Quote of the Day

"“I am unable to have a cellphone and I need one for emergencies,” said Aliesa Azbill of Dayton, who is in a work training program at Community Action Partnership. She said the 250 free minutes she gets per month through SafeLink isn’t enough to use it for much more than emergencies." -- owner of an ObamaPhone. 
Wow, 250 minutes/month for emergencies -- and that's not enough talk time. Wow. I would love to listen in to some of those emergency calls: the only emergencies I can think of that would last 250 minutes:
  • hostage negotiation
  • 9/11 suicide intervention
  • coordinating emergency response to a Bakken blowout
  • LA County freeway SUV chase following a bank robbery or drug deal gone bad
  • calling a friend while part of a "rent-a-crowd" at an Obama speech
