Right now in Massachusetts regular unleaded is down to $2.09, triggering nostalgic memories of, say, late 2004--those were great times, eh? But infrequent motorists would be well-advised to top off their tanks in the next two weeks. You could save yourself $5, $10, or even $15 in short order!

You might also consider buying twenty or thirty gas cans and filling them up, too. Just don't smoke around them--it's bad for your health!

Why aren't we asking: "Who Lost Iraq?"

Americans may not mind being lied into a war, but we sure don't like to then lose that war.

The Iraq War is lost, and at this point the blame falls entirely on the Bush Administration. Why aren't we pounding them for having lost this war?

Remember how they blamed liberals for "losing" China, and then Vietnam. In Iraq, the timeframe is still entirely on the Republican watch.

By asking NOW who lost Iraq, we can leapfrog a pointless debate on whether we have, in fact, lost it, and pin the blame where it belongs.

John Kerry's Washington office just told me on the phone (202-224-2742) that Kerry has just endorsed Ned Lamont for the Senate. We can expect a press release soon. Kerry's home offices are not yet clued in on this yet.

Over the next few days, we can expect more of the Democratic establishment to fall in line behind the people's chosen candidate, Ned Lamont. Lieberman's money will dry up, he'll resort to Republican endorsements, and his sad career will wither up and blow away.

Get ready for the coming spin on Lamont/Lieberman. Joe stuck his long goodbye to the Democratic Party as deep into the July 4th newshole as he could, but in the weeks to come he'll be calling in every chit with every talking head he knows.

Expect him to show up on Russert, Matthews, and Fox, philosophically ruing today's sad state of politics, when a senior statesman gets ambushed by far-left drive-by bloggers. He won't mention Lamont--he'll focus on us, and how we're manipulating the internet--a clear evil. He'll reminisce with the beltway whores about how it used to be, and they'll fawningly agree.

He'll position himself as a man of principle. Expect much more of putting the country ahead of his party. "Yes, Tim, it's painful, but it's what any American would do. I have to think about the country, and not just my party. I didn't leave the Democrat (sic) Party --it left me." (More after the jump...) Read More

This is my first diary--please forgive my mistakes.

The Verizon website says:
"Verizon was one of the first large employers to create an ethics office headed by an executive responsible for compliance. Our comprehensive Code of Business Conduct... has become a model for other companies. We train and certify our employees on their understanding of the code, and the code is available online for reference.

Because the code cannot address every situation that might arise, we also operate a confidential VZ Ethics Line (800 856-1885 or 800 968-4586 TTY and 800 488-7900 for Verizon Wireless) that employees, suppliers and the public can call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to ask questions, seek clarification or report alleged misconduct or violations of our code."

I called their Ethics Line, which is staffed by a 3rd-party ethics investigation firm called Global Compliance. I was impressed by how they handled my complaint. (Read more..) Read More
