Pearl Buck "Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied." [via Motivational Quotes of the Day] So why do I always seem to slip past that split second and make the mistake? I know it's going to be a mistake and I choose to go ahead anyways. 11:00:29 PM

Tauzin Reverses Stance On Do-Not-Call List I guess Billy Tauzin doesn't want to be labeled as the guy who let the telemarketers keep calling. As powerful as the telemarketing lobby can be (I'm sure they call your house every night at dinner time), the hatred that voters feel for telemarketers seems to have swayed Tauzin. Just yesterday he was going to block funding for a national do not call list. And, now, he's miraculously changed his mind. He still wants the funds to be limited, and he wants to review how things are going a few years down the road, but he's no longer going to make sure that no list shows up for at least another year. [via Techdirt] Tauzin is such a sleeze.  He's backed Enron, Martha Stewart and seems to be generously supported by big business. I'm on Idaho's no call list as well as subscribing to Qworst's (Qwest)  "block people who don't give their caller-id service".  Surprisingly, I don't get telemarketer's calling me anymore!!  I heartily recommend it to all my friends :-) 1:47:58 AM
