WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement on the November jobs report:“Today’s unemployment report is positive news for American families heading into the holiday season but fails to mask the damage President Obama’s policies have inflicted on the U.S. economy.

Tech at Night: FCC victimizes T-Mobile, SOPA in trouble, Google’s Net Neutrality admission?
Remember: One of the victims of the joint Sprint/Justice/FCC Triple Alliance against AT&T is T-Mobile itself.

I don’t understand why they’d only run it once
Last night Rick Perry appeared on the Jay Leno show and this ad ran in Iowa. The campaign announced it would only run once. Perhaps they don’t have the money to keep this ad up in Iowa. But it seems to me the ad strikes the right tone. Frankly, they should have run something like [...]
