The US House (Especially Republicans) want you to lose your tv
The US Senate demonstrated some common sense when they voted unanimously to delay the digital switch over until June 12th. However, the US House got caught up in their never ending gamesmanship and created a scenario where a procedural situation caused the vote to fail.
First I'm against the whole digital thing as everyone I know who has gotten one of these adapters has had problems, and it appears it is really designed to force people to have to pay for service through either a cable or a satellite company. I don't think we should have to pay to get basic television service to be able to access the news and especially to access public broadcasting channels.
Secondly the whole "coupon" program is a farce. My husband, lord only knows why, requested the alloted two coupons quite some time ago, we of course didn't need them yet and the few times he went to "collect" the coupon none of the stores had the adapter. So they expired. You'd think it would be no big deal, since there is verification that the coupons were never used, it would just be a matter of getting new coupons. It doesn't work that way, whether you use them or not, no one for your address can get new coupons. Which is really stupid because let's say for the sake of an example, I kick him out of the house and he had gotten his two adapters. I'd not be able to get my own.
This creates an almost "black market" coupon deal where people who have experienced this then ask people that they know who have cable or satellite to request coupons on their behalf. Which means those who do this, should they ever want to rid themselves of cable, will never be able to get adapters of their own.
Customer service for these adapters is horrid. A friend who has the Acess brand states it makes her tv's hum, she has to call the company then wait for someone to call her back, if you are not home at the time they call back? You have to call in and start the process all over again.
Worse yet, even if the House does get their act together and the mainly Republican problem makers agree to the longer time period, television stations can go digital anyway. Which most of them probably will with the way they've harped on the countdown without cessation.
I'm not buying a box that doesn't work to receive a television signal that tax dollars has gone to create. Which means most likely after February 17th my family will be televisionless along with possibly millions of others who even if they wanted to get the coupons, the program has run out of money for. There's no reason why we should have to replace our television sets that are still working, for something that was pretty pointless to begin with.
Although "yes" votes outnumbered "no" votes by 258 to 168, the vote was held under a set of procedural rules that required a two-thirds majority to pass. Despite the current cuddly non-partisan nicey-nice in Washington, the vote was largely on party lines: 155 Republicans voted against (22 for) and 236 Democrats 236 voted for (13 against).

I call bullshit on Beenie Baby makers
How stupid do they think people are? Michelle Obama disapproves of dolls' likeness to daughters and the company has the nerve to state that they are not naming the two dolls, “Sweet Sasha” and “Marvelous Malia” after the Obamas children and that it's just some strange coincidence that not only did they pick the same names but they made the dolls have dark skin.
I not only agree with the statement released from Michelle Obama, that it was “inappropriate to use young, private citizens for marketing purposes” but I think anyone who buys one or both of these dolls is creepy and is demonstrating they have no respect for their right to exist without being used as some type of a cheap marketing gimmick to get people to buy a product.
It should be up to the Obama family if they want their children's likeness and their names used in that type of a fashion and I hope they have their lawyers step in, before we are hit with the wave of Malia and Sasha products...
The Ty company earns a place in the "asshat" category over this one...
Ty released the 12-inch dolls as part of the company’s “TyGirlz Collection.” The Sasha doll has pigtails and wears a white and pink dress with hearts. The Malia doll has a side ponytail and a long-sleeve shirt with capri pants.
The Oak Brook-based company chose the names because “they are beautiful names,” not because of any resemblance to Malia and Sasha Obama, said spokeswoman Tania Lundeen.
“There’s nothing on the dolls that refers to the Obama girls,” Lundeen said. “It would not be fair to say they are exact replications of these girls. They are not.”

More questions of is it sexism or not and....
Perhaps Palin should start wearing pantsuits with mucklucks as a defense, and if you read some of the comments on Fox more male drooling...As well as creating some moments were I really wonder about our country. A few of the comments from the Fox site that I found pretty out there as some of the more rational people debated whether the photo was sexist or not.
THIS PICTURE IS NOT SEXIST!! THE SYMBOLISM IS VERY CLEAR. IT’S SAYING IF YOU VOTE -MCCAIN- YOU BETTER GRAB YOUR ANKLES!!!
REUTERS CLEARLY FAVOURS OBAMA
(P.S. THE KIDS WEARING A PINK SHIRT-WHAT’S UP WITH THAT?)
WHO TOOK THIS PHOTO? THEY BETTER STOP STARING AT HER ASS AND START DOING THEIR JOB!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THIS WAS OF MICHELLE OBAMA OR MRS BIDEN? THEY WOULD EITHER BE RACIST AND SEXIST OR SEXIST! THE PHOTOG PROBABLY HAS SOME PICTURES TAPED ABOVE HIS BED!
She’s more of a DILF.
WOW…SHE’S SEXY!!
Typical Reuters trash, it doesnt surprise me at all. Maybe they didnt have a lens wide enough to photograph Michelle ODRAMAS big bootwah.
Thank God they never photographed Hill’s kankles. ROFL!!!!!
THATS IT IM GOING TO START EATING ELK
Wouldn’t surprise me if the McCain campagin arranged for the photo to be realesed, and leave it FOX to push it further in an effort to desparately cloud reality (their one true talent) that the campaign is in tatters.
Sarah is needed to jump on my lap!

I don't care anymore...
One of the latest email missives I received taking me to task for my blogging on top of the usual slams and insults, included the statement that my not deciding to support Obama or actively help his campaign by using my blog to do so, proved I just didn't care anymore...Which of course made me think of this musical moment...
I do love Phil Collins...

Sen. Hollis French admits he said things he shouldn't have
It's hard to not make things partisan, evidently too hard for Democrat Hollis French, and now? There are calls for him to step down:
Which means if you read between the lines, French doesn't have a clue as to what the investigation will find, but he wanted to grab his 15 minutes of fame with all of the attention on Alaska...
As an aside, when I headed up to the Anchorage Daily News to see if they were reporting on this (which they weren't yet) I saw this picture. It made me think of the comments made about how Palin's children were not genuine...Looks pretty genuine to me.
Coghill, from North Pole, is on the Alaska Legislature's Legislative Council, the body that appointed French to oversee the investigation. The letter was sent to the council chairman, Sen. Kim Elton, D-Juneau, whom Coghill asks to convene a meeting to discuss whether French should be replaced.
Coghill said the council instructed French, an Anchorage Democrat, to keep politics out of the investigation.
"He just failed that, in my view," Coghill told The Associated Press Saturday.
Coghill wrote in the letter that French was quoted in media reports that the results of the probe were going to be an "October surprise" that is "likely to be damaging to the administration." The comments lead Coghill to believe the investigation is lacking in fairness, neutrality and due process, he wrote.
French said he said some things he probably shouldn't have, but noted that he is not in charge of gathering the facts and writing the report. Prosecutor Stephen Branchflower was hired to conduct the investigation and the integrity of the probe remains intact, he said.
Which means if you read between the lines, French doesn't have a clue as to what the investigation will find, but he wanted to grab his 15 minutes of fame with all of the attention on Alaska...

Some can't afford to leave New Orleans...and we so how low it gets
Shades of Katrina, many report that they can't afford to leave, as CNN reports and others report the traffic jams have already started.
Well, until you watch the video traffic is moving.
As usual, the love that others feel for their fellow man is exhibited on the blogosphere. While some republican commenters hoped it would rain when Obama gave his speech in Denver, evidently not to be outdone, some were wishing for the Hurricane to come so it would interrupt the Republican National Convention.
There are some great (not) people out there:
Yeah, because only Republicans were killed during the last hurricane...People that make comments like that are just as ignorant as the one asshat who likes to harass me on my local blog that suggested my husband's recent car accident was karma.
When you wonder about why our country is in the shape that it is? Perhaps more attention should be turned to people like that, ones so full of hatred that they would make comments like that and not be roundly chastised by others who see their comments. Yes, that goes for Moore too.

Will Hurricane Gustav crash the Republican convention? We can only Hope!
We hate the GOP. We hate what they stand for. They stand for oil. We hope a Cat4 Hurricane wipes out all the oil platforms.
Maybe God is mad at the Republicans for using His name in vain, and has sent a hurricane as punishment?

Why the Hillary sign stays...
There are moments when I think it's time to take down my Hillary Clinton for President sign that's in my front flower box, I of course know that her presidential run is over. The other day when we were doing yard work, I almost took it down and placed it in my garage with my collection of other candidate signs from campaigns past.
Then, one of the neighbors told my husband to tell me I should take it down, that "She lost and she's back in the kitchen where she belongs."
Sure, he was trying to be funny...I'm funny too...Hence? The sign stays right where it is, for him to enjoy every time he sits on his front porch.

Dems Agree to Expand Domestic Spying
Remind me again what it's supposed to mean to be a Democrat? At times I wonder, especially when I read articles like this one from Wired:
But wait...there's more!
Civil Liberties...once a concept now forgotten...
:-)
Breaking months of acrimonious deadlock, House and Senate leaders from both parties have agreed to a bill that gives the nation's spy agencies the power to turn a wide swath of domestic communication companies into intelligence-gathering operations, and that puts an end to court challenges to telecoms such as AT&T that aided the government's secret, five-year warrantless wiretapping program.
Civil liberties proponents quickly blasted the deal.
"The proposed FISA deal is not a compromise; it is a capitulation," said Wisconsin Democratic Senator Russ Feingold, the only senator who voted against the Patriot Act in 2001. "The House and Senate should not be taking up this bill, which effectively guarantees immunity for telecom companies alleged to have participated in the President’s illegal program, and which fails to protect the privacy of law-abiding Americans at home."
But wait...there's more!
The bill itself oddly admits that the government's surveillance activities included more than the previously admitted "Terrorist Surveillance Program." That program, admitted by the president after The New York Times revealed it in December 2005, targeted Americans to intercept their international phone calls and e-mails without getting court approval. In a provision authorizing an oversight investigation, the bill refers to the "President's Surveillance Program," of which the so-called TSP was just one part.
That all but confirms what many have reported and suspected: that there was much more unilateral surveillance than the president or his lawyers have ever admitted.
Civil Liberties...once a concept now forgotten...

Iron my shirt? You have to be kidding me...
Honestly, I would not have believed how idiotic some men are had I not watched the video of one or more yahoo yelling "Iron my shirt" to Hillary Clinton at a public forum. The blantant sexism is disturbing and I can't help but wonder how much larger of a media story this would be if a similar group of yahoos yelled something like "park my car" to one of the other minority presidential candidates. A curtsy to Brietbart.tv for this story.
While this is not going to make me magically a Hillary supporter it has given me something to consider should things change before Ohio...I think those who are trying to imply this was some type of a staged deal by the Clinton campaign are really stretching. Ironic how far people will go to justify their own inaction...
