   which US Senator can I thank for the latest system software update to my iPhone.

   Apples probably fall under the Agriculture Committee jurisdiction. (ba-dum-chhh)

   This, not racism nor sexism, is the real test of the political media spectrum. Will the media peg this on McCain the way they pegged the internet thing on Al Gore.

   And the pun is intended with the term “pegged” if you know what I mean

   Actually it’s Canada’s Commerce Committee Chairman, again. He really bangs out quality iPhone apps.

   Talk about teeing it up for the Dem candidate:

   My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark.

   The media (blogs included) are wrongly distorting the comments of McCain’s aide (not even McCain) in the same way that Gore’s comment about the Internet were wrongly distorted. This is not a good thing. It’s misleading in the same way that McCain’s attack ads are misleading. Why are people doing this?

    Considering how well the 2.1 upgrade went, I’m guessing that Dubya is somehow responsible.

    “which US Senator can I thank for the latest system software update to my iPhone.”

    Ironically* enough, Al Gore.

    * irony content not guaranteed.

    Why are people doing this?

    It’s called fighting fire with fire. I’d love to see a campaign about nothing but issues. The Republicans have shown they’ll never let this happen. So we have to join them in the mud or lose. What is so hard to understand about that?

    And, in any event, until you see a steady steam of news stories about McCain each of which introduces him as the man who claimed to have invented the Blackberry, we won’t be in a situation even remotely resembling the Al Gore/Internet thing.

    If McCain gets credit for the Blackberry, do I also get to blame him for the lousy state of US broadband, especially to more rural areas, such that I can’t get more than 80 kb/s in North Bend, WA, and my ping sucks when I try to play Quake? ’cause, seriously, telecommunications policy is a voting issue for me.

    A big part of what makes the iPhone so hot is not its transcendent awesomeness, but the fact that it’s the coolest device in recent memory for which Americans didn’t have to go to Finland or Japan to own one first.

    John McCain supports a regulatory regime that values protecting the entrenched oligopoly over promoting innovative competition. Therefore, I think McCain deserves full credit that the Blackberry is a Canadian invention, that European smart phones are a year ahead of the American market, that South Korean cellular broadband is faster than much American land-line “broadband,” that Verizon finds it profitable to gimp their phones’ built-in features and charge extra to add them back piecemeal, and that Apple finds it profitable to gimp its iPhones to only run on AT&T.
