Wednesday's This and That

Governments and Politics

-China and it's cyber police: Kind of cute what they are doing now: a couple of cyber police officers will show up on screens every thirty minutes suggesting that users be on their toes and aware of the cyber security force. Big Brother is being obnoxious.
-Just say NO! Note to all of our reps in the halls of Congress to the president's request for $50 billion for Iraq fiasco. That war now costing $3 billion a week. That's the treasury part; there's the blood part too.
-Idaho's Senator Craig in deep do-do. If he would just come out and level with people... The Idaho Statesmen of Boise has investigated his sexual orientation for eight months? Mitt Romney quoted in the article as saying "...that people who are elected to public office continue to disappoint..." and "...frankly, it's disgusting...." I would certainly agree with him there though I'm thinking of matters a little more weighty that one's private behavior in the sexual realm.
-Japanese government very influential in high speed and low cost availability of internet access throughout Japan. Government action in regulation opened up fierce competition which has allowed an explosion in internet speed and a reduction in the cost of fast internet access. Wow! Go read the article. And if you're like me, without broadband access, the hairs on the back of your neck with stand up a little because of what we haven't done. Come on, America, we're better than this. Let's start showing it!

Having fun here but I gotta go get my selfins to the golf course.
