Well, good thing smartphone makers aren't forcing people to get crappy T-Mobile for their Android needs now.

Worst. Carrier. EVER.

Baconcat, are you local? I've had T-Mobile for years and lurve them out here... at least they're way better than Sprint/Nextel and AT&T.

I really want an Android phone, but I'm waiting for the non-hideous looking ones to come out.

And I've had T-Mobile for years without any issues.

You left the Spelling Bee out of the Morning News! The girl from Seattle is still in the competition, which you could be watching on ESPN THIS VERY SECOND if you're inclined.

Is there really a place called Pakistani City?

There should be a place called American City. You can only get there by riding in a bald eagle. They only restaurants are hotdog stands and barbeque joints, and the Budweiser flows wine. The whole town smells like freedom.

I miss T-Mobile's low rates. God damn iPhone only available with AT&T.

Umm, Baconcat, it can't possibly be worse than AT&T. Ye gods they're horrible.

any surprise the story about the faux abduction left out the part about the two big black guys in a cadillac that mommy described as her abductors?

Did anyone else get an idea for a new tv series?

"Mock Trial with S. Sotomayor" Anyone?

"You're turning this mock trial into some kind of- um..."
"You were going to say 'mockery', weren't you?"

Oh goody,lLet's see what Barack Hussein Obama has done already:

* Korea has shot off missiles, detonated a successful nuke, and is becoming very aggressive. More crap from NK in Obama's first 150 days than in all of Bush's 8 years.

* Obama has cut funding for a missile defense. Something we really need and an act we could really live to regret.

* Iran is plodding ahead with their nuke, and just watch Obama let this happen. When Israel attempts to stop them, Iran will be far more aggressive in their response because Obama is perceived as weak.

* Obama's lack of strong response to the piracy incident has probably encouraged a number of bad actors in the world.

* Obama's release of sensitive intelligence information has made intelligence harder to conduct.

I predict that under Obama's watch we will see another serious domestic terrorist attack. I predict someone in the world will soon commit a major act of aggression. I predict that China may take advantage of this chaos and invade Taiwan. Elections have consequences, and the election of Barack Obama will cost many lives around the world. All who voted for Barack Hussein Obama will have blood on their hands.

In terms of national security Barack Hussein Obama will exceed even Jimmy Carter's level of incompetence.
