@Ed: The best type of humor makes one laugh and has a dark side, and your posting was very humorous!

Interesting article. I am amazed that serving military have to pay for calls home etc. When I travel, my employer covers a reasonable amount of communication with home, and it would seem fair that the military would provide the same.

Excellent segment, but it mostly makes me sad that a country can be so technologically advanced and still send humans off to the other side of the world to kill humans.

Maybe the President could order AT&T to charge less. I hear they'll gladly comply with his orders.

I watched a live birth in a movie I bought yesterday called "Romance". I don't know how the doctors do it and I never want to see that again. If they do, more power to them.

That's wonderful he could see the birth even though he couldn't be there.
