1. Well then...
I guess my ISP does support Bush.

That being said I still love SBC. I'm glad they have no vested interest in the entertainment industry and they are willing to stand up against the RIAA and MPAA to protect the privacy of its customers.

2. Check out your LBC and CAC
Hopefully, your BC will not be overloaded by the CTBS.

If it checks out, then run a scan on your ABTC and HFSYA, YFC.

Has anyone heard or read anything about the family that owns Comcast?

4. What I found:
Edited on Tue May-11-04 02:21 AM by Blasphemer
I'm with Comcast as well:

Stephen Burke is a Bushie but interestingly, he's also given money to Senator Schumer.. :shrug:

Edit: Also found this:

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bal-te.obscenity06apr06,0,3004361.story?coll=bal-home-headlines

"Brian Roberts, the CEO of Comcast, which offers "hard-core" porn on the Hot Network channel (at $11.99 per film in Baltimore), was co-chair of Philadelphia 2000, the host committee that brought the Republican National Convention to Philadelphia. In February, the Bush campaign honored Comcast President Stephen Burke with "Ranger" status, for agreeing to raise at least $200,000 for the president's re-election effort. Comcast's executive vice president, David Cohen, has close ties to Gov. Edward G. Rendell of Pennsylvania, a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee."

Roberts has also given to Dems (HRC, Biden, Hollings, Daschle, Nelson):

Cohen is a Dem:

5. My Friend Recommended "Speakeasy"
she pays $29.95 for her DSL and it's a progressive company but I think maybe it's only in L.A....I'm going to try it after my SBC contract runs out as I'm trying to divest myself of all the BushShit, as much as possible anyhow!
