Perhaps even spending some of his valuable time and effort to issue a quote to the press along the lines of "And so many of the people here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them."

I always get such great service when I have to deal with my wireless, cable, or telephone companies!

Meaning the part of the service where they send me the bill. The part where they I have to call them to fix problems? That part of the service is perhaps a little tiny smidge of a bit less than perfect.

But then again, <i>that</i> is Obama's fault. He's an anti-colonialist, after all.

right and i think the history of privatizing gov't functions is littered with much higher costs and very mixed results (i'm thinking military contracting, MA, prisons, schools)

but no one calls them on this shit. it's just an accepted truism that the private sector is better.

I'm taking FEMA's advice and staying indoors and home from work until the storm has passed.

But since I live in San Francisco I'm having a slight problem convincing my boss that it's a good idea.
