The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

Government-run LIPA can't get the lights back on, but I'm sure government health care will be different
Remember the phrase "good enough for government work"? Yeah, that's LIPA.
Priscilla Niemiera has a message for officials at the Long Island Power Authority.
"I'd tell them, get off your rear end and do your job," the 68-year-old Seaford resident said. Well, she would if she could get in touch with anyone.
Over the last two weeks since she lost power from Superstorm Sandy, she says, "every time I called they hung up on me."
While most utilities have restored electricity to nearly all their customers, LIPA still has tens of thousands of customers in the dark.
LIPA is different from "most utilities", they're a government agency.
LIPA, whose board is chosen by the governor and lawmakers, contracts with National Grid for service and maintenance.
Asked Monday about LIPA board vacancies he hasn't filled and whether he takes responsibility for what's happening there, Cuomo called the authority a holding company that became "an intergovernmental political organization."
But don't worry America. The "intergovernmental political organization" that'll run Obamacare? I'm sure it'll be different. Totally focused on you. Dedicated public servants, working tirelessly to deliver quality services at a fair price. Your health care is in the very best of hands. Those hands are busy playing golf at the moment, but they are the very best. Trust me.
Oh, did I mention that LIPA has some of the highest rates in the nation? And the lowest JD Power ranking for customer satisfaction?
Purely coincidentally, our health insurance premiums continue to skyrocket. And nobody loves Obamacare.
Think of it this way. Instead of "First, do no harm", your doctor has a new
motto — I'm from the government and I'm here to help. What could
go wrong?
