500th post

on the news tonight, the anchor mentioned that in feb 2009 all broadcast television will be digital and that the government is providing up to $40 rebates to folks who need to purchase converter boxes for their analog televisions.

okay, firstly, kids -- do you remember who the govt is? that's right - it is us. you, me, we are the govt. that means we are paying up to $40 for these analog goobers to get converter boxes for their rabbit ear television sets.

secondly, kids -- when is the last time you saw a rabbit ear television that is in any kind of shape at all? do they even still sell those sets? will any of them still be operational in feb 2009? b/c all these jokers are going to be applying for their $40s at my expense and then going out & getting new digivision sets.

kids -- we are getting rooked. again.
