I had a whole Internet domain that suffered from such problems, only for me it was :rolleyes: system administrators who set all sorts of things to point to us. They even put things like "admin@<domain>" into documentation and training classes! Dolts attending the training would then take the quoted information literally and send us even more :rolleyes:. We sold the domain a few years ago. I'm so glad that's over!

Driving to brunch yesterday, I heard the campaign ad for the party primary - "You vote for Rick Perry every four years, you spend the other three asking why". That's pretty brutal for a primary! Wonder what the opposing party would say ...

This Super Bowl is now the most watched program of all time - bettering the finale of MASH.

I have not heard that... yet. That's pretty good!

I'm in the process of either upgrading my Blackberry or converting it to a paperweight (Step 9 of 12 after accepting every possible upgrade issued since I procured said phone).

I'm hard pressed to identify any Perry supporters in my circle of friends and acquaintances. Bearing in mind that you can't swing a dead cat without hitting at least 20 Republicans and/or Conservatives in Texas, I don't know of any. Even my own mother, who is about as dyed-in-the-wool Republican/Conservative as it gets, voted for Strayhorn last time around. I'm mystified as to where the Perry base is located in the state.

Houston is blessed with an abundance of high-quality AM Sports Stations. 790 is also quite good.

Same here. Rick Perry is a crook and I hope people wake up (but I'm not holding my breath).

Those who've updated their Blackberries should have told me about Step 10 of 12:


Connecting to device (This task might take up to 30 minutes to complete).

Do not disconnect your device until all tasks are complete.
:rolleyes: Watching the progress bar, 30 minutes might be a low-ball figure.

I could barely hear 790 last night after leaving casa de BL. The national feed of the Super Bowl was on 790. I was able to pick up 870 AM WWL, out of New Orleans and hear the Saints broadcasters. Much better than Marv Albert! ^

I have no idea where his supporters are either. My guess is he's concocted some dead voter scheme, but then again, that would be implying that he is some kind of genius.

What I'm more surprised to see are the anti-Jackson Lee signs in my neighborhood, which, historically has been a Jackson Lee supporting area.
