I knew there was a reason I threw out my TV ten years ago. Yesterday I was over a friend’s house and he had the news on, I’m not sure which network, but some talking heads were discussing how Obama is “off his game” and how Hillary still has a … Keep Spankin’…
Yeah, this burns my buns in a big way, especially since I chose Earthlink for my ISP BECAUSE they supported Net Neutrality. If I had another choice for an ISP right now other than Verizon, who is much worse, or RCN, who is a joke of major proportions, I’d … Keep Spankin’…

The only Big Media outlet giving the Torture Memo any play is the New York Times, which is the BEST argument going for not letting Wall Street into their Boardroom. Wall Street has benefitted ridiculously from Bush and Company’s wholesale deregulation and resultant bailout after the predictable … Keep Spankin’…
Yesterday I wrote about the Gigantic Guaranteed Loan that the USDA had given out to a company named Open Range Communications to string Wimax across Rural America, including my current home state of PA. Turns out that the head of the company, whose name is William S. Beans … Keep Spankin’…
