I just blew a mind down at our local country store. There was a K-12er who was wearing a tee-shirt that read:

VZ: VonZipper

I asked if he knew of the other VZ on the NYSE.

He said no.

I asked him if he knew of Bell Atlantic.

He said "yes".

I asked him if he knew of Ivan Seidenberg.

He said no.

His father intervened and asked if this was useful.

I said only if we want to understand the world.

He said nothing.

I suggested that the kid get on the Internet and try to understand the Dingell-Tauzin bill supporting the VZ not mentioned on his tee-shirt:

newnetworks.com

Now I don't expect you to be honest and read this and responsibly agree. I expect you to be a jerk and tell me that I'm merely a know it all, for understanding that this bill is worth $5 Billion to Ivan over the next 8 years. I don't know it all. But I'm lightyears closer than you are, you dismissive twit.
