In Other News…
I got up this morning around 6AM to pick up my iPhone 3G. I promised I would wrap up the news before taking it out of the box, so here goes…
- USI still hasn’t decided if they are going to allow benefits for same-sex couples. It’s 2008. How about we allow any couple to benefits, straight or gay.
- Speaking of USI, they just broke ground on a new $32 million engineering and business building. They have to be running out of space at this point.
- Horse Racing at Ellis Park begins at 2:40PM this afternoon. Place your bets, people.
- Obama is opening 6 offices in Indiana, including one in Evansville. After his vote on the FISA bill, I can’t say I’m too excited about it.
- Toyota has decided to move production of the Tundra from Princeton to Texas. Don’t fret. We’re getting Highlanders.
- Mesker’s new Amazonia exhibit is set to open August 4. Where’s my invite to the ceremony?

I’m not upgrading to the 3G model…at least, not yet. I am, however, downloading the 2.0 software as I type.

What about McCain’s vote on the FISA bill? Oh, that’s right, he hasn’t casted a vote in the senate since April!
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/07/08/mccain-congress/
He’s missed 61% of his votes this year. Most absent senator! He hasn’t even had a primary to mess with since then. Too busy scratching people’s backs…greasing palms…kissing babies…
The problem with politics today is this constant meme that one issue defines a candidate. If a candidate gets the majority of the stuff right, that’s all I can ask for.
Just sayin’.

About USI, they own all of the land down to Broadway. They have plenty more room to grow.

I did have an ibrick for the better part of the day due to everyone updating. The best thing to do is just to leave the iPhone plugged in and wait.
