Reina Hardesty, 13, is reluctant to give her cell phone to dad Greg. Perhaps she fears he'll never give it back. She racked up 14,528 text messages in one month. Fortunately the text messages are free.

If that was my daughter (and I have two), her cell phone would be the last thing on her mind, believe me. As my own mother used to say, the light of day air would become a privilege, if she handed me a $2,300 phone bill.

Looks to me like this is one big joke.

I could be wrong, but he doesn’t look to me like a Palin voter.

Is there any doubt that this will be the result when the government creates "free" programs such as healthcare? Excessive use of a free service, just because it's free.

The retail business where I work used to have free cookies on hand for all the shoppers. We had to discontinue the service because all the retired people would loiter in the store, eating cookies all day.
