"Congress should quickly eliminate the

to fix the coupon program than to delay the transition
date.� Pushing back the transition date could also delay
the deployment of new wireless broadband services..... |

seen as the guy trying to connect with the young and hip

The Red Hat Prop Bet |
| � |
Prop bets can be fun, funny,
amusing, and profitable. In case you're not familiar with the term, a prop bet
is a crazy bet. Think back to when you were a kid and another kid said, "I
double-dog dare you to eat that jar of paste - or that bug," and you do it
because you were double-dog dared and after doing it, you became a legend. A
prop bet consists of grown ups who do things just as dumb as the childhood
dares........ |
