   There I was, losing in a battle of insomnia, so I decided to flip
around the ol' tube to see if there was anything on at 2:30am other
than those "Call me, I'm waiting to ..." 900 ads splattered all over
the place. Lo and behold, on the Home Shopping Club, there's an ad
enticing members (and non-members, it's easy to join, just ..) to sign
up for MCI and get $10 in Spendable Ka$h to boot.

   So MCI's got a contract with them now? Interesting way to drum up
business -- I can imagine those thousands (millions? nah, I have more
faith in America, don't know why, but I do) of people dialing up and
changing their long distance service the same time they get that
really GREAT cubic zirconia 94 caret ring (with gold inlay in a custom
setting). Kinda strange, isn't it?
