What a bunch of crap digital tv is... I open the door and the signal gets lost. I open a window and the signal gets lost. I sit on the couch not moving and the signal gets lost. Or maybe its because the neighbor upstairs moved the wrong way. But what a bunch of crap.
And lets talk sound here, okay? First of all.... what sound!? I have to have the volume turned all the way up to simply hear it in a normal volume. But oh wait... the best is yet to come. When the commercials come on their volume is at full strength. Talk about jarring!!!
And the beeping to let me no there's no signal being received, like I wouldn't know that without the beeping. The beeping on speed.
Is this a conspiracy to get everyone buying cable or satellite service? Who gets the money with this change? I want to follow the money to see who's responsible. Like I could do anything about it.

Republican Scandals
What's up with the Republican party? The party that has all those deeply held convictions about moral issues. So many Republican "scandals" coming out. Right now I'm speaking of the S.C. governor running off for a week to be with his mistress.
This kind of activity is certainly not limited to Republicans. Its a human issue and not a political one... its just that as a general rule, Republicans seem to have a tendency to stand with their noses in the air proclaiming their moral strength and condemning others and all the while they're sneaking in back doors and playing in the dark.
Not to worry. I'm sure there's a Democrat scandal somewhere waiting to be discovered. Its just that the democrates don't seem to be quite as self-rightous.

Hogging all the space
This rant is about expertvillage. #)($*&_#)($&(&$#)(@&#$)*(&%#*&%_(#&$)(#&$
It may be a very helpful site but I refuse to go directly there. Where I and expertvillage collide is on youtube. I have just gone through 4 screens trying to find some good videos on watercolor painting. AND ALL THERE IS ARE SHORT VIDEOS UPLOADED BY EXPERTVILLAGE. If you can't make a damn video longer than a minute and a half, then TAKE SOME DAMN VIDEO LESSONS.
Have you tried to learn something when its cut up into 1 minute segments? It sucks. Their damn short videos suck up all the space!!!!!!!

So Far.... Digital TV SUCKS!!!
It doesn't suck as much as a toothache or an infected sore, but it still sucks. Enough to make me mumble under my breath!
I can't get in about 7 channels. Fortunately, most are programs I would not watch anyway and one that I don't understand... but there are more than a couple that I want to be able to watch.
As my life experiences have increased over the years, so has my level of cynicism. Now I wonder if its really "for our benefit" or just another way of getting more money. And just what we need is another contraption that sucks up electricity 24/7. I don't know about others, but my converter box keeps a light on all the time. Either yellow or green. You know, so I can tell whether its in active mode or not 'cause I'm too stupid to figure it out myself.
One thing it does provide, however, is additional channels so we can be overwhelmed by commercials! Mumble mumble mumble.!

Biological Weapons
I just got finished watching the history of biological weapons... their development, etc. Ohmygawd. I don't need to go into details. I think anyone of a certain age, thus an amount of personal experience, knows governments are not above doing in their own citizens in the name of "good", be it good for the country or good for mankind. (no, I did not vomit as I keyed that in, but I did feel a little sick.)
As I watched how 'testing' was done on animals and uninformed people the term mad cow disease jumped into my thoughts. I wonder if mad-cow disease has any link with these kind of biological origins.

awwww... They got their little feelers hurt, poor babies.
The white political males have apparently been offended by Sonia Sotomayor's (Supreme Court contender) comments that she thinks a Latina woman could make better judgments than a white man. And that's all they could come up with to counter Obama's nominee?!? I think that it, in and of itself, is proof of their so called ability to make good decisions. BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA What a friggin' joke.
I also find myself wondering what the "regular" republicans (the common man, if you will) think about Russ Limbaugh being touted as the spokesperson for the party. Russ and Newt. I could be totally out in left field, but I'm thinking they are embarrassed. On the other hand, maybe not... which is scary.
And speaking of frauds, have you seen ads with Rick Scott who is against single-payer health insurance? His background is very interesting. I heard he headed one of those insurance companies but he had to step down because the company was caught defrauding the government/medicare. Of course he doesn't want a single-payer insurance. BTW, word has it that when he "stepped down" he left with $10 million dollars and $300 million in stocks. Now that punishment should certainly teach him and others a lesson. The lesson that crime doesn't pay.
What a screwed up world we have created. Will we survive it?
