May 5 moretent commented on Boycott the NBA Playoffs!.
+@1. Give it up. They don't care. They aren't paying attention. The importance of quashing a low public funding arena deal is much more important than having a team here.

And, again, they don't care. If it makes you feel better, fine, boycott. Whatever. Blahblahblalh.
Apr 25 moretent commented on WA AG Bob Ferguson Orders T-Mobile to End Deceptive "No Contract" Advertising.
It's pretty clear in Tmobile's advertising that if you cancel you have to, *duh*, pay for the phone you *bought*.

Seems reasonable that they'll extend no-interest payment plans while you're on their network, and kindly ask you pay off the balance when you choose not to be on their network. I'm missing the deception here.

This is a nonsense suit. Bob probably got pressured by ATT because they're threatened.

I'm going to make Dan's closing rant to the vominatrix my ring tone. Brilliant.

And "who put a nickel in me today'. Ha!

Chris Anderson, author of Free, had an interesting take on the shorter/paid - longer/free issue when he released his book, "Free", a few years ago. The unabridged audiobook was free, and 15 hours. The abridged audiobook was a normal audiobook price. His rationale was that the shorter book had two big benefits: 1) saved the listener time and 2) had the benefit of the author's careful editing to maximize value of the shorter version.

As much as I love the podcast, I don't think I can find time for another 45 minutes a week. The ads don't bother me at all -- glad some sex positive businesses are able to hitch a ride to a friendly audience and provide an income for Dan, Nancy and the TSARY. I just hope that the shorter version represents a 'greatest hits' of the week.

For a guy who got laid the previous night, DS certainly seemed to have an extra edge in this one. Enjoyed it, but just sayin.....

Rodney Tom is setting up the abortion issue so that he'll look like it's savior when he uses special rules to force a floor vote and it wins. He needs to keep his conservative breathern happy half the time, but he knows if he pulls this one out for the dems, it will mollify some of the left's passion against him.

Rebecca Brown is catholic. An adult convert no less.

Very very depressing.

Now she gets to bend her writing into the same intellectual yoga positions that fellow catholic and (bonus!) "conservative" Andrew Sullivan submits himself to. A tragic use of gifted minds.

I still read Andrew (as long as I don't have to *listen* to him) and will still read Rebecca, but this is just sad.

@35. A measure of character is not only what people believe, but *why* they believe it. There is a profound difference between believing in the right thing because its good for *you* and believing in the right thing because its good for others.

Typical conservative . "If it effects other people, who cares. But when it effects *ME*....."

Because in their Randian universe, it's all about *ME*

The west coast is pulling its weight on this one. 60% of Pacific-bordering-state senators are women.
