Television today.
Re-Run, Re-Run, Re-Run, Re-Run, Re-Run, Re-Run, Re-Run, Re-Run, Trash, Trash, Trash.
Even the Cable news is a Re-Run. CNN is a loop, at a specific time CNN starts re-running the days news, or what they call news. BTW that's no more than a slice of a story, and 6 panel members to explain what you just saw and how to understand it.
DUH! If their so good at what they do why are they not running the country, surely they could do a better job than those they are explaining.
My TV gets turned on at 6 pm. First the local news. But if I want the entire story I am told to go to their website. Hell if I wanted to read the news on the web it wouldn't be their site, I would read it where they get it and not be subjected to all the advertising.
Next it's world news. Very little, all of that is on the web as well, they do the leads but if you want more go read it, they don't have time to put it on it would get in the way of the Experts.
At 7pm I push the mute button on the east coast, I'm not interested in the whores and slut's hour. And because I don't have any small children to be taught that it's OK to look like a pimp or hooker, it stays muted until 8pm.
Around 8 I turn the sound back on, grab the remote and check to see if some idiot programmer screwed up and put something new on. Most of the time it's no such luck. If it's a cable channel like the History channel or the Discovery channel you can almost bet it's a loop that played this time last year, and the year before. It might be about Sharks but that's been running for 4 years, the same loop. Such is the case with the UFO week, or is that year, no matter it's just an other re-run. Then there's the cages being lowered into the water for the 9,000Th time and pulled back up with uncooked crab. Cook it put it on my plate now I'm interested. And I keep missing, maybe hoping all the crew, the camera crew would fall overboard, talk about irony!
ABC, CBS, and NBC all cater to the group that uses the TV as background noise, they don't sit and watch, of course you can't blame them there is nothing to watch, more re-runs, Trailer trash running around on an island in some remote place because the first "Reality" show had good ratings. Perhaps the programmer should have looked to see what was opposite the first one. That has more to do with ratings than how good or bad a show is, most of them are just raw stupidity. Now and then one of the wizz kids on the 'reality' show gets hurt by really being as stupid as the show it's self, but who was watching. It was on Utube the next day.
Game shows in primetime, great background noise. Those models have suitcases, put em' on a train, they won't be missed. CSI Miami, with a drama queen as the lead, he didn't make it on NYBlue, get an actor, stop shooting through the pretty glass, kill off all the stupid effects and tell the story, or is that all you have.
Here's a tip for the viewing public. Get a remote, start Monday, and hold down the forward key starting at 8Pm, continue that every night for one week and you will NOT miss a thing. Because for the five day cycle you will past the same innocuous trash every night.
I watch it all. at least 10 seconds of everything on 30 channels. I'd get more channels but then I would just be getting more trash more re-runs, more melodramatics, more of the same crap.
Well I must go, it's 6pm time to see if the person at the controls screwed up and put something on worth watching. Now that's entertainment.

( 3.3 / 31 )Life as a re-run, or is that TV
... Before 8 years ago I only watched TV if I were in someone else's home and it was on. Then I stared at it like the other idiots in the room, oblivious to what was going on in the small screen.
... Visiting friends that constantly complained about their electric bill, too stupid to realize that the 7 TV sets in the house were all on and no one was paying any attention. And BTW that little box burns almost as much electric when turned off (no picture stupid) as it does when the 300th re-run of Smokey and the Bandit is on in the Bathroom, Den, Kitchen, Garage, Bedrooms (Yes that's an S it means more than one)
... Eight years ago I was diagnosed with cancer and now spend much of my time in the house. After about a year and chemo, a heart attach, and an ulcer(No doubt because of the 700th running of Titanic) I turned the damn thing off and left it off.
... With the Election and the uniqueness of it I have tried to follow it on the cable news. Don't waste time, fox is pro George and the

( 2.9 / 18 )Ain’t technology Grand!
I’ll preface this by saying I think that ‘Corporate America’ (or is that china) has the Wright to make as much money as they like, want, or need. But not at the cost of the Employee’s, or the Customers that support them. .
I went into the local HomeDepot, after picking up a few things I headed toward the register, of course only one(1) open,, 5 people that looked like they could kill a puppy were standing in line. The

( 3.1 / 14 )Government & Regulate, All in the Same Sentence?

Government & Regulate, All in the Same Sentence?
… Are you joking? The Federal Government has decided it wants to regulate the Internet. Now I find that amusing if only because the Federal Government can not regulate it’s self.
… Every day we are finding out that an other Senator, or Congressman is a croaked S-O-B, padding His or Her way through their term. Yet there are no REGULATIONS that stop the croaked bastard from receiving a Pension even when they are convicted.
… Senator lightfingers, steals for 20 years, gets put on a Golf course(Oh that’s not correct, it’s a minimum security prison) (( GET REAL)) for 6 months, and still gets paid by the Government, and at age 65 still gets a Social Security check. Are You Shitting me!
You try it. His friends, Mrs. Snatchit Quick, and Mr. Grab Abunch Esq, Can’t keep their mind off the trips to a Skiing resort, and they want to regulate the Internet!

Snake Oil Sales !
Shades of wonder.
I just saw an advertisement on TV that said we have plenty of oil. I believe that ad. I also believe in taxing the folks behind that ad.

You have the power.
Several years ago I posted for the first time on many web sites that the American people had the power to reduce gas prices.
You don't like the price of gas, don't buy it was the theme.
... The original post is at the bottom of this rant!

Be aware of the past.
... In 1937 Adolph Hitler invaded Poland to reclaim the German Heartland, in effect to re-unite the German people. Don't stop there, this is not about the German people, it is said to remind those that have forgotten, It started world war II in Europe.

==========================
Or as it is better know in the political world, Democrats and Republicans.
Although we have the best government in the world, it has become a fight to see what side of the isle can win. Not what is best for the Country. If the Democrats vote for it, the Republicans vote against it. And the reverse is true as well. Politicians are elected by ‘Poll’ rather than ability. Popularity is more important than knowledge. Campaign is measured more thoroughly than performance. Negativity has far out paced intention.
