Well, the only purpose my cell phone serves now is to keep in touch with my baby whenever the hell I feel like it. Seriously, I could wake him up at 3 in the morning to talk about South Park if I wanted.

I also like the fact that when I have my cell phone, I don't ever have to worry about being stranded, or in trouble. If I keep my wits about me, I can always call for help with it. It's scary to imagine something happening and me not having any way to call for help.

Apart from that? It's just a money black hole. Toss some money in, and you can get some worthless collections of pixels, or an annoying ringtone, guaranteed to piss somebody, somewhere off wherever you go!

Also: I dont like memorizing phone numbers I am laaazy.

Marry him and then you could talk all night from right next to him every single night of the year! I cannot guarantee that he will want to talk South Park every night from now on though!

If anything happens, someone else 'always' has a phone you can use. I've been rear ended even (car totaled) and someone driving by will always call the cops for you even without even you having to ask. If this is a scary thing where someone is stalking you - buy a gun. Besides - a gun has cheaper monthy bills. If you don't shoot it, it costs you nothing.

There is something to be said for being able to piss somebody off anytime and anywhere, so good luck with that one.

Irony... the best form of humor. Especially when it's a hypocritical politician.

Report: John Edwards Charges $55,000 for Speech on Poverty

Tuesday, May 22, 2007

John Edwards has an example to teach University of California at Davis students how to avoid poverty — charge $55,000 for a speech.

That's how much the 2008 Democratic presidential candidate negotiated for his fee to speak to 1,787 people at the taxpayer-funded school in January 2006, according to financial disclosures.

According to Joe Martin, the public relations officer for UC Davis' Mondavi Center, the fee for a speech entitled, "Poverty, the Great Moral issue Facing America," was worth it to school officials.

Martin told The San Francisco Chronicle that the center paid Edwards because at the time "he wasn't a (presidential) candidate and from our point of view, he was a speaker of interest that people in the community were clearly interested in ... we feel it's our mission to present those speakers."

The speaking fee, which amounts to about $31 per audience member, was the highest Edwards earned in nine appearances last year at colleges and universities. In all, he earned $285,000 for the nine speeches.

Edwards spokesman Eric Schultz told FOX News that the speech at UC Davis, "was funded by sponsors and ticket sales," and the school has said ticket prices for the event ranged from $17.50 to $45.

Incidentally, students at all of California's public universities will pay a 7 percent increase in tuition next year.
