T.V. and Cable

So now they want to charge extra for television channels that we have been getting free for ever. I guess it would make sense if they had anything worth watching, or if they could show the content of cable after a certain time. The laugh-track crap they pay all that money for isn't worth a squat. If prices continue to outpace my income, well I don't watch a lot of t.v. now, I am sure I could cancel cable. I for one am getting sick of being held hostage by these companies. 100 channels of crap and maybe 10 actually worth having. What would you companies do if people boycott your product for a few months to a year. Nothing wrong with a little civil disobedience. LONG LIVE PEOPLE CHOICE!

Best Buy Ad for12/13 thru 12/19

It was nice of Best Buy to recognize Hanukkah on the front of their ad paper. Not a mention of any other holiday that may be here or going to happen before the next ad paper comes out. Thank you Best Buy. Get your head out of your ass!

I am not against religion, but recognize all!

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan

So disgraced, murderer Maj. Hasan is crying because he claims the military won't let him pray in Arabic with his family. BOOHOO! Did he give his victims a chance to pray? Did he give them a chance to say goodbyes? As far as I recall Religion has no place in the courts. Hasan gave up his freedoms when he started pulling the trigger. So what kinda crap is his attorney trying to pull? Galligan is trying for what? Does he think it will create a dismissal? The people that were murdered are the victims and these 2 clowns are trying to say that Hasan is a victim. He created what happened and now he wants sympathy? Don't think its gonna happen. Get your head out of your ass!

Gitmo Prisoners

WOW! Governor Grabmoney dropped the ball again. Michigan couldn't even put up 1oo prisoners from Gitmo. More money going to another State while you continue to put people out of work. What's next on your list? Right, your high priority on putting deposit money on bottled water and juices. Or is it to figure out a new tax the Unemployment State can pick up for you? Just because some of us have decided to stay in the Unemployment State don't mean you have to penalize us for that choice. Go after the people and businesses that left the Unemployment State and leave the rest of us alone.

On the news

I was watching a segment on the local news this morning. They were talking about all the tech jobs available across the river in Canada. Which I thought was pretty good. But the comment made by one of the people in the interview really threw me for a loop, or just wonder if this is the way Canadiens think. This is what was said,"I only hire people with a college degree. They are the only one's that are versatile and easy to trane."

I think we have another candidate for the Head Up His Ass Award. I wish I could have caught the name of the company and this ass clowns name. I can truly only speak for myself, but when I started working in Nuclear Power Facilities, when I was 18 and no college degree, I worked my way up to a supervisor spot in less than 10 years. When I left Nuclear work and went to the Automotive Industry, I went from no idea to assembly technician to machine operator to a job setter. Still no college degree.

If only people with college degrees are so versatile and easy to trane, then why are they in the same mess as those of us that didn't get a college degree? We all adapt to our environment. If we don't we die. Unless, maybe if your Canadien.

Smoking in Michigan

As I am sure, well if you care, the smoking ban was voted in. The idiots in Lansing have put a few more nails in the coffins of the smaller bars. Yet they excuse the freaking money stealing casinos. So come May 1, 2010 is the day our elected idiots cut some more businesses out of the big picture.

My youngest daughter, who by the way doesn't smoke, said"Do them morons realize what they are doing to this state? The economy sux and they want to keep people from the bowling alleys, bars and other places they go and spend money."

Well glory be! We have one of the highest taxes on tobacco and now we can't even smoke! All I can say is that you have added another nail.

Michigan SUX

It seems like once again the Michigan Anti-Trust wants to screw with more stuff. They can't balance a budget. They can't keep jobs in this state. They can't vote down a pay raise. What can they do? They want to join the trend of No Smoking in the work place. But they want to exempt Casinos and Smoking Lounges. What sense does this make? About as much sense as having Govenor Grab Money in office. It should be ALL or NONE! Leave it to the business owners discretion. Government is already exceding its power and authority.

When I worked at one of the so called Big Three, they had a no smoking policy. What a joke! Considering they did nothing to improve the air quality. Half the time you couldn't see down the aisleways because of the coolant and metal dust. The coolant pits reeked, but, hey NO SMOKING in the plant.

With the state of the economy in Michigan at this moment I feel Govenor Grab Money has bigger issues. Unemployment at an all time high. Peoples insurance running out. Foreclosures up the ying yang. People getting robbed and murdered. Suicides and homicides because of people loosing everything they worked so hard for.

But no, let us raise taxes and ban smoking in the work place. My God! Get your heads out of your asses and do something right for a change. CHANGE FOR THE RIGHT!
