Judge Tosses Telco Suit Over City-Owned Network
tsa sends along news of the city of Monticello, Minnesota, which was sued by their local telco, Bridgewater Telephone Company, because the city chose to build a fiber optics network of their own. The judge dismissed their complaint of competition by a governmental organization. Quoting: "The judge's ruling is noteworthy for two things: (1) the judge's complete dismissal of Bridgewater Telephone Company's complaint and (2) his obvious anger at the underfunding of Minnesota's state courts. Indeed, the longest footnote in the opinion is an extended jeremiad about how much work judges are under and why it took so long to decide this case."
had it to easy for two long!
Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask.
Let's all send the judge $5.00.

Um, my vocabulary includes FORTRAN, COBOL and BASIC. Couldn't you have said "bitch" instead of "jeremiad"?
My wife doesn't listen to me either...
"jeremiad", now that's what Mark Twain would have called a 10-dollar word. I love it, and now I can dump my 10-cent word "rant".

People working in government agencies do not start their day thinking how they can be inefficient for you.
Some things come naturally.
Most government agencies are not inefficient at all, and have less waste then private industries.
A bureaucracy is very good at getting complex things done well.

two long what?
I'm so excited I just made water in my pantaloons!
Sweet, time to get that new "community swimming pool", which I will create by razing my neighbor's house, building it on his property, and then charge admittance to.
This is going to be awesome. I never liked his house anyway, and chicks in bikinis > fat man in sweats any day.
