I didn't either but for business reasons on my wife's side and I-want-an-iPhone reasons on mine we're thinking of switching to Cingular. I read in a few places that since Verizon has raised their text messaging fees to 15 cents per message ... http://www.whateveriwant.net/http:/www.whateveriwant.net/blog/2008/08/17/sample-post/ Are you surprised?

Bush's hypocrisy never ... http://www.whateveriwant.net/http:/www.whateveriwant.net/blog/2008/08/17/sample-post/ Disgraced minister Ted Haggard has been pronounced "completely heterosexual" after weeks of intensive counseling. Thank god! I knew that if they just worked really hard and prayed over it they would get that homosexuality right out of him. Good for them! Since Haggard has said that Mike Jones was his ... http://www.whateveriwant.net/http:/www.whateveriwant.net/blog/2008/08/17/sample-post/ Newsweek has a story about a man, Jose Luis de Jesus, who claims to be the second coming of Christ (and the Antichrist, for that matter, all in one).
