ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (Reuters) -- President Bush on Friday urged that affordable high-speed Internet access known as broadband be available to all Americans by 2007.

"We ought to have universal, affordable access to broadband technology by the year 2007," Bush said in a speech focusing mostly on homeownership. "And then we ought to make sure that as soon as possible thereafter consumers have plenty of choices..."

He also said that if he is reelected, everyone in America gets a single-serving jello pudding snack!

I think a free biscuit would be the best incentive for any God-fearing Love-hugging American.

Cheerio!

That's it, I'm moving to America. Stupid Prime Minister and his lack of cheap internet policies.

[WalrusOfPlastic]

Wow. You think all of Canada will drain down into America by 2007?

That would be inconvenient.

This is if Bush is telling the truth. If his past of telling the truth less than 0% of the time is any indicator this is not really cause to move to the States just yet. I have a funny feeling that this broadband policy is much akin to his going to Mars policy. In other words: it ain't gonna happen.

But, it's fun to make promises that you don't have to keep! What a simple way to get re-elected!

wow, what's he going to promise closer to the election? a girlfriend for each of us undateable computer geeks?

Don't forget to allow the Jedi religion to be accepted as a "real" religion. Surely this would go a long way to helping his pitiful cause. With any luck God would then blast him from the face of the earth.
