Once upon a time, we expected our intelligence agencies to spy overseas but leave our local privacy alone.
Now, spy agencies tap every domestic communications channel, but apparently spying overseas is bad.
"Unbiased" and "Honest" are capitalized. That's cruise control for credible.
You can't explain that.
Bugs Bunny always pronounced it "Albakoikey" in his faux-New Jersey accent. I don't think Tuscon or Flagstaff or Barstow has the same mispronunciation humor potential. And it's a funny word even when pronounced correctly, TBH.
That's the best AT&T's vaunted legal strategists could come up with?
"You're not the boss of me, FTC!"

That's pretty irrelevant. Wal-Mart's success is fundamentally based on the premise that low immediate prices swamp all considerations of durability and reliability. You buy stuff at Wal-Mart because you don't really believe it's cheap fragile junk, and the low price gives you incentive to keep on foolin' yourself.
The retail prices are lower, at the point-of-sale. The average Joe Sixpack consumer is not doing a TCO calculation, so the sales model works for them.
Well, you know how it is. The over-the-top scumbag marketers gives the remaining 1% a bad name.
If this festering pool of April Fail wasn't already sufficiently dead and putrescent enough, Poe's Law would have killed it.
Between clueless "editors" and clueless politicos, this is why we can't have nice (funny) things.
I always thought the meal was happy because it was finally getting out of that God-forsaken place. Even being hauled away to be dismantled by a shrieking 4-year old and being consumed piece-by-piece is better than remaining within the confines of a McDonalds establishment.
I'm joking. I think.
Of course not.
They'll sue their ex-employee's new employer, assuming it's strategically worth it to bully them into something. (Coerce them out of a market, or into a partnership, etc.)
It's an arrow in a quiver. It's not fired unless there's a good target.
Well, the obvious difference is you can't use "correct horse battery staple", because the NSA knows about that one. Their CIA colleagues probably managed to extract it using the $5 wrench decryption algorithm.
Even creepier. The ketchup slithers out of the bottle top like a red high-temperature Helium II... and all over everything. And it keeps going... seeking something only Cthulhu knows.
OTOH, who can resist the opportunity to revive the phrase "anal leakage"?
You're talking about penises a lot.
Are you sure you're not a Republican Catholic priest?
