They've Done It Again

Congress. They've done it again. You know... the politicians who claim to be looking out for our good. They defeated the bill that would allow unemployment benefits to be extended, cause everyone knows you don't give money to poor people. They just waste it on food. Then they repealed the bill that reduced the fees doctors could charge patients and we all know how much doctors need money. After all, those malpractice insurance premiums cost a pretty penny. (No need to stop the malpractice and get rid of the incompetent doctors... just buy more insurance.)

And don't get me started on the Bush/Cheney war. We're in year nine, I believe, going on ten. Ten years of war. Mission accomplished.

Bing Crap

What's up with MSN and Bing? They must have a thing goin' on... or sumpin. I see a headline on MSN's home page that I'd like to read so I click on the link and what do I get? I get a damn Bing search result page. WTF is that about? If I wanted to search I would have personally put in a search key in a search engine of my choise. If I want to read something and I click on a hot link.... I DON'T EXPECT TO GO TO ANOTHER SEARCH PAGE!

Yes, I am sometimes ungrateful. Why do you ask?

Bottom line, I won't be doing much clicking on headlines on msn.com since it will, no doubt, take me to another search engine. I will go directly to a search engine of MY CHOICE and key in the search key. I don't need yet another level of advertising. In fact I think I'm going to change my homepage from msn.com to something else.

So there!

BravoTv Sucks

What a bunch of tease and for what?

I'm cranky today and BravoTV isn't helping. It was my understanding that one could watch their programs on their web site. Apparently that's not true. Gasp. Its not true? But they said!

I just went to watch the second episode of Work of Art but all they have up is the first episode. Well, Dove.... I won't be watching any of your ads because, you know, I've already seen the first episode. How much money did you pay to have your ads viewed?

And I almost felt like buying some Dove soap the next time I need some. Now I'm not so sure, because,...well, because I'm crusty and I'm cranky. Two bad combinations.

PS...I'm still cranky. I've just been to the site again and disappointment prevails. Even when I click on "watch the photos", only four show up. Example, watch Miles pick his junk 1 - 17 photos. It goes to four and stops. I may not be making sense and its probably just as well since I'm cranky. Not to worry. No more comments about Work of Art. Why, you may ask.... because I can't watch the show. If its not on their web site, then too bad for me. I'm shit out of luck.
