High Speed Internet

I just upgraded my broadband to Verizon FIOS (Fiber Optic) 15 mbit/sec download and 2mbit/sec upload. $45/month. I'm now 20 times faster than I was before and over 10 times faster than what I get at my office (a high tech company, though not the main office). I can download from my corporate sites faster at home over a VPN than I can in the office!

Where was the Press

Perhaps the most astounding thing surrounding the whole "why wasn't the press notified immediately" "controversy" is where was the press in the first place.

According to reports, an ambulance always accompanies Vice President Dick Cheney. Cheney's friend gets shot, is loaded into this ambulance, which presumably sped away with lights and sirens. Not one person in the press noticed, which probably means there wasn't one person from the press accompanying the VP.
