Posted on entry An Expansion on Palliative Care ::: September 11, 2009, 10:50 PM:
So I just had to (well, I say "had to"; really, I'm a glutton for punishment) read Ron Rosenbaum's column on the "death panels" thing, where he claims that Sarah Palin was actually being METAPHORICAL and liberals were too dumb to get it.

Yes, when she said Democrats would decide Trig didn't deserve to live, apparently that's okay because it was all a metaphor.

I wonder if "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction" was metaphorical too? So Bush didn't mislead anyone, it's just that we were too dumb to understand the metaphor?
Posted on entry Voicemail fail ::: May 21, 2009, 04:13 PM:
I like voice mail. That said, I only have a landline and no caller ID, so if you want me to call back at all, you have to leave a message (otherwise, try again later). I do realize I'm in a minority group though.
Posted on entry The Associated Press wants to charge you $12.50 to quote five words from them ::: June 17, 2008, 10:29 AM:
Real Tech News notes there are a host of publishing options for web sites, one free. Still it does not meet "fair use standards" and is basically ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure this web form isn't new. It's been around for some time. In fact, the story that the form came from (click the AP NewsAlert URL) is dated 5/29. So this is not something new they came up with.

In fact, I've looked into their republishing costs before so I know it's not new.

Still, it's ridiculous.
