Mobispine has set out to give the iPhone the “world’s first true Multimedia Messaging for iPhone.” We already know there are third party “hacks” out there like Swirly MMS that kind of provide a fix for some.

(The counter to this might be that none of the other committees in the Senate want to yield their portfolios to the new Homeland Security committee, although Lieberman could have gotten hearings if he had wanted to.)

How do Republicans have an ice-cubes chance in hades when the media creates voters like this via Moonbattery: See this isn’t the voters fault. They’re just parroting what the press told them. It is the press’ unrelenting, vicious, intentional, biased pap that passes for journalism these days. In a sound-bite culture, the media creates the narrative and the narrative NEVER favors the conservative ideology. Ever. John Ziegler of How Obama Got Elected says: Because obviously ...
