Great news indeed.
Maybe they should apply for immunity. Bush+company seems to like to give that to communications firms.
seeing as comcast b& me for 1 year due to "overuse" I wonder if they'll undo this, even though I have better, faster, stronger internet now
hate to bumb this (not really i'm actually quite indifferent to bumping this, it just sounded like a good way to open the sentance)
anyone know about how much gigs of downloading it takes before Comcast bans you?
I planned on doing a shitload of downloading soon.
I know there isnt a certain unchanging number, but an average would help.
47 Republican senators and 21 other Democrats voted for the FISA compromise too. McCain didn't exactly get in the way of it.
Don't 'fix' something by giving out a partial tarring to a political candidate just because you don't like him. The entire senate save 28 people is covered in this shitty law and yes that includes McCain and Obama.
I'm pissed off as hell at Feinstein for voting yes on this but I'm not about to let McCain supporters score points because he chickened out of taking a stance on the issue.
I love that every time some shitty law comes up and passes, even if it's democrat majority supported, and I check the voting records, my good ol' hometown Russ Feingold (D-WI) voted against it.
If a mixed-race man can become a major party nominee for president, how about a divorced Jew? 2016, I can only pray.

Oh ha sup Amele way to beat meh. Where in Wisconsin (I'm from Madison) And yeah, Herb Kohl sucks.
Glad I'm not the only one that came in to chest-thump about Feingold.
Feingold is a big damn hero in my book.
anyway. western (kind's district) I know a guy who's planning to primary against Kohl in 2012 actually. I kind of hope he pulls it off lol
you bastards rerailed my derail!
No, you fail at life for taking an obvious troll bait seriously. Obviously Obama wasn't the only person who voted for that bill, a fucking 4th grader would know that. I just knew that if I even mentioned Obama's name that his fan girls would come running; you simply proved me correct.
You guys are so confrontational.
