The argument against AT&T, for me, doesn't involve how good their coverage is; that is irrelevant. For me the argument goes back to the clipper chip (aka: wiretap chip). Not really into using a company that doesn't think much of customer privacy. Then there is the little issue of them cooperating with the NSA on illegal data acquisition and data mining on the internet. So, the idea of paying them to 'secure' my data is laughable.

You got that headline right, except I would have put it like this; Illegitimate US president promises change, turns out to be more of a douche than the last one!

I don't want to "just let the damn President and elected officials do their job." This is the whole problem. They do "their" job alright and completely ignore doing "our" job. Also, whoever said that the government is meant to protect the rights of the minority? That is completely wrong. The government is not there to protect anyone's rights. The rights of the people are there to restrict what the government can and can not do. So it is the people who are there to restrict the government. The government is only meant to operate in a limited scope restricted by the Constitution. I really hate when people interpret the purpose of government as protecting one group from another. The only place where this applies is in the case of national security where the military is a tool to protect the people from foreign invasion (can we all say 20 million illegal aliens), in which case the Government has failed miserably. So, at this point the Government has failed miserably in every aspect of its intended purpose and in my opinion is no longer a viable Government of which the people ought to tolerate anymore. As far as a real plan for economic recovery, they have had one for a long time already. The plan is to take all our money, our land, and turn America into a 3rd world nation. We are already at 2nd world status, yet, most Americans don't even realize it. So the economic plan is what you see going on right now. Get used to the new economy because this is it. We are all going to more broke, with a lot less, struggling. That's the plan stan. As far as political infighting and the country in a mess I think the entire history of the US has had this going on. Civil War, Great Depression, etc. I can't think of anymore political infighting than half the states breaking away and starting a freaking civil war, then losing the war and being forced to join the union again. That is some pretty serious political infighting. And it might happen again. In our short history the people have failed to force the government to be restricted by the Constitution and operate within it, thus, we will continue to deteriorate and fight until such time the people ignore Walmart and Television and get on with forcing the Government to follow the rules. So I support all the subpoenas and inquests and infighting, since it is the only means we currently have of poking the Government back. The government is whacking us with a tree trunk and we are only poking it back with a twig. And as far as a real economic plan...get rid of the Federal Reserve corporation that charges interest on our own money, start the gold standard again and get rid of the inflationary tax.

I could give a rats ass about digital TV since I don't even watch analog TV anyway. I suppose the main benefit is that you get to watch the crap in even better resolution. Wow, crap in even better resolution!!!!

They would be better off giving them away for free or at least for very cheap to poor people. At least the dealers might make a bit off the maintenance and repairs and at least the cars would not sit there rotting. What a total waste.

P2P users who share and download music and movies are not pirates. They are the cure to a societal disease the has been infecting our country and culture for a long time. So, finally the cure comes along and the cancer (RIAA and MPAA) are screaming because they are dieing. Good! Let the disease drop dead. Stop looking at the pirates of music and video as bad people. They are helping to destroy that which has been destroying American culture for decades. The RIAA and MPAA don't have a leg to stand on. It's ok to pump out trash and shit by the truck load as long as your charge for it? But it's not OK to get trash and shit for free eh? Amazing. I can't wait until they finally prove the damage inflicted upon generations of youth by this crap the RIAA and MPAA have produced. Oh yeah we all get upset about big Tobacco...but we are supposed to feel sorry for the RIAA and the MPAA. Screw the RIAA and the MPAA and screw, especially, Jack Valente!!!

How about a short answer/solution: Just putting out music and movies altogether. Screw the RIAA and the MPAA. Let both turkeys die and let the whole industry die. It is a societal cancer anyway. Get rid of the freakin disease already.

I'm sure Dave is a great guy and Dave has a job unlike many of us. As far as the Superbowl and the NFL it sucks! The sport sucks, the media coverage sucks, the sports commentators that never shut up and talk about stupid stuff suck. The amount of money they waste of this whole event sucks. The amount of money dumb ass morons who run, throw and catch the ball sucks! In fact there is nothing about NFL that is good anymore.... hasn't been for a very long time.
