  1. legion- no- you weren’t making that point.You pulled one book from a whole bunch of his favorite books and tried to imply he was a left winger.The right has been foaming at the mouth the second after the shootings claiming the left was going to try to use it against them. Well, self- fulfilling prophecies and all that.

    And yes- biased. You’ll defend Palin on her rhetoric but you’er offended by Obama wearing flipflops on vacation. That’s some strange priorities, if you ask me.

    I think the word eople are really looking for to describe Chuck Norris is “wooden,” not “awesome.” I realize the shared w and e might have confused you 🙂

  2. m4l, from David Pogue:

    Verizon Wireless will end its “New every two” program on Jan. 16. That’s the program that lets you upgrade to a new phone, for the new-customer price, every two years. (The company says that instead, it will e-mail you “special offers” after 20 months of your contract.)

    Why would it end this popular, heavily advertised program NOW, after so many years? Hmmmm. It wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that Verizon gets the iPhone two weeks later, would it?

    Well, that’s what the bloggers are saying. Verizon, however, says it’s not true. If you’ve had your current phone beyond its contract time (usually two years), you can get the iPhone at the $200 new-customer price.
    (The sticky part comes if you’re not done with your two years. Then you’ll pay a lot more.)

    Well, I suppose Verizon can do what it wants. It knows its network is what we all want. And we’ll put up with endless greed and shenanigans to get it.
