At least they apologize for any inconvenience

Account #: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-1238

Address changes can no longer be performed online

Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Congress passed the USA PATRIOT Act. The purpose of the Patriot Act is to help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities. The Federal government is relying on all financial institutions to take reasonable steps to know the true identity of every customer who wishes to open an account. There are individuals that use banking relationships to finance terrorism and other criminal activity. The effort to identify and verify our customers is one way to further prevent, detect and prosecute international money laundering and terrorist financing.

As part of this effort, Federal law now requires that all financial institutions maintain a physical street address on file for customers. Therefore, address changes can no longer be performed online. To change your address, please call 1-800-xxx-xxxx to speak with a Customer Relations associate.
(Major Credit Card) respects your privacy and maintains its commitment to protecting your personal information. We apologize for any inconvenience.

(no link--too lazy) House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco offered her strongest condemnation yet of President Bush on Wednesday, assailing him as incompetent and declaring that the only way for the United States to triumph in Iraq is to replace him as commander in chief.

Triumph? How about "get the fuck out?"

I am a bit embarrassed at being so surprised by this chart showing where U.S. oil comes from.

So this Firefox browser works great and since Microsoft Word seemed like maybe its been removed from this machine I downloaded a free word processor called Abidword and it works pretty well and earlier I got the notion to spend twenty bucks to get a year of dictionary.coms deluxe version because I find the out loud pronounciation key a nice feature. I have a dictionary software that does it but it's all the way down at my house, which is still occupied for awhile longer by my hippie replacement, and anyway a web based out loud pronounciation key is something a person who believes in good clean fun should have. This little Vaio laptop keyboard is ok, easier to type than I would have thought, in case you're wondering when I'm going to wrap up, I'm just practicing so....
