Bush Says Americans 'Ought to Have' Broadband and a Pony by 2007
wrttnwrd writes "George Bush is calling for universal broadband by 2007. He doesn't say how, or who's going to pay for it, or who's going to build it, but hey, isn't almost good enough? (for all of you Boondocks readers out there)" First step to universal broadband: don't have your Justice Department argue against communities providing their own broadband service. And don't forget the pony!

oh wait...
GWB did not propose spending one dime on universal broadband. All he said is that all Americans "ought to have it."
To paraphrase, when it comes to jobs all Americans "ought to have one" too.
He has the exact same plan for that too, thas is do nothing at all.
I guess that is what he means by "strong leadership."
Why don't you embrace your slashbotness instead of living in a dreamworld?

The evil martian regime harbors weapons of mass destruction in the form of tremendous stockpiles of poison gas, and has even gone so far as to kill off large segments of its own population. Our weapons inspection teams are hampered at every turn, and the British inspection team hasn't been heard from in months, presumed dead.
We cannot ignore the martian threat any longer.
