- [Wi-Fi Networking News] - With tiny scattered networks and the loss of McDonald's, Toshiba's SurfHere locations fold into Cometa Networks: As rumors surfaced a few weeks ago about a reduction in force at Toshiba's SurfHere division coupled with the inevitable reason--McDonald's had already informed them that Wayport would be their anointed partner--Toshiba is essentially exiting their poorly formulated and executed hotspot strategy. While Toshiba couldn't gain traction on its turnkey hotspot offering, Cometa gains the ability to include "some or all"--as the press release puts it--of SurfHere's 350 locations. |

- We sleep our lives awaySwimming in that dreamt fluid,That ethereal liquid,Feeling safe for our time,Content to float and wish.But we must wake.Reality comes into our views,Stagnating on our tongues,Making us face the day and troubles,Lingering from the time we've dreamed.Some rush to the sink,Grabbing everything and brushing,The cold reality from their mouths. |

- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE APRIL 20, 2004 Contact: Stephen Gordon stephen@russoforpresident.com In the first public display of bi-partisan congressional sentiment for conscription, US Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) today floated the idea of a draft to address the deteriorating military situation in Iraq. "Why shouldn't we ask all of our citizens to bear some responsibility and pay some price?" Hagel asked the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. |

- US Senator Chuck Hagel (R-Neb) reported today that the deteriorating military situation in Iraq may force the U.S. to reintroduce the military draft. "Why shouldn't we ask all our citizens bear some responsibility and pay some price?" Hagel said, arguing that restoring compulsory military service would "force our citizens to understand the intensity and depth of the challeges we face. |

- Russo is frequently challenged both by Democrats and Republicans whenever he states that Bush and Kerry are alike. Therefore, we decided to start coming up with a list of areas in which they are alike. We have found quite a few, but are sure you will have others to add.

- Letters to the Editor are an effective outreach tool. So important, in fact, that the Lights of Liberty Award has been established to reward people who write them. Below is a great example of how one simple letter can reach thousands or millions of people. In this example, not only is the newspaper prominent and well read, but it also has an online version where both the originating editorial piece and the consequential letter were published. How many people will see both the words "libertarian" and "Aaron Russo" as a result of this one quick letter? |

- Hola everybody, just thought I would drop by and introduce myself. I know that when Annessa said that there would be a new blogger by the obvious codename Clark, everyone after a couple weeks said "well where is he?"....maybe not, I don't think anyone pays that much attention. But anyways, here I am, and I hope I can live up to the standards set by Annessa. |

- Did I already post a pot story today? What was I talking about again? Well, anyway, here's one more, via the Agitator: [Ohio's Representative Rob] Portman's proposal, so-called "zero tolerance'' per se legislation, presumes individuals guilty of driving while intoxicated simply if trace levels of controlled substances or even drug metabolites (inactive compounds indicative of past drug use) are detected in their bodily fluids -- even if the individual is neither under the influence nor impaired to drive. For anyone who enjoys an occasional toke from a marijuana cigarette, this news ought to be especially unsettling, as marijuana metabolites are often detectable in a person's urine for days or even weeks after the drug is consumed. |

- In news almost too post-modern to digest, Scott Richter, the Internet's third-busiest spammer, has decided that his spammy brand has become recognizable enough to be marketable in its own right. To capitalize, he's launching a line of SpamKing clothing -- initially shirts, hats, and panties bearing phrases such as "Just opt out" and "Click it." You can take a wild flying guess how he'll be promoting the line. Adding an additional layer to the strangeness,... |
