Subject: yikes!

The New York Times didn't let this one sneak by: It Page One-ed the news that public libraries and schools around the country are no longer receiving high-speed Internet access and telephone service. The Bush administration, without public notice, put a moratorium on $1 billion in new grants the states expected to receive by the end of the year.

the bloody bushgang hates librarians and teachers. they even say so out loud.

they picked on the wrong people. librarians and teachers fight back and are smarter then they are.

... doesn't it? Considering that Laura Stepford was a librarian? :P

Wasn't that back when she was trying run people down in her car?

Unlike the media.

That little extra they syphon from you on your phone bill every month.

WHY is there a "moratorium" on distributing it?

Because Halliburton doesn't want Chimpy's IOU's, they want CASH...
