Costly litigation is a problem but costly wars are not. I see.

Speaking of Wank, maybe it's time for me to head to the shower.
Let's all stop paying our phone bills and see what happens, eh Fred? I'm sure they'll look the other way. Poor poor pitiful telecoms.
According to the official Sinfonian wanker count Hiatt is already in the lead

WOW!
Yes, I'm very concerned that ATT&T might make 0.00000143% less than the 20% increase they expect for next year. Very concerned. Worried, even.
Costly litigation?
Not to mention all those campaign contributions.
With these increasingly lame efforts, I kind of wonder if Hiatt is suffering from some sort of degenerative brain disorder.
Maybe he's got a brain tumor or early onset Alzheimer's.
It seems like the best way to avoid costly litigation would be to obey the law.
I like that "too heavy cost of litigation" idea. Now I can fukkin do anything I want to anybody and they can't take me to court because I am relatively poor and the cost of litigation would be too heavy a burden.
Oh, I forgot, I'm only a person, not a corporation, so I am not protected by the US Constitution.
I've said it before. People in Washington don't believe that they are like you or me.
They can't conceive of the idea that white professional people doing the people's business should be subject to the rule of law.

Hey look, my gravatar showed up. Hel, it was the Gravatar gravatar earlier...
You gotta get up really early in the morning to out-wank Hiatt.
Hiatt seems to think that the main difference we created when we set this country up is that instead of kings having "divine right", corporations would.
Isn't this really at the heart of basically every problem we have with the disintegration of our representative government?
Hey look, my gravatar showed up.
Twisting the knife in my heart...
If there are no consequences, why should corporations or people obey the law?
Sorry, Hiatt. These telcos should have considered the legality of the Bush administration's request and refused to cooperate.
I'm sure they were told they wouldn't be harmed.
Tough.

Are y'all gonna be greeting each other in Klingon a lot at this Eschacon thing? That'll be real gay.

That defense is either the last gasp of a very desperate fight against accountability or the simplistic thinking of a very venal and profoundly stupid person.
I'm encouraged to think it is desperation, because if that's the best argument for immunity they can come up with, the issue should be all but decided.
Of course the litigation costs are miniscule in comparison with the telecoms' income, but the penalty could be quite significant if it's found that they violated the law, and not just for the corporations, and not just in dollars and cents. That's the cost Hiatt is concerned most about.

Everyone, boil your peanuts...
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - For lovers of boiled peanuts, there's some good news from the health front. A new study by a group of Huntsville researchers found that boiled peanuts bring out up to four times more chemicals that help protect against disease than raw, dry or oil-roasted nuts.
Lloyd Walker, chair of Alabama A&M University's Department of Food and Animal Sciences who co-authored the study, said these phytochemicals have antioxidant qualities that protect cells against the risk of degenerative diseases, including cancers, diabetes and heart disease.
"Boiling is a better method of preparing peanuts in order to preserve these phytochemicals," Walker said.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Nicotine may help ease some of the debilitating and uncontrollable tremors and twitches caused by Parkinson's disease and its treatment, researchers said on Wednesday.
Monkeys given a nicotine-laced drink before drug treatment for Parkinson's showed a 50 percent reduction in movements associated with the treatment. They showed a 35 percent drop in the movements, known as dyskinesias, when given the drink after treatments.
The finding, to be published in the Annals of Neurology, suggests it may be possible to improve the lives of patients who have very limited options.
"It may be the only drug that is useful for reducing dyskinesias without making Parkinson's disease worse," Maryka Quik of the Parkinson's Institute and Clinical Center in Sunnyvale, California, who led the study, said in a telephone interview.

Hmmm. "God" vs. DHS
Five years ago, Sister Joanna O'Meara got a call from God to move from England to Minnesota, she said, to train as a nun with the Visitation of Holy Mary, a small religious order that serves the residents of north Minneapolis.
Earlier this year, she got a call from immigration officials telling her that she has to go back to England because her time spent preparing to be a nun doesn't count toward her status in this country. In this case, at least, the Department of Homeland Security trumps God. O'Meara has a ticket for a Dec. 4 flight to London.

Salt is a necessary ingredient for boiled peanuts, but it's actually better if done in moderation.

She was, indeed. But the horse in the field with the best off-track bloodline is Hard Spun. The question about him involves the distance; but expect him to be at or near the lead for a while.

I wonder if he is working on it deliberately.
Would that be cheating?

I usually ignore it. I claim reactivity due to illness.
Tobes,
Put your picture back up in the gravatar field. I'd like to see how the cheetoh in your beard is doing. Does he have any new neighbors?
Maybe we should start sending complimentary "Born to Wank" T-shirts to all WOTD.
Hiatt again?
Jeez, might as well retire the trophy.
Have a new one called Jerkoff of the Day or Asshole of the Day.
We could send Hiatt a real trophy with Wanker of the Day on it.

I got 2 limes this year. Count 'em, 2.
On the other hand, I may make cookies, instead.
Hiatt says the telcos should not be punished for illegally giving Chimpy stuff without a warrant.
Okay, so when is Hiatt going to demand Chimpy be CHIMPEACHED for warrantless wiretaps?
I didn't think so.
That avocado farmer whose crop got burned in the CA fires was pissed. Burned avocados stink awfully!

Almost replaced my copy of "I Ain't Marching Anymore". I'll have to wait 'til Zapette comes home.
Ha! Flint got a new job and a new girlfriend. Awesome.
Oooh.

If Rove believed he was most vulnerable when striking, he'd never have gone on the offensive and attacked anyone.

Here's an interesting fact for a rainy Saturday: there is an entire store in Myrtle Beach that only sells Nuts, primarily peanuts. I thought I was being ironic when I went there a few years ago and bought a can of extra premium roasted Virginia peanuts, but now I want some in the worst way.
Terry Teachout:
When I heard that the Philharmonic had been approached to visit North Korea, I thought at once of Van Cliburn's 1958 visit to Moscow, where he won the Tchaikovsky Competition and taught a generation of Russians that there was more to America than what they read in the pages of Pravda, thus helping to bring about the ultimate collapse of communism.
Hold it right there, shitbird. Ronnie destroyed the Commies, as everyone knows.

And players of instruments too
Legalize it, yeah, yeah

Even the lawyers too
So you got to legalize it...

We're skipping the Philly demo, but we vigiled for two hours instead of one. Half of which time it was pouring, and I mean pouring rain. Dang, and I just washed my hair.

Fucking idiot.
HOUSTON—The city's school system has fired a police officer for creating and distributing a "Ghetto Handbook."
The eight-page booklet, handed out to other police officers at a May roll call, said the definitions it contained would allow readers to speak as if they "just came out of the hood." It was subtitled "Wucha dun did now?"
Gang investigator Roby Morris, 34, had worked for 11 years at the Houston Independent School District before being fired this past week, according to an investigation report released Friday. He had been on paid leave since August.
"This incident represents an egregious violation of our standards of conduct and decency," said school district spokesman Terry Abbott.
Morris told investigators he made the booklet to get back at one of his bosses. He also pointed out he is married to a black woman and that they have three children together, according to the report.
Morris could not immediately be reached for comment Saturday.
Solitaire? Fuck that.
Not a Neil Sedaka fan?
Terry Teachout:
If you want to know what's going on in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, all you have to do is look at a picture--the one that Donald Rumsfeld displayed at a Pentagon press conference in 2002. Snapped after dark by a weather satellite, it shows what the Korean peninsula looks like from outer space every night of the year: North Korea is nearly pitch black, South Korea ablaze with countless points of electric light. It is a jolting visual metaphor for the dark isolation of an impoverished totalitarian state whose hungry citizens are not permitted to own cellphones, surf the Web or listen to radio broadcasts from other countries.
Why, then, is the New York Philharmonic giving serious consideration to playing in Pyongyang, the capital of what may be the world's most viciously repressive dictatorship? And why is the Bush administration encouraging it to do so?
I don't think those classical musicians use electrical instruments, so they'll be OK.

Ya need a drive-in big screen to do it justice.
Having worked for a large TelCo Which Shall Remain Nameless, the number of lawyers on staff, with each division having one located within shouting distance of the head of the division, etc., is amazing.
External lawyers are brought in only after the legwork has been done in house and litigation looms. Small litigants were dealt with by delay, deny, obfuscate, demand more paperwork than any small litigant could afford (especially the latter--hit the little guy in his small pocketbook). Very large customers were dealt with by meeting any reasonable demands and then currying their favor. Itsybitsy teenyweeny complaints, such as a small billing discrepancies, could actually be handled by low-level clerks and managers--which did wonders for customer retention.
These telcos are not going to be hurting, except for their reputations. And that is all they're worried about with this lawsuit. Not that all consumers have actual choices!
But, as I said above, the DC insiders who depend on the powerful (and, somehow, it's mostly Rethug power, aina?) for their access seem to actually believe laws are for the little people.
Not for protecting an important US spy asset--in the field of nuclear nonproliferation, specializing in Iraq and Iran. Oh, no! So terrible that dear Scooter was attacked that way by that nasty special prosecutor. He should have been going after Dems, for heaven's sake....

You can't be *that* bad.
I'm not a huge fan of twitch shooters, in general. I'm more into strategy stuff like Civ or Total War, and the occassional RPG like Blade of Darkness.
Solitaire, not so much. I'm more of a Sudoku type.

In the early 70s this was called "detente", but the Team B guys made detente in to a dirty word, so it'll be called something else.
