Oh, you didn't need to feel sorry, for me.  Just pissed off, at the other guy.

We don't even get told what channel to change it to, if there's a warning.    I swear, our EAS is a malfunctioning piece of crap, because not only does THAT rarely work, but neither do our sirens.     I either have to have it on TWC, a local station, or have my weather radio on to know about any kind of warning.  Not saying that that's a bad thing, but I rarely have all three on, these days.  If there's something big and unexpected moving in the area, I kind of like to know about it.

I saw WoF!     That's like, one of my favorite shows, evar.  I love the glittery $1mil wedge, and I liked Pat Sajak's crack on how he made it the night before, in his basement.

This guy ripped my Patrick O'Hearn video, and uploaded it under HIS name.  He didn't give me credit, nor did he say where he got it.  He even has MY video saved under his favorites, and he still ripped it! 

I sent him a message, letting him know what will happen, if he doesn't take it down.  Could you guys, please, back me up and do the same?

Mine's the exact opposite; we get the EAS noises, and the audio feed for the severe weather, but nothing visual.

Gas over here is back down to $3.45.  Why is gas going back down, anyway?  I thought it was supposed to be going back up?

Now they are making a fuss that Palin's 17 year old daughter is pregnant.  Who cares :Rolleyes:  It'd be different if she's having an abortion, but she's not, so they should just lay off, and not bring it into the campaign.

People care because of the hypocrisy factor.  If conservatives didn't try to shove family values, abstinance only, no sex before marriage bull crap down our throats, it wouldn't be such a big deal.  But since Palin can't even keep her own family under control, then people are ripping her a new one.

There're a lot of things I've heard about Palin.  She's sexist, racist, she left the town she used to be mayor of in economic ruin... there were only FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE IN THE TOWN!!!!!!  Including her family!  HOW do you put a town of five thousand in economic ruin?!   

... Yeah.  I don't like her.
