The House of WiFi

Wifi_logo The House has gone wireless.

Anyone with a wireless-capable computer can pick up a signal now in committee rooms, public areas, etc. No registration is necessary, says Jill Chamberlin, spokeswoman for House Speaker Marco Rubio.

"When you first open your browser you will be asked to accept terms and conditions," Chamberlin wrote in an e-mail to reporters. "Other than that, no red tape."

The Senate has not yet offered public WiFi, though it is available to the news media.

Wow… this is really neat you guys. What a way to help those who have lost their hard-line connection because they’ve lost their homes due to forclousure. Hey, I’ve got a thought; if you get a spare minute – what, with all that busy fundraising your guys have to do – but if by chance you get a sec or two… would you mind trying to honor just one of those LIES YOU TOLD TO GET ELECTED, YOU TWO-FACED, LYING, CORRUPT, PUNK-A*S, SELF-SERVING, PERVERTED, WASTE OF MY FREAKING TAXES, UNDER-WORKED & OVER-FED, BLOATED, CORPORATE PUPPET SOB’S!

GOOD, HARD-WORKING, TAX-PAYING, VOTING FLORIDIANS ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES BECAUSE OF YOU LYING FREAKS!

Wow, 2:39, don't hold back, tell us what you really think. lol j/k

And the Legislature is j/k when they say they will go to Tally to fix the problems facing FL.

2:39

GOOD, HARD-WORKING, TAX-PAYING, VOTING pharmaceutical companies manufacture several different treatment options for what clearly ails you. You might want to give one a try, who knows, it might help your problem with proper capitalization along the way.

Bite-me, pinheaded staffer!

2:39's rant makes a few good points

2:39 rant makes a very good point.

These monkey-sticks have done nothing whatsoever to help Floridians. Foreclosures are at an all-time high and climbing. The biggest reason for this is out of control speculation development, an out of control insurance industry, and an economy quickly sliding into a recession.

Meanwhile, they waste our time and taxes on diversion tactics designed to redirect out attention away from the fact that they have failed to address these issues.

Every one of them should be thrown out of office.
