So, we just had the second round of the caucus in Washington State.

Most of us in the party hierarchy (I'm the KCDCC committeeman from the 43rd District Democrats (the heart of Seattle), thought that Clinton would pick up a few delegates and Obama might lose a few (from the almost 70 percent he had at the precinct caucus process), but it was the other way around.

Obama picked up a few in most districts from Clinton.

Sweet! As goes Texas ... where Obama won in the end ... so goes Washington.

OK, serious discussion here. Very serious.

I've had Qwest since it was US West - and DSL since 720k was faster than everyone else - but I never use it. I only use the phone to answer telemarketers, and for my relatives to phone me or my son, and I download Qwest email to my laptop using Comcast cable modem broadband.

But, technically, it is my primary email account.

How is the Comcast Triple Play thing? I get cable service (expanded basic plus Sundance/IFC/SciFi/AMC) and I get cable modem already.

Should I just give up on paying $110 a month for phone, plus $10 for LD, and do this Triple Play thing?

And, if I do, what should I do about my old primary email? Should I see if I can forward it to the Comcast email account I never use? Or use Yahoo (have that too).?

Advice? Sure, I'd like technical points, but I'm able to do that crap, just find it boring ... want to know if I should switch or not - from people on ANY side of this.

Well, I had a batch of 5 mod points yesterday, but no recent friends journals with comments I could upmod, since I'd posted in them.

And I can't upmod pudge's journals since he won't let me, since I'm his enemy. Too bad, cause a couple of people pointed out how he was wrong, in a very informative and insightful way, but I guess the guy can't take criticism.

So I upmodded one of the main story's posts - most of the -1 were totally lame, so I didn't waste a downmod on them, just upmod for a few low score insightful and informative replies.

Seems that for the past six months or so I have been under the misapprehension that people at my university can rent cars from the carpool for personal use.

Not that I ever did that myself. I have a car, I have a bus pass, I can walk most days.

But ... turns out one sub-clause in the 15 or so sub-clauses about the program says it's not for personal use.

Good thing I never used it ... I thought you could. Apparently you can't.

Ever had something like that - a memory of details that just happened to miss one critical exception - catch you up after you've been saying things about it for a long time?

Do you think they might pay attention to a $1.3 BILLION fine?

Because, if analysis of the EU commission is correct, this is just the warning shot ... Open or DIE.

What's your view on this?
