If you can't afford broadband, go back to dial-up Internet (WalletPop)

Apr 15th 2010 11:35PM I thought I was the last person to ditch dial-up.
I also rode those Free Internet Services in the late 90's until that horse breathed it's last.
IN 2007 AT&T had DSL for $9.95 for new customers only. Something to do with some merger getting approved by congress. They sure didn't advertise it tho.
I was paying $9.95 for dial up then so the choice was easy. There was a 2 year contract however. I have used it for several years now and the price has risen to an outrageous $14.95. It's for sure not a T-1 connection but it beat's the heII out of dial-up.
You still have to have a home phone but at least you can use it while you are online.

The Ultimate American Heresy: 'I Am a Super Bowl Refusnik.' (Politics Daily)

Feb 7th 2010 6:29PM Athough we have different reasons we are on the same page with the football thing.
I gave up on pro football after Bum Phillips was fired from the Oilers. I was just a kid and certainly didn't understand the politics of pro ball but I knew what was right and that wasn't.
I do however like that the Superbowl happens... that means that fooball season is finally over. Now there's a reason for a party!

Since football season is over that means women's beach volleyball starts soon, right?

Now THERE'S a sport I can watch!

White House Won't Crack Down on Assault Weapons (Politics Daily)

Apr 16th 2009 7:17AM "Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed... Whenever government becomes destructive to life, liberty, or property [i.e., the pursuit of happiness], it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it... It is their right; it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."
— American Declaration of Independence (1776)

This is exactly why we want our assult weapons.
This is also exactly why they don't want us to have them.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Ben Franklin

Should We Let Texas Secede? (Politics Daily)

Apr 16th 2009 3:34AM From The People of Texas

We Texans love y'all, but we'll have to take action if Obama wins
president over McCain. We'll miss you too.

Texas has given all those complainers plenty of time to get used to the results. After seeing the whiners along the campaign route, the folks from Texas are considering taking matters into our hands.

Here is our solution:

#1: Elect Barak Obama President of the United States. (All 49 states.)

#2: George W. Bush becomes the President of the Republic Of Texas.

So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic?

1. NASA is just south of Houston, Texas. (We will control the space industry.)

2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States.

3. Defense Industry. (We have over 65% of it) The term "Don’t mess with Texas," will take on a whole new meaning.

4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years. Yankee states? Sorry about that.

5. Natural Gas - Again we have all we need and it's too bad about those northern states. John Kerry will figure a way to keep them warm....

6. Computer Industry - we currently lead the nation in producing computer chips and communications: Small places like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Semiconductor, Dallas Semiconductor, Delphi, Nortel, Alcatel, Etc, Etc. The list goes on and on.

7. Health Centers - We have the largest research centers for Cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world and other large health planning centers.

8. We have enough colleges to keep us going: UT Texas, A&M, Texas Tech, Rice, SMU, University of Houston, Baylor, UNT, Texas Women's University, Ivy grows better in the south anyway

9. We have a ready supply of workers. (Just open the border when we need some)

10. We have control of the paper industry, plastics, insurance, etc.

11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard and the Texas Air National Guard. We don't have an army but since everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an army in 24 hours if we need it. If the situation really gets bad, we can always call Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over a couple Texas Rangers.

12. We are totally self sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs and several types of grain, fruit and vegetables and lets not forget seafood from the gulf. And everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good. Don't need any food.

This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic Of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have.

Now to the rest of the United States under President Obama: Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars, only Mr. Kerry will be able to drive around in his 9 mile per gallon SUV. The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes.

You won't have any TV as the space center in Houston will cut off your communications. You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes but since Mr. Kerry has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas.

Signed, The People in Texas

Have a nice day!
