Digital or Bust

just a brief word about the Digital TV conversion in Feb 2009......... RAPE

Here is the link for the FAQ's re: the mandatory conversion to digital, that will take place in Feb '09

http://www.dtv.gov/consumercorner.html#faq1

In a nutshell it says...that if you have over the air TV now.....that means, if you use an antenna or rabbit ears.......you will need to convert to digital by the conversion date....if you alreay have cable or sat....your cable or Sat company will be all digital by then...oh you say but they already offer digital...you are correct.....and this mandate by the FCC says that YOU WILL subscribe to one of those digital packages offered by your cable or Sat company on or by the conversion date.....WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT......

Or yet another way to look at it is.....if you want to watch TV, you will pay what the Cable or Sat company wants to charge you....or get ready to watch a lot of nothing....that's right...they are in control and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it......or is there????????

I'm sure there are some enterprising young minds out there who could come up with a way to bypass those digital boxes.......and get the feeds for free....what's that you say, it's stealing...au contraire...the signal is out there for anyone to intercept.....it's just that the Cable and Sat companies have the money to harness it and bring it into your home...but if you the consumer...found a way to harness it also, well, you would be just like the cable and sat companies......I for one will be preusing the Net for these methods.....hello Gov't...you cannot make me pay to watch TV...you may TRY to make me pay but unless you are going to come to my abode and steal my hard earned cah, it won't happen, if I can help it

Now some of you are probably saying, "I get digital now, and it's not that expensive"..oh really....50+ dollars a month isn't expensive NOW but just think back to when Cable and igital started, how much did it cost.....do you really think the price is going to remain where it is now once Feb '09 rolls around? Oh but Tom, the Gov't will control pricing....DOH!!! who do you thing is caving to the Cable and Sat companies NOW for this bogus conversion....think about it.....

Hey I'm Back

I know, I know...where the hell have I been....well, I've been preoccupied helping a friend move.....not a good enough excuse.....tough, deal with it :)

Anywho, I've heard from a couple of you all saying that you would prefer to get the words of wisdom from me thru email.....geez, how fucking lazy can ya be.....just save the website on your desktop and then you can just click on it....do you need someone to work the mouse for ya too? But for those of you too lazy to go to the site, relax, here I am invading your email space.

So what is new...well, in case you folks don't keep up on the news from this area, we had a murder recently of a 15 year old girl by her 24 year old cousin. The girls parents took their nephew in to help him out and HOW does her repay that favor......yep, by strangling his cousin AND hiding the body in the basement......and NJ did away with the death penalty...thanks Corzine.....now, once this waste of air is convicted, WE, the taxpayers, will keep him alive....geez it would be nice if we could keep the girl alive by paying our taxes but we can't because of this asshole....very strange, don't ya think.

Let's see what else, well we almost celebrated the 5 year anniversary of the Iraq war AND the 4000th american death in Iraq on the same date, just missed each other...and trust me, that 4000th death is not a celebration....good thing we got rid of Sadam...that fixed everything.....hey George W, when you signing up them girls of yours.....yeah right

Well I guess that's enough for you all for now, hope that appeases the Blog Gods

Peace Out.

Govs, hookers and Toilet Seats

So our little Hooker, that Sptizer ...well "hooked" up with, is just a little ole NJ gal...and from right around the corner in Belmar.....ahh the Jersey Shore...sand, sun...and REAL FUN...alas, she went on to bigger and better plans....but I say good for her....she was working...although, I for one don't see that as work....moreso....a job you gotta love over and over an over...well, you get the picture.....ok....I'll be a bit sexist here...just cause I know some people would love to debate this...BUT..how many of you guys would mind having this type of job..."oh pleae, don't make me do that again".....I thought so....I know ladies, it's different for guys...and we men sure are glad :)

Now for something completely different (Monty Pythonish)....there was this lady, in Kansas..which happens to be where my cousin is residing...hmmm...anywho, this lady sat on her boyfriends toilet for 2 years.....yes, you heard right 2 friggin years....now, here's the deal.....again, sexist if you want......Guys, how many of you have had that certain meal, topped off by mass quantities of beer...you know the meal that demands you use the bathroom 1st and I mean 1st thing in the AM. And then.....you wait and sit...cause it's going to be a while before you get up off that seat......and the longer you sit, the more numb your legs get......well imagine that for 2 years...and then, her skin had grown around the seat so it had to be surgically removed.....holy "crap" :) And her boyfriend says he tried to convince her to leave the bathroom but she wouldn't.....now to the interesting part....if you HAVE seen the story, did you see the exquisite trailer they were living in.....it looks like a 1 bathroom place...so my question is for the boyfriend...DUDE, WTF???? I mean where did you do your business if your darling, and I'm assuming she is 1 purty girl, was occupying your only toilet for 2 years....but of course, if you've seen the trailer and it's surrounding local, you just know there has to be an outhouse close by...these folks were living the good life that's fur shure.....yee haa

Well, that's it for now, enjoy your Friday.

Client #9

So many subjects, so little time

Let's just dive right in, Elliot Spitzer.....what can ya say....hey Gov, it's illegal to hire a hooker......if you needed me to tell you that, maybe you should be sharing some of that big money they give ya for being the Gov. I mean, c'mon dude.....you were in Washington, GW's town...what made you think you WEREN'T being bugged....tsk.....well, at least ya didn't get caught with your pants around your ankles....and boy did your wife looked pissed....I sure wouldn't want to be you for a long while...that biatch is gonna have your testicles on a platter

ok, enough about Elliot...on to vomiting...now, when you read that didn't you go ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....so you know how I felt when this show about Interventions was dealing with this Buelemic (yes, I know, it's probably mispelled) chick....the show is about Intervention...not puking, yet, we just had to see how this whacko purged....about a gazillion times...hey, TV show people, no one wants to see some skinny ass chick puking....yeah, we all know what it entails and we don't need to see it on TV...tell me why she does it, what contributes to it and all the crap that brought it about and anything else...but if you think watching someone leaning over the bowl puking is entertainment...well, I guess that's why we have the shit for shows we have now.

Bruce who?

If you are a Springsteen fan, you may not appreciate this

Last night, I was flipping channels and came across a Roy Orbison special....now, I wasn't a BIG fan, and still am not, of Orbisons but felt compelled to watch it cause it was in Black and White...which I believe was part of the title...it was a semi tribute with Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, KD Lang, Sprigsteen and others, accompanying Orbison, doing his songs. Now, I AM a fan of Costello and Lang...so I settled in to watch....

So, they did the usual, lyrics and some solo leads....what amused me is when they would go to Springsteen, for a "lead riff" he looked like a deer in the headlights....after others performed their solo bits with flourish, Sprigsteen could barely manage a decent riff, worthy of a good musician....but yet, he was all about forcing his way onto Orbisons place, on stage, like it was his concert.....Hey Bruce, you are not the one they are honoring and you aren't in the same catagory as Orbison so sit down in the corner and strum...what an annoying asshole he was....oh, and I have always questioned his guitar abiltiies and this show, helped to strengthen that belief....what a poser

Oh, I know some of you folks treasure the boy from Freehold....well, I'll give you this, Brucie did manage some "decent" lyrics way back in the day...but now he's a 2nd rate performer at best....sorry,I know some of you fancy yourselves music experts...and can spout how one artists lyrics are the best ever...or have been to every concert of another artist and fancy yourself an expert, that no one can refute...I get all that hype...but I know what I like and enjoy and Springsteen's time has come and gone, so...let's hope there is another "wonder" coming out of NJ soon...cause this ship has sailed.

A bonus and then some

Well, if you never thought about how corrupt some Gov't agencies were, you won't believe this.

Since I couldn't find the article to copy and paste, here is the short version of an article printed in the Asbury Park Press today.

It seems that "5 months after returning from a 60-day unpaid suspension for giving no-bid contracts to a boyfriend, municipal Housing Authority chief Mary Jo Grauso was awarded a $4,000 bonus Tuesday on top of the standard 3 percent raise"
"Authority commissioners defended the raise and bonus..."

Ok, this stinks so bad it makes the Landfill on Staten Island smell good, no offense to Staten Island....can you believe this...I mean, ok, I'm all for giving folks a raise, even though I'm sure there was a major ethics violation here, and nothing short of possible criminal activity...BUT, to throw a bonus to someone who, at the least, violated something strong enough to warrant a 60 day suspension?????

There needs to be an investigation into this and I hope the State Attorney General has been appraised of this situation and is starting the wheels to get to the bottom of this fiasco. If it is found that the commissioners violated any laws or ethics, at the least, they should be removed from their positions immediately....

Baseball and all that crap

Ok, let's discuss this Roger Clemens fiasco

1st of all, if he did take these steroids he obviously wasn't as good as was thought...so he should be kicked out of baseball. Along with Barry Bonds who should b stripped of any achievements he completed while using these enhancements....they are not of the same caliber as the other players who didn't see the need to enhance their performance with substances.

Now the main part of my rant....the FBI is starting an investigation as to whether Clemens lied to the Gov't......WTF? How much money are we wasting finding out if some lameass baseball player lied...it's only friggin baseball...it's a sport that has run it's course...it is no longer Americas Pastime, that is now Football....I mean c'mon....do we need to waste the resources of the FBI on this? Just send it down to a trivial little lower court, which is where it belongs considering the subject and let it be...if they find him guilty, who cares...it's not worth the time and money....and recognition , it is getting from the media...Roger Clemens is a has been, now let's move on to something that matters.
