According to Wired, the Democratic Convention in Boston is accepting bloggers application for press credentials. So, anybody think Tales of The Sausage Factory should go on a road trip?

Good news for consumers! @JRosenworcelFCC announced she's circulating the cable/satellite "anti-junk fee" item for a vote this meeting. Hopefully we can get 5-0 on honest billing!
https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-398618A1.pdfWhen we speak of successful U.S. industrial policy, my first answer is the 1956 AT&T antitrust consent decree, which spurred American general computing (eg, IBM) AND more or less created a US semiconductor industry. My second pushing the IBM unbundling of software.
The @FCC took action to help survivors of domestic abuse separate from shared phone plans. As @NicholasPGarcia explains, "One of the horrors of abuse is isolation... these rules help ensure that our comms services work to protect & empower survivors." 📰:
Today we take a necessary step forward in protecting our nation’s survivors. By creating connections through Lifeline and providing an opportunity to reach out for help without being tracked, we are extending critical assistance during a time when help is most needed.
All items adopted unanimously. So what's behind the curtain Johnny?
I think that would be pretty cool. Although it would be interesting, I think, if for that purpose, if you took a broader look at media slants, al la the Reagan/Viacom and Clear Channel/indecency intrigues.
Of course, if we got a Wetmachine group-blog pass, then I could enter paranoid rants and Peg could write up efforts to get John Kerry to levitate to top of the Fleet Center using quantum transportation. . .
And being a resident of the hub, I’ll just be hunkered down in my bunker, surviving off of stockpiled diet coke and power bars.
Perhaps it won’t turn out to be a total fiasco, but the amount of inconvenience imposed by the convention will be pretty staggering. Shutting down both one of the major arteries into the city (the one which we just paid $14 billion for) and one of the two major train stations in the city is going to make moving in and around the city a nightmare.
But if we did get a press pass, it might be interesting to see how things are at the eye of the storm…
Hello there! What’s going on, everyone?http://www.no-fax-payday-lo…
