tomorrow Dumbya is in town.

And the security is beyond belief. And he turned Vienna into a Prison.

But you all aren’t interested…

*ilson46201 – My late tuxedo cat was named Emanon (read it backwards). She came to us as a stray with a wicked respiratory virus. I didn’t want to bring her home to pontentially infect our cats, so she boarded at the vet for a couple of weeks. They insisted on a name for her, so that was it. Emma for short. Tuxedo cats rock.

Diane Rheme Show today had a House member call in with a snark on “cut and run”. “The Republicans, the party that sits and watches.”

When you write/call/fax, you might want to mention that Senator Ted Stevens’ so called “compromise” has no real consumer protection value whatsoever.

Let’s say VeriZomcast decides to route certain traffic (e.g., traffic to websites that tend to work against the political or financial interests of VeriZomcast) through the older/slower segments of their network. How would a consumer ever be able to provide evidence of such chicanery?

Lets say a media giant (e.g., Fox) procures a stake in VeriZomcast (or vice versa). Which local affiliate do you think will stream video of the local news the fastest?

Molly at 154 — if you are referring to the NYPost article on Jerome, my understanding is that it was not entirely accurate. I’d check the facts before you get too up in arms about it. Plus, griping about progressives not supporting union issues on a blog that does a regular weekly union series…not such an effective move.

Raw Story just passed along this excerpt from today’s Roll Call, re the biggest goof we Floridians can offer the rest of yez:

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any crazier for Rep. Katherine Harris (R-Fla.) and Co., it has. Her latest shoeless episode, the one last week in which a Prince Charming-like intern was spotted hurriedly delivering a pair of heels to the Congresswoman off the House floor, has a couple of more bizarre twists to it. A flurry of mishaps, essentially, that involved a shoeshine stand and a car wreck.

…

“What kind of shoes?” the employee asked. “Women’s shoes,” the young man replied, provoking a quizzical look from the woman working the shoeshine stand. The aide explained he was looking for a pair of shoes belonging to “Congresswoman Katherine Harris,” our informant said.

He took the shoes and rushed toward the Capitol, where, along the way, he was spotted by a reporter for the Kansas City Star who reported on the newspaper’s Web log that he saw a “strapping young man” hurrying across the Capitol complex “holding a stylish pair of mid-heel blue-and-white ladies’ shoes.”

…

A source tells HOH that while the shoe carrier was inside the Capitol, another Harris aide, a staff assistant, was driving the Congresswoman’s brown convertible BMW over to the Capitol to pick up the tow-headed shoe carrier. And, of course, the staff assistant got rear-ended on the way over to the House.

As if that weren’t enough, after he picked up the shoe carrier, who we are told is an intern, the aide who was driving got pulled over by a Capitol Police officer and was given a $40 ticket for “distracted driving.”

Too bad about that brown Beemer. Prolly matched Alligator Bag’s makeup perfectly . . .
