The old TV fritzed out. Now there's another one, and when the digital converter box works properly, some stations are available. Watched in black and white, with fuzzy red and blue lines on the right and left sides of the screen. Speaking of red and blue...
Last night an author on Charlie Rose's show was talking about his disappointment with the president. I am beginning to think it's possible that people use the phrase "another Vietnam" way too much. Think, how can it really be "another Vietnam?" Both seemed quite unhappy with the administration for being too accomodating to Republicans and tea-partyers in regard to the health care bill. However, didn't they also have to be accomodating to Democrats who wanted to try to please their constituents in order to pass anything at all? Sigh. And some commentator on the radio, a former speech writer for Bush, says that he's going to vote as a staunch Republican in spite of tea party craziness because the president is so ineffective. Essentially, they all seemed to be saying the same thing, which is how very, very disappointed they all are. A big old clod of depresso.
I think that requiring people with "pre-existing conditions" to go uninsured for a 6 months before they qualify for anything is inhumane. Because, how much sicker can a person get in 6 months? How is that a good thing? And no, it doesn't matter to me that people in the 1800s and before got along without health insurance. I don't want to go back in time and throw a bunch of tea in a harbor, and this is the 21st century.
On a slightly different note, I see that a friend of a friend has an interesting take on the greening of oil companies' ad campaigns.

How odd. Now TV number 2 is doing the same on/off flicking stuff the first one did. Perhaps there is an epidemic circulating amongst old TVs.
