I've been reading your posts here for the last several weeks, but I don't believe I've ever seen your act before. Which is strange because I'm always looking for new comedians.

That was funny! Give us more!

By the way, I paid for my converter box with my own money, although I was tempted to use the coupon because (a) my budget's tight, and (b) we're already living in ObamaNation, soon to be "Venezuela del Norte," where the government will be owning and/or running everything anyway.

Now that I have the converter box, apparently I have a choice between (a) using it and getting my regular tv stations, or (b) using my VCR/DVD player. Apparently it can't do both.

Thanks.

I love it how I'm classified as "Blue Collar." Heck, I use bigger words than most of the hosts on Air America!

Hey, I heard some of your act on Blue Collar Radio on XM yesterday–awesome!

Actually elderly people who don't think it's worth it to "pay" for TV when it's "free" over the air are affected. Like my husband's mom who's in her '90s now. Back in the '70s she subscribed to cable for awhile, and didn't like it that she had to pay for all channels, rather then picking the few she liked and jettisoning the rest. Just that upset her to the point she didn't think paying for cable and better reception of local channels was worth it. So she unsubscribed, and had been happy for decades, 'til now. She's a good lady. But is a child of the Great Depression.

I might buy the only-one-set-of-keys-manufactured theory, but I have a hard time accepting the back seat idea. I've never once been in the car, and pulled up to an ATM so the person in the back seat could use it. (The safety windows in the back seats of cars make it nearly impossible.)

It has always been my opinion that those braille keys were just an outgrowth of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the same kind of bureaucratic nonsense that requires wheelchair ramps outside of Ski Shops.

Regardless, the possibility that a few people MIGHT use the braille keys, does not degrade my metaphor, because I'm certain that there are a couple of computer geeks, who didn't know about the transition. They are still both equally useless

" Digital TV is suddenly a must have Gaia-given right for everyone–especially the poor and uneducated. "

Great point! Because without television, those same people won't know when it's time to go out and vote.

And we know that the Democrat is the overwhelming preference of the uneducated.

Another waste of taxpayers money!

The coupon thing was thought up when the nation was running a deficit. Why not make a payment on the deficit, instead of wasting the money on the coupons? For that matter, why not sell off non-performing assets, like the Post Office, and the National Parks, and use that money for deficit reduction?
