Fiberoptic maybe unnecessary.
Thom suggested that fiberoptic cable be laid whenever freeway construction/repair is done. I don't know if the information is accurate, but I heard or read somewhere that cable is only needed the last 500 or however many feet from a hub to residences and businesses; everything else is done wireless or satellite so long runs of cable are unnecessary.

My mom was recently surprised to be in a room of mostly liberal CFPs, including herself. They're more common than you think.

From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
Cruz vs. McCarthy
I thought it was just me, but a week ago I noticed that there is a resemblence of Ted Cruz to Joe McCarthy.
