The Television is a snare, a constant bombardment of mind altering signals.

Images and thoughts designed to weaken our resolve

A killer of time

Fattened up for the slaughter? Sheeple to serve the Corporate sponsors?.

RESIST the Television.

Being able to Resist is our safeguard.

IMHO Sitting in front of the boob tube, destroyed our neighborly spirit.

To the imbed Lord, the image had none of the ends you spoke of before .... .(jpg or .gif or .png.)so I couldnt get it to work.

Is this a differnt application than you suggested the last time?

Flash !!!

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you this ongoing news update !!!

So what part of the car chase don't you get there Liz? It's the news on the boob-tube and in the printed media as well as the programming advertizing sponsors believe the public should be watching and enjoying.

So I have to ask ... why would you watch such a program in the first place?

Could it be there's not that much intellectually entertaining to view? So doesn't that imply the public is being fattened up with frivolous programming of no apparent value to soften their resistance when things go from bad to worst? Just another boring TV program may translate into just another constitutional right the Congress usurps and everyone looks to change the channel instead of sitting up, taking notice and taking action. Perhaps there's a pycho ops element at play on public entertainment.

BTW, the tickle fairy is now a gang member ... he belongs to that international terrorist group called Terrible Two's and is already a master at to bullying his way.

Until just a short while ago,

Until just a short while ago, I didn't know Habitat for Humanity was a worldwide organization. I thought it was just inside the U.S.

Yeah, one of those "building blitz" things HfH do would be an interesting show to watch.

Extreme Makeover, hosted by Ty Pennington, at least in the episodes I've seen, finds struggling people living in a shack and builds them garish, unsustainable McMansions. And later you find out those people are in foreclosure, or are forced to sell the white elephant they can't afford to keep up.

I vastly prefer the Holmes on Homes approach. Holmes mercilessly rips out and replaces whatever was put in wrong, but keeps to a reasonable program. Holmes takes a bad middle class home and makes it a good middle class home.

Holmes did do a show about building a post-Katrina house, but it was a lot grander than the average Katrina Cottage.

I wonder if anyone's considered a show about Habitat for Humanity.

I did not know what you were talking about at first. But I get that channel on basic.

It is kind of like This Old House for rich folks.

This reminds me of the recent discussions on Fox.

They will be discussing those money grubbing public workers fighting for $40,000 a year and then discuss how hard it is to live on $250,000 a year.

Their conclusion is that it would be unfair to hit up those making a quarter mill with another three percentage points in taxes!

Now listen here crazy....

Seriously.

It was a relief to find out poor old Larry Ellison, the billionaire, was finally going to get his view of the SF Bay. Poor fella. Those nasty downhill neighbors of his let their trees grow too tall and he couldn't see nuthin'!

So he bought the house next door to his own.

For $40 mil.

And now has a clear view of...uh, water.

Whew! Another happy ending for a rich guy! That was a close one!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch style home, those vile non-billionaires are getting put through the financial wringer for failure to pay the mortgage on a house full of snakes sold to them by Chase.

Those damn poor people. Always bitchin' about something! The should be grateful that house came with a lifetime supply of meat for snake stew.

Ingrates.

Yes, yes, I know. Many

Yes, yes, I know. Many painters must have come in to that garage - slash - ballroom to paint those frescoes on the wall. So many starving artists now saved! And the marble-setters who carefully planned the marble flooring that those six cars now drip oil upon. I know!! All those jobs, now lost, alas.

That disabled woman is such a slacker, isn't she? Hiring three different workers in one year, just to give her a safe bathtub. What on earth was she thinking, demanding so much???

Welfare queen.

The cute "Call me crazy, but this is starting to look like a deal!" really sells it for me.

I think Q is right, I mean it's a short sell. It seems gratuitous that they used to have more money than they knew what to do with, but now, they are taking a massive loss. Lets fasce it, life's hard for these folks right now, and your class warfare is just making it worse. I mean they creating jobs when they built that room! Millions of dollars worth. Now our job makers are struggling. We NEED TO HELP THEM, or our economy crumbles Have you seen the national DEBT? we need those jobs!

Meanwhile your old poor disabled woman is probably on social security and medicare just sucking off the public teat. Now that deadbeat just got another handout. Talk about inequity. This is where we put our resources? On some money loser who can't even get into her own shower? It just makes you sick.

Okay, Q, but I get the master
