In the News

Favorite Quote of the Day

“It sounds as though the telecoms believe it when the FBI says the warrant is in the mail, but not when they say the check is in the mail.”
A comment made by Michael German, former FBI agent and national security policy counsel for the ACLU responding to an FBI report that says several of the big telecommunication companies cut off the bureau’s wiretaps of suspected terrorist and criminals when the agency failed to pay its bill on time.


Celebrity Pitchman of the Day

Dr. Robert Jarvik has recently been seen all over network TV promoting Pfizer’s top selling drug Lipitor. It seems a committee of Congress investigating celebrity endorsement of drugs has sent Pfizer a letter asking for some clarification.
Some of the questions? Does Dr. J really take Lipitor as he claims in the commercials? Also it seems the good Dr. may have never actually practiced medicine and doesn’t have a license to do so. Anybody need a good artificial heart? Like new, only used just over a 100 days.
