Mike Cohen I’m in Vancouver now. Unlike my last trip, my luggage arrived with me this time. My flight from FLL to Denver was delayed 50 minutes because one crew member wasn’t there since her incoming flight was delayed. Thankfully I was still able to make my connecting flight.
The iPhone works here with Rogers Wireless, including EDGE data connections.
I’m leaving for Vancouver early Sunday morning. I’m going for the company’s All-Hands Meeting on Wednesday and I’ll be coming home Friday. I won’t have much time for fun or touristy things. I won’t bother taking my camera, but I’ll have my iPhone.
This really disgusts me.
Senante disrupted by jerks. Three members of anti-abortion group Operation Save America disrupted the daily opening prayers of the Senate yesterday morning, which were being lead that day Rajan Zed, a Hindu priest. This was the first time a Hindu priest lead the opening prayer… Via MetaFilter.
His invocation doesn’t sound anti-Christian to me. He doesn’t mention a specific name of the supreme being so it can apply just as much to any religion.
We can always count on Fort Lauderdale mayor Jim Naugle for making a dumb statement or stirring up controversy. Thanks to term limits, he can’t run again, so he’s being more outrageous than ever. His latest pet idea is a $250,000 robotic toilet aimed to prevent the “homosexual activity” that he said plagues other public restrooms by only allowing occupants to stay inside for a short time before the door opens.
“We’re trying to provide a family environment where people can take their children who need to use the bathroom,” he said, “without having to worry about a couple of men in there” says Naugle, even though police say sex in restrooms is no longer a hot crime. He talked about the illicit sex recently in public meetings, in an interview and in e-mails to residents. There’s already a campaign to Flush Naugle by emailing a virtual roll of toilet paper (or they could just TP city hall 😉
Of course gays aren’t Naugle’s only target. Last year rejecting an affordable housing law he said:
people are mistaken if they think they are entitled to an affordable single-family house on a 40-hour-a-week work routine. People need to work more hours and settle for a condo or townhouse.
“I’m supposed to subsidize some schlock sitting on the sofa and drinking a beer, who won’t work more than 40 hours a week?” he asked.
“I deny that there is a problem. You can buy condos all day for $160,000.”
“One person is working two or three jobs to get ahead and one person isn’t,” he said. “Should we tax the person that’s working hard to get ahead to pay for the one who isn’t?”
Thanks to statements like those, Naugle made it to Democratic Underground’s Top 10 Conservative Idiots list.
