Hi MSI,

I just had a minor shock to the system.... I've been enjoying following the Daily Scoop from Hotline for a few months now. They just notified their readers that they can no longer offer the service for free. Instead they need to charge a small subcription fee..... $5,500 per annum. The truth is getting to be a pretty expensive commodity in the Bush Erratum Era....
