1.) It’s official: Everybody hates Genachowski’s plan to regulate the Internet — And yes, we do mean everybody: The lefty nutters at Free Press, former comic Al Franken, Republican FCC Commissioner Robert M. McDowell, and now, a group of Senate Republicans. The beef from the left–Franken, Free Press, and the supposed two million Americans who accidentally signed petitions thinking they were entering a contest for free Krispy Kreme–is that FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski’s proposed framework does not do enough to control the Internet. For instance, liberals are unhappy that cable companies would still have incentives under Genachowski’s policy to invest in creating faster, stronger, and better services, access to which could be priced at a higher rate than existing Internet services. Meanwhile, Republicans and McDowell are concerned about what the regulations would do–namely, establish “an unjustified and unnecessary expansion of government control over private enterprise.” In the middle of it all is Genachowski, a bureaucrat with the heart of a Marxist and the vertebral integrity of a plane-crash survivor. The FCC votes on Dec. 21. Don’t miss it. (more)

It’s been a hot and sticky week in New York City. I showed up to a meeting on Tuesday looking like something out of a terrifying Dali painting, my face dripping off and collecting on the table in a puddle of melted wax. My colleague literally watched me lose 2 pounds over the hour I was there. My boobs were actually lactating sweat — which would be a super trick if I could find a way to lactate beer. Or french fries. Or liquid gold. Might almost be worth the hassle of getting pregnant, minus the weight gain and residual child. At any rate, I feel bad for the war correspondents in the Middle East. Not because they’re in harm’s way, but because keeping their makeup on must be a bitch. (more)

Well it was a fabulous weekend in the Hamptons, where I’m usually loathe to go without my shotgun. But friends had a party and to the party you must go. It did not disappoint — a spirited game of whiffle ball (I got two hits and two strike outs — yes, I pitched), an excruciatingly long game of beer pong with Bill Schulz, swimming and frolicking in the grass. It was not without incident, however, as I left with 17 mosquito bites on my lower legs. I shaved my legs the next morning and my razor thought it was doing moguls at the Nagano Olympics. I looked like a leper, and that’s not leperist — a leper would have heartily agreed. (more)

Not too shabby for a sixth-round pick out of Saint Joseph’s, but certainly not Hall of Fame material. (more)
