Thanks for the "heads-up" Gary. These fools in congress just don't seem to understand that we want less government... not more.

Deane... I hope I didn't mislead you with my opening remarks... we get both satellite providers here... it's just that I feel their services are worthless. When you click on the history channel... they want you to watch ghost stories or ufo myths. Click on the Travel channel and they provide you with a ton of stupid food stories from a team of idiots.

If the government wants to control something... it needs to be the folks who provide worthless, downright dumb television content. Ten idiotic "judge" shows... Nancy (barf) Grace and then CNN and their little sister plus Fox are all hell bent on dishing out what they think we need to know... and each seems compelled to provide us with a team of self-serving buffoons who just love to blather. What ever happened to a real news show... with one guy reading the news and allowing the viewer or listener to decide for himself. (Most of us have brains... although the networks seem to think otherwise.)

If they do away with "free" TV... I'm pretty well convinced that I'll just do without. 100 channels of pure drivel. Sure, every now and then a decent show crops up but they are so few and far between and dish seems to enjoy moving the shows around so it's difficult to find what you seek.

Even worse, the free movies they provide are uncensored and seem to revel in dropping the "F" Bomb unceasingly. I liked it better in world war II when radio and TV folks had manners and morals... even though it was imposed upon them. (Thank God for that!)

I'm calling my "Tea Party" Rep right now. November, here we come!
