These comments should be directed at the White House. Venting it here doesn't help anything. http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact I just finished writing them to complain and you should too.

Actually, if you wanna see a side by side comparison of MJ and Brittany Spears, check out this video of them performing together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsJQomr6Er0&NR=1 She's not even singing in tune, and her voice sounds terrible. She should be embarrassed to be on the same stage as him. Then when Michael comes in, it's just absolutely terrific. He was a truly talented musician unlike most of what passes for artists nowadays.

An anonymous reader writes "According to the Register, Senator Diane Feinstein is attempting to put language into the stimulus bill that would kill net neutrality. The amendment that her provision was attached to was withdrawn, but lobbyists tell Public Knowledge that Feinstein hopes to put it back into the bill during the closed-door conference committee that reconciles the House and Senate versions." Bad Senator! No Cookie!

On a slightly related note, most super markets will settle for a telephone number instead of your 'club card'. For every market that requires a club card, I just give them (local area code)-555-1212, and I get my discount.

This works because there are enough people interested in privacy (or just don't want to give out their tel. number) out there that these throw away club accounts have been created at all major super markets. I like to think of it as bugmenot.com for the real world.
