This implicitly confirms my theory that a significant mount of the initial sales of the iPhone when it first rolled out were to people who couldn’t afford a computer and $50.00 a month broadband. The iPhone was a cheaper alternative.
You’d think a black man would know something about, you know, convicting someone before trial…. Pre-judgment is OK with Barack Obama! Maybe Sarah Palin has him scared so he’s pandering (futilely) to her base?
Speaking of President Palin, she’s on! Someone else thinks she can get nominated. As I posted, I can easily see her winning in 2012. I guess once one gets in the habit of shitting on one’s base, one just can’t change. “Oneterma Obama”. Kinda like the sound of that and it’s a distinct possibility. His line of shit worked against someone hated in mid-crisis attributed to his administration. But how good will it be when he’s the hated incumbent?
As for Queen Sarah, the 18 (actual number too near infinity to count easily) biggest lies in her book of lies is here. More lies here. And you, too, can be Queen Sarah.
Queen Sarah has failed, to my knowledge, to explain her repeated shitting on supporters:
This, of course, is the Queen Sarah I really like:
Did the queen quit office to get enhanced? (I think she quit so when she runs in 2012, no one could accuse her of spending the past couple of years having been an inept governor, but that’s just my opinion.)
Big Journalism FAILS: What we’ll lose when it dies: Inept coverage of Joe Lieberman. (There is only one story about him that will matter and it will be covered no matter what happens to “the press”: the end of any public career for him.)Fellating the GOP. Missing or failing on all the big, important stories, like these: Really everything that has to do with the economic crisis, like this. Or writing stupidly insane crap like this.
Organized religions are of course fascistic but this is a new low. (On the other hand, it’s the same religion that, when confronted by abuse and molestation, somehow manages to lose all moral balance.)
The real death panels: The corrupt system that allows this and nothing is done to punish those who commit the errors or limit them or, for that matter, do anything to reform the system to reduce the number of errors. (Actually, the focus is on preventing the victims from obtaining restitution.)From the site: On August 13, 2007, Merlyna Adams – a school principal from La Place, Louisiana – experienced a sharp pain in her right side. The next day, her primary care doctor ordered a CT scan, which revealed that she had a 10mm kidney stone. Over the next few days, she was transferred to several different hospitals. At the fourth hospital, she remained in ICU for nearly three weeks. Her body developed sepsis, a complication caused by infection. She suffered congestive heart failure, renal failure and pulmonary failure. The restricted blood flow to her hands and feet required her to have both legs amputated below the knee and she lost both hands. She is unable to engage in everyday tasks like brushing her teeth, taking a bath, eating or using the restroom without another person.
98,000 patients are killed annually by medical errors. That’s like two 737s crashing every day for a whole year. Would we blame the passengers or the airlines? Tort law changes won’t fix health care. Tell Congress to put patients first. There are 98,000 reasons why you should. 98000reasons.org
Seriously: What’s the difference between Ronnie Raygun in the 70s and Sarah Palin? I mean, other than she’ll be even worse for ournation than the father of the speculation economy?
Then there’s the rule about never underestimating the American voter.
Thanks to Barack Obama, Palin’d chances are excellent. She’s electable.
And FYI: I’ve already been vindicated twice this morning.

I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me. – Winston Churchill
This bothers me. Is Lynne Stewart a dope getting what she deserves? Is the government grossly scapegoating her? Both? A mix?
Now this is really something for the RIAA and it’s idiot members to really worry about. Oh, wait, it’s easier to prey on the weak than do anything positive for music and the industry of, you know, getting the stuff out there and heard.
If ATT’s 3G network sucks, here’s why, and here too. Et tu, Verizon. (And yet more numbers are here. Till Verizon has to deal with the same growth, really, it can’t boast. Truth: “Our network is great because no one uses it.”)

WTF is that stupidity meant to say other than just a little cheapshot bashing? And if it’s an allusion to “The Day of the Jackal”, it’s an utter failure on all levels.
There they go again: Big Media journos get another big story completely wrong because, you know, it’s such a great story that attracts an audience, not because there’s any truth to it…. Keep failing, Press, so we don’t miss you when you’re gone. Is it too soon to say ”Good Riddance?”
In that fabulous way, Ashley Banfield was promoted as some sort of babe until she, well, went rogue, which is to substantive (not on the air but at a lecture, as I recall) and got her sex object ass canned. (At the same time as Banfield was criticizing the Iraq War, the Times was doing it’s utmost, as was the rest of the Big Media, promoting a clearly stupid and unnecessary war.) Well, A.B. has been brought back in from the cold….
I of course am one of those old fashioned pinkos who supports our troops and vets. By and by, there is no reason to crap on them for following orders. Unlike, say, the cocksuckers who went to war in Iraq and Afghanistan for no good reason then treat the troops like utter crap (I refer of course to the patriotic leaders of the GOP).
