If I hear Lenny Dawson butcher the name of one more athlete I’m going to take my 19″ Toshiba TV and throw it out in the driveway and run over it with my Buick LeSabre until I feel better.

I don’t know why KMBC 9 News in Kansas City doesn’t just kick this old, alcoholic codger to the curb and get someone in there who can at least get the cue cards right.

The hugeness of AT&T is starting to bug me.  I liked Southwestern Bell — they was much better before AT&T borged them — at least from a customer service POV.

I ran across this picture a while back and with AT&T’s acquisition of Cingular and the extreme re-branding, it makes me think that the customers are really starting to get the shaft.

Then, I read this article today and I’m even more convinced.

I’ve griped about this before, but rural America is really at a disadvantage in terms of broadband Internet services.   Hopefully the phone companies neglect of country-dwellers will open a large market for the power companies offering broadband over power lines.

Well it’s about stinkin’ time that the Bucks get the deal with Yi done.

My thoughts:

That looks like a Robert “Tractor” Traylor sized jersey.

Is Sen. Kohl a shrimp or what?

This is going to be really bad. She’s terrible on the evening news and she’s going to be terrible in the Middle East.

Who’s not going to see this as a really dumb publicity stunt?

I felt it would be really important for the American people to get a big picture of what is going on, in terms of northern Iraq, in terms of Sadr City (and) the Anbar province. People hear all these things and I think it’s really hard—as some people get Iraq fatigue—to keep a healthy and understandable perspective of what is going on. My goal is to provide that.

Yeah, the “Big Picture.” Riiight.
