WASHINGTON (AP) -- Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, who is fighting for his political survival, proposed Monday an immediate interest rate freeze on existing balances for the estimated 700 million credit cards in circulation.

Oh boy....

~~The list holds your phone number for just five years....~~
Hat Tip to Some Other George (I've edited the text here because George let me know that you didn't have to re-register).

Hooray, I just learned that the list registry lasts forever, you don't have to call again. But, if you've got new numbers that you didn't have when you first registered you can get them done quick.

OMG, it's been a fine and normal day.

No drag-you-down emotional phone calls, pms, or tweets,, no horror-bills in the mail, the laundry is almost done and frozen meat is thawing, the bed is made, the dog made outside and not inside, the toilet's been scrubbed and the emails are un-junkified. In other words, normalcy rules the day!

I just got back from Uncle Giuseppes, a small Italian supermarket chain on Long Island, I was at the East Meadow store. I like shopping there, they're a little pricey but the quality is high and it's a clean store, and it's also just a few blocks from my home. I wanted some nice steaks to put under the broiler tonight.

A few days back, after Joe Wilson's horrendous behavior, I posted a diary that I wasn't going to visit South Carolina for a vacation. I see that the cry was taken up and the boycott is on.

Greg Sargent's Plum Line Article, "House GOP Leader Vows To Stop Spreading Health Care Falsehood After Local Paper Busts Him" made me start thinking about the power of non-purchase; maybe it's time to turn up the heat and start boycotting newspapers and their advertisers in congressional districts that wimp out of controversy and don't do stories on political leaders who buy into the lies about "Death Squads" and "Health-Care Rationing". Newspapers that say nothing and do nothing about Health Care mistruths send a message of their support of these lies.
