A New Post

Apparently, I haven't blogged much since my vacation. I blame my readers for your lack of dedication.

So, I totally missed the one year anniversary of the blog. (breathless flashback to my stunning first post) My bad. Bon Anniversaire a cette blog.

It's 3:00 am right now, and I can't sleep. I realized just now that, without having any way to be sure, it's probable that I haven't seen doctor since Ronald Reagan was president. (This statement applies only to regular checkups. The emergency room visits for my college drinking incident and my recent broken bone do not apply. Your mileage may vary.) I probably should arrange a visit soon, but I'm guessing that, like most everything else (except computers), post-Reagan healthcare has likely only taken a turn for the worse. (Prognostication: I should quit smoking, cut back on my drinking, eat better and exercise more. I probably have some specific health issue for which someone has concocted a drug whose side-effects are worse than the problems they address. Even pointing my browser to WebMD seems like a waste of time.)

More likely, I'll schedule my car to be inspected long before this happens.

Anyhow, I'm going to grab a drink and a smoke and try to get my ass asleep.

Net Neutrality Fight Moves to the Senate

As you may know, the fight to preserve Net Neutrality was lost in the House. My own personal Representative voted for the interests of the Telcos, and I'm pissed.

Senators Snowe and Dorgan have introduced a bill (S. 2917) which sounds like it has bi-partisan support. Get on the phones, send some emails, and contact your Senators now!
