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.

... 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

Bushites. msnbc is about as far the other way as can be imagined. CNN is for the most part down the middle depending on who has the mike at the time. (Except that CNN like the others has their news on a loop, YUP! more RE-RUNS!) How do you re-run the news, doesn't the word "NEWS" have the word "NEW" in it, CNN doesn't. I would guess that's so that you can watch the other networks and not miss what went on 7 hours earlier. (Sure I will)

... Network news is very 'pretty' nice sets, good looking people, nice hair BTW, but nothing unless you count the times you are told to go read it on their website. Hell why would I watch it on TV if I can read it there, and you can't read it there because you can't find it for the commercial ads.

... And don't bother trying to send any of the news media an email, (it's called frustrated search) That's where you bury it so deep that it frustrated the one doing the search and they give up) Just try to find an email address for one of the cable or network news, hell try it for a local station. If you do hang on to it because they move them to make it more difficult the next time.

... Ain't life a bitch.

... I'm sure we had Hurricanes and Tornadoes in my lifetime and I am 60+ Yea I know we did. But I don't ever remember the News Media including Cable news devoting days to it.

... Last night I surfed around the channels to see who was repotting what as I always do. Now I realize that covering the DNC took a lot out of the Men and Women that covered it but I do believe in my hart that there are back up people to cover other things that are important, like who in Hollywood is doing drugs, who they are going to bed with and who is getting a divorce. I guess to some that's the most important.

... The wind in an area that gets big storms far out shadows the war in Iraq, or Afghanistan. Every channel showing George and the Bushites trying to make peace with the fiasco of Katrina, and only because the cameras were watching this time.

... It all made me think, 'wouldn't it be great to have a news media that reported the news that was equally important'. No Experts to tell us what is obvious, no one to show us the way it was intended.

... You see I'm not interested in people that "go back for more" If it's a problem living on the Gulf coast, don't live on the Gulf coast. I know that's to simple. If I lived where a Tornado ripped my neighbors house off it's foundation I wouldn't wait for my turn. If Water was high enough to drown everything in it's path I would buy a boat and get the hell out of there permanently, and before the wind, water and news cameras showed up.

... Think about it. You loose everything and just because it looks nice on a good day it's worth loosing everything all over again.

Get real.

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
store manager just happened to be arranging an end display so I asked if he had any more registers he would open…. His answer,, (like I didn’t know what was coming) was: “Oh we have self service check out, so no one has to wait” Oh Shit now I’m in trouble.

I very politely asked him, “If I use that, will I get a discount?” and “How many folks does that put out of work?” He looked like he had been kicked in the (well you know).
I am always surprised that others don’t ask the questions I do. I handed him the Items and said, “Here, you put them away, I know you must be short on help” You see, I don’t stand in line to spend money, and if others took the same policy we as customers may just be treated a little better. But some Folks don’t mind standing in line like Cattle waiting to be branded..

Oh, the things I was going to buy, I bought on line, they will be here in a couple days.

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!

… I want A President in the White House that leaves the public alone. For those that want to regulate everything but themselves just so they can say: “I did that”, “I helped pass that law” I would hope the prison is not so minimum security, and your cellmate screws you the way you are screwing the public.

… And to those that are promoting this, I mean those that just sit there and say, or do nothing, (about 83%) I hope you like the screwing that we are getting from those that YOU elected. Remember, if laws are passed, it will take many, many, years to get them off the books, if ever!

… If only the intention was for the benefit of the public,, Excuse me while I go puke!

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.



Guess who, big oil would fit well in your answer. Plenty of oil it says. Guess who pays to drill for that oil, You and me!

My questions to those that want to drill for oil off the shore line.

How long before we get oil from the drilling?

How much are we going to have to pay for it?

What is the percentage of the cost of drilling is passed on to the consumers?

Last but not least, who the hell do you think your kidding?

I was borne at night, but not last night. If the oil companies didn't stand to increase their already high profit they would never spend the money to run the ads or pay the bills for congressmen.

TAX the oil companies!

When John McCain says that Off Shore Drilling would help immediately he is a LIAR! Who wrote and paid for that ad, big oil or big oil lobbyist, same thing?

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!

Now two years later when gas doubled in price, people started to curtail their use of gas thinking more about where they were going and why. The large engined pickup trucks are sitting on the dealers lots along side the gas guzzling SUV's. Eight trips to the mall do not seem as important as they once did.

GAS PRICE IS DOWN! The investors that were driving the price up started to see how the general public was reacting to the $$$$$$$$$$$$ Profit of the Mega oil Co. as they (The buying public) decided that food on the table was more important than the 6 trips a day to the local convience store.

Don't fall off the wagon. You still have the power to control price. Don't top off that tank, buy what you need, and just because the gas on one corner is 2 cents cheaper don't fill it up, you waist that much gas waiting in line.

REMEMBER THAT ONLY YOU THE CONSUMER CAN DRIVE PRICE DOWN. DON'T BE STUPID ENOUGH TO FALL INTO A COMPLACENT ATTITUDE THAT IT IS AS LOW AS IT WILL GO.
----------------------------------------------

... Power, You have it, You're just too stupid to use it.

... The price of Gas is directly related to demand. Don't like the price, don't buy Gas. Here come the arguments.

... "I have to go to work" That's one of the few valid reasons.
... "I have to go to the Doctors" OK an other valid reason to drive.
... "I take my kids to school, they won't ride the school bus" They also can't communicate with their peers, look you in the eye when they speak to you and stomp their feet when you don't show up at 3pm because the big bully might say boo. Don't force them to grow up, it might be good for them.
... "I have to pick the baby up at daycare" Leave the brat there you didn't want the brat anyway. That's why others are raising it.
... "I have to get around" And around, and around and around.
... "I only go to the Mall" Several times a week.

... Here in cloudy, sunny, rainy, cold, warm, damp, ugly, beautiful New Jersey Gas is $3.55 a Gallon, I know because I bought $25.00 worth the first of the month. I may buy an other $15.00 by the end of the month. What I don't do is move my car unless it has to move.

... "Oh that does nothing" You're right it doesn't do anything except save me money. If the rest of the Motoring public did the same thing, COST OF GAS WOULD GO DOWN.

... No, YES, it's a commodity. The price is directly related to those that invest in making a profit. They make the profit. You dig deep to run to the Mall.

Sounds pretty stupid don't you!
... Then we can't all claim we didn't vote for George and the Bushites!
---------------------------------------
Fri Feb 10, 2006 5:35 pm

.. I guess it's time to solve the GAS price problem!
Or as a friend put it, "The outrageous profit of the oil companies."
Now let's see what would bring prices down, ( and don't sit there and say it wouldn't work unless you have a better suggestion ) BTW, I will give you space to post a better way.
We Could force the government officials to pay for their own gas. Then let's see if they still want those huge limo's.
Just the suggestion would make most politicians gasp!
We Could just refuse to pay the high prices. Yes I said REFUSE, refuse by going on strike. A strike that has never been tried in the USA. STOP driving for 36 hours. No Mall, No trip to those needed places like the Barber, the Beauty parlor, the local bar, or night club. just imagine, you might have to talk to those that you live with. No work, No school, Nothing but essential services. No miss, those nails are NOT essential.
A strike that would cost State and Federal Government BILLIONS in 36 hours. To make it up they would have to ask the oil company's to share their billion dollar quarterly profit.
It can't work, how would you know? It's never been tried! It's not against the law to just stay home for 36 hours.
Now every one will say that People will bay gas the day before, or the day after. Correct, but the loss of revenue to the States, and Fed. cannot be made up.
I do believe I read some place, "A government for the People, and by the People" now with that in mind, no one else is doing it for us.

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.

... Now Europe has a new threat, but first remember this one has Nukes. Russia! Be afraid, be very afraid, Putin is no less a Hitler, no less the nut with world domination in mind.

... Do not become so complacent in your McManchion or SUV that you allow this to happen.

... But what can I do? Vote you silly ass. Write letters, put up a website do anything you must to tell the powers that be THIS CONNOTE HAPPEN AGAIN!

... This is not a political comment it is however a plea to make sure that the Holocaust is not a precursor to Nuclear devastation.

==========================
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.

No longer do we vote on the best man (or woman) for the job, but we are subjected to those that can win, or run a good campaign.

We are brainwashed, and beaten into believing WE pick the candidate. We do not. They are picked for us by those that have an agenda that we may not agree with. The news media has a great deal to do with this, but the People of the USA tolerate it, Welcome it, because it is much easier than thinking for themselves..
Think I am wrong. Ask the ‘Experts’ they will be on the evening news to explain what you need to know, To tell you what was said, and adjust it so you will understand who to believe and who to ignore.
No longer is it just entertainment to listen to a comedian, It seems to be where the pulse of the voters is registered. Get a laugh, Get Elected. The Joke is on US.
