The Short List — Thurs., Feb 28.
February 28th, 2008 by Joe Bardi in The Morning Papers
“Without telecom immunity, how will the government know what you are telling your grandma over the videophone?”
- Bush tempers his absurd demands for telecom immunity and more war money with a request for increased AIDS funding. One out of three ain’t bad.
- McCain says “Obama doesn’t know Al-Qaeda is in Iraq!” Obama responds: “Of course I do, John, you helped put them there.”
- Is McCain a “natural-born” citizen? It’s not as open and shut as you think.
- Bloomberg bows out before he was even in.
- It’s always an event when Keith Richards talks to the press.
- Apple prepares the iPhone development roadmap.
- Time to upgrade those contact lenses?
- Best Onion headline of 2008 (so far): Diebold Accidentally Leaks Results of 2008 Election Early.

Those contacts are so cool it almost makes me wish I had poor eyesight.

It’s unfortunate that everyone can’t be genetically blessed with bad eyesight. However, there are some things you can start doing now that will lead to decreased visual acuity. Try spending a lot more time sitting right up against the TV or staring into the sun and you should be well on your way to the eyesight loss necessary to get your insurance company to pay for a set of bionic contacts.
Or, just stick a fork in your eye. However, that night lead to more vision loss than you intend. Just ask Jim McMahon.

I want contact lenses with my SunPass code stamped on them.
Beeeep.

Wouldn’t you find it disconcerting every time your eyes beeped? I think I would find that bothersome.

So the NY Times expose on McCain’s “affair” quickly died. Now they try going after McCain’s eligibility based on his birthplace.
Pretty lame guys!

I’ve already got the sitting right in front of the TV thing down pat, but I’m going to have to work on staring into the sun. Although I did recently lose my sunglasses, so that should help. I’m also considering taking up needlepoint in very dimly lit rooms.
Heidi: I think the SunPass/bionic contact is genius. If my SunPass ever actually worked I would like it even better. My bionic contact lenses would also unlock my car and log me on to my computer automatically.
