Nobody’s Perfect: (R) Mayor Bloomberg VS (D) Luis Arroryo
Nobody Perfect:
This week, we have the King of New York, Mayor Bloomberg, a republican, VS Luis Arroyo a democrat from Illinois, who both want to tell us all what we CAN and CANNOT eat.
First Up: Mayor Bloomberg wants you to drink less.
I don’t know who died and made this guy King of New York, but not a whisper was heard when he sort of gave himself a ‘third’ term in office. King Bloomberg has decided that the average person is a moron, and can’t be trusted not to drink too many soda’s, so he banned them. Of course, the millions of dollars that all the businesses that sold the “Big Gulp” large soda’s and had to fork out to change their menus—-the Mayor really didn’t care about them–did he? Nope. He slapped on big fines for the soda criminals if they didn’t comply.
But Bloomberg insists he is not banning anything:
“We’re not banning anything. It’s called portion control,” Bloomberg said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “It’s a typical way that companies use to and governments use to explain to people what’s in their interest and what isn’t.”
Bloomberg is not only trying to control the people’s habits in New York, he is spending millions in Colorado getting trying to get guns ban.
Nobody mentions that if we could all go to the best restaurants in New York and have top sirloin and lobster tails with a low cal salad every night, we’d all be slim like the Mayor.
He is putz number one.
Second Up; Luis Arroyo
Luis doesn’t care if you drink gallons of soda, he just doesn’t want you to eat Lions.
******
CHICAGO • A state lawmaker is pushing legislation that would ban the sale of lion meat and the slaughter of the animals in Illinois, saying he knows of at least two places where he believes the meat is sold.
Lion burgers are practically nonexistent on restaurant menus, so the measure left some political observers baffled as to how the issue surfaced at a time when Illinois is facing the worst public pension shortfall in the nation and also debating gun control and other weighty issues.
Rep. Luis Arroyo, D-Chicago, is sponsoring the measure. He would not identify the two places where he thinks lion meat is for sale, but he said slaughtering the animal for food is inhumane and needs to be outlawed.
“Those are zoo animals,” he told the Chicago Sun-Times. “… There’s other meats we can eat besides the lions.” The House Bill would establish penalties of up to one year in jail and a fine of $2,l500 for offenders.
Okay, it seems there are a few places (Arizona and Chicago) where one can buy a Lion burger.
So…I have to say that this week, Mayor Bloomberg gets the Nobody’s Perfect award for the week, and I had no problem even thinking about it. The good news is gangster-nanny Bloomberg should be told to go take his nanny-proclivities and stuff them in a Big Gulp cup, and leave the rest of us alone—and it seems, a federal court judge has pretty much declared just that.
While Illinois has more pressing problems than people eating Lion meat, Nobody Thinks it’s a good idea to ban Lion meat.
BECAUSE—–We are going to need all the lions we can get to fill the sports arena’s when America falls apart and we decide to feed the politicians to them for our own entertainment…and they can drink panther piss out of Big Gulp cups with their last meal.
I can see the Twitter Feeds now…..

Obama Doesn’t WANT Trump’s Money? Mmmmmm..
Nobody Flashes
As I supported the RICH man Donald Trump in the last election, many of my readers lost hope in me. But I had my reasons: If we are going to be ruled by an oligarchy, why not put a man in who loves the country and who actually could BEAT Obama?
Yes, I happen to know many democrats that would have voted for Trump.
I liked it when he questioned Obama’s birth certificate, and when he said he would build a party room for the White House so they wouldn’t have to keep throwing parties out on the lawn…and now, thanks to a suggestion from Newt Gingrich (who by the way, could afford to throw in a few bucks too) he is offering to pay for the White House Tours that Obama closed down.
From Newsmax:
Donald Trump says he’s willing to rescue the White House tours by financing the costs of the popular tourism activity the Obama administration cancelled last week as automatic spending cuts took hold.
“I guess it’s political. They want to hurt the people,” he said. “It’s just really ridiculous. I don’t think it’s a big deal, frankly. But it does make us look awfully bad and awfully pathetic.”
Yes, a fine word for Obama: pathetic.
I like it. Nevertheless, Trump is out nothing because he knows Obama won’t take the offer, so therefore he can make himself look good by saying he’d do it, not that he wouldn’t do it…just that he didn’t get rich by making bad bets.
Anyway, I know he has drawbacks…but if we have to have a big rich ego in the White House, I’d take my chances with Donald. 
Okay…so he likes to put his name on buildings, but what politician hasn’t?
Don’t worry…this Nobody’s Pick for President will never happen….and that’s a good thing, because Donald would want his kids to become future Presidents, and we would probably have another family dynasty we would never get rid of.
The Bush Family: Power Hungry Political ‘Crack’ Addicts…
Nobody’s Opinion
I hate to say it, but I will: I never liked George H.W. Bush the first. There was something almost pansy about him…and for those of us who were living when Ronald Reagan was President, Daddy Bush (I always call him Daddy Bush) was annoying in comparison. His high winy voice grated on me. I hated to watch him on TV. The “Read my lips” phrase that he made, was more than just a blunder, it was almost as bad as when Bill Clinton wagged his finger and said, “I did NOT have sex with that women.”
Condescending Presidents…Why do they get so uppity and snotty, and condescending? Reagan never did. He was gracious throughout his life. He believed in us, and we believed in him.
And like most people, I hate liars. When Daddy Bush launched the first Iraq War…he gave the excuse that it was a NOBLE ONE…to ‘protect the poor innocent Kuwait’s.’ A big bully Saddam was attacking his neighbor, and the U.S. was going in to help. Every single politicians uses that excuse every single time they send our boys somewhere….because we are a good people, and it works.
We should stop falling for it.
Back when Daddy Bush was President, I hadn’t read about the great deals that President’s had made during WWII….how the British, and the Americans helped carve up the middle East. The oil deals FDR made with the Sheiks of Saudi Arabia. I didn’t think about all that….I just listened to the “glory” of an American victory.
But I’m younger than that now. And when George W. Bush ran, eight years of the masterful lying Bill Clinton was so bad, George was easily elected. And then 9.11 and we’ve been at war since.
No one in the Bush administration went down for not protecting the skies over America. The lies they told about it…”We NEVER imagined”…yada, yada: …were almost criminal.
So, eight years of Daddy Bush, eight years of Bill Clinton, eight years of Daddy’s Bush son, eight years of Obama, and now…they want to add eight years of Jeb Bush. That’s 24 years with one family.
I don’t think I can take eight years more of Daddy’s Bush continuing dreams of globalization..and eight years is a long time in one life. Lots can happen in eight years. It’s almost like there’s a club of elites who just rotate the power…isn’t it?
Last week I was listening to the Rush Limbaugh program and a caller called in and was in despair: In his lifetime, he realized he would never live to see America come back to its sanity. Rush was agreeing with him but he insisted that we must think of the grandchildren.
WHY? Don’t we have a right to get it right for ourselves in our own liftime? To me…that was accepting defeat.
And that’s what seems wrong to many of us.
For instance: Jeb Bush. Jeb Bush has been on every single talk show he can think of: it’s said he is promoting his book, but there isn’t one reporter that cannot help but ask him if he is running for President. And if you notice, he got a big touchy about it when asked who was the better candidate from Florida to run for President, himself, or Marco Rubio.
“Man you guys are crack addicts, you’re really obsessed with all this politics,” Bush said.
Obviously, Jeb Bush wants to run for President. He had come out early simply because Rand Paul is making a nice entrance as a contender with the filibuster, and the GOP-Rhino’s have to get their boy out there. Both his father and his brother have come out publically on many occasions and said they want to see Jeb in the White House. So, Jeb wasn’t mad about being asked if he is going to run…just like a true politician, he can’t announce it now…timing is everything, but the sound of Marco Rubio’s name infuriated him.
I am sick of lying politicians: Just be honest and say you’re going to run. Don’t give us this, “I am going to do what’s best for my family and the country.” crap.
What’s best for the country, is not another Bush. (Or Obama or Hillary, OR Bill) Leave the place empty…good lord, that poor house needs to be aired out.
I remember Daddy Bush taking Jeb to see Obama in the White House…several times. I have said, and I still say: That what the liberals should be harping about is that the good old boy’s white man WASP club wanted to let a black man in the White House, because the truth being, they wanted Universal Health Care to pass, and amnesty and they didn’t want the GOP to be remembered as having passed it. Even Jeb Bush says that next to Obama, George W. Bush will be well thought of.
And that was the plan.
So…Daddy sees it as Obama will be SO bad, everyone will welcome Jeb just like they did George W.so many years ago because they were sick of Clinton. If Jeb had run last time, he would have lost.
For Jeb Bush to say that reporters are addicted to politics, while he is appearing on all their shows promoting himself to be the next President, while at the same time saying he is from the Reagan party…is so insidiously hypocritical, it’s almost laughable.
If anyone is an addict, it’s the Bush Family. They are so addicted to power, they plan to have President from their family clear up into the year 3000. . And the Bush Presidents, have just as much as Obama—- have helped to put America where it is today.
Too bad they don’t have Betty Ford power-rehab for politicians.
What do we do? We stand up for any Tea Party people we can…we keep on yelling, fighting, and get louder. And we should demand that the rich boys in Washington give power back to the people…and in our own lifetime..
Sorry Rush…if you can’t see that we deserve better in our own lifetime… then obviously, the Bush family is still sending you birthday cakes. And you will be leading the nation on the Jeb Bush for President pathway…
Don’t be surprised this time, if even more of us…stay home.
Dianne Feinstein says “It’s Legal to Hunt Humans” …
Nobody Gets Email
Here Dianne Feinstein says it’s “legal to hunt humans.” What did I miss? Are there hunting seasons for humans? When is it?
I have a few suggestions. How bout we put some signs up around the White House that says. “Hunting season is in!”
Come on! Good god.
Really? Did you know it was legal to hunt humans? Did she hear that from the “Commander in Chief?”
I can’t help but find this funny because the GOP chairman just said that the reason the Republicans keep losing is because they keep saying stupid stuff. Next to Maxine Waters and Dianne Feinstein, the GOP look practically as smart as fifth graders.
Really….and this woman has hired guns. I think we need to know if Dianne Feinstein allows everyone who works for her to hunt humans, and if it’s legal, then I guess we don’t even need guns anymore.
Knives work. Bad food. :Poison……I never thought I’d see the day when American’s were allowed to hunt humans.
Just think of UNCLE JOE’s Head, Mounted on your living room wall….
I think MS Feinstein is having some sort of menopause relapse. ( And they thought Todd Atkins was bad.)
(Thanks to Conservative)
Nobody’s Email: Michelle in Skinny Jeans…(expensive) Skinny Jeans…
Nobody Gets Email
Evidently, Michelle Obama would rather wear a real hot sexul outfit to a Kids Choice Award, than anything that would give the kids the idea that she was actually a “MOM.” My self, I think if I were her— I would have had second thoughts about the “skinny” jeans. That’s the biggest front zipper that I’ve ever seen! Or did she stable that together? Doesn’t the White House have Mirrors?
Do I sound catty? Well? Sure I do! Even in Las Vegas, that’s a bit…suggestive. But then again, all the Obama’s got left is “style.” The substance is just not there. And…where are the bangs?
And for the amount of money it costs for the taxpayers to send her there, they could have left open the White House for another four years.
So, the only answer to this problem, is to reopen the White House and put them up in a Holiday Inn. After all, it’s being remodeled anyway…how much is THAT costing?
Whatever.

Nobody Cares About What You Copy at the Office
Nobody Cares
I thought this was interesting: If you happen to work at some place and have made copies of your personal stuff (even at libraries) then it has been stored.
Sneaky buggers.
You learn something new every day, don’t you? So now Nobody has been warned. Be careful what you copy.
Nobody Remembers Obama And Joe Biden As Kids
Nobody Remembers
Roger Ailes the top guy at FOX NEWS, has got a new book out about him, and it’s sure to be a best seller. Lots of quotes are coming out of it, and some not so nice about Joe Biden and Obama: 
From the Washington Times
The biography, by Zev Chafets, quotes Mr. Ailes as saying that President Obama “never worked a day in his life” and “never earned a penny that wasn’t public money.” The Fox News chief also derided the president for being “lazy” and playing too much golf and basketball.
Roger also had another great story about how Senator Obama once asked him to meet at a restaurant, where he tried to intimidate Mr. Ailes. It seems, Obama didn’t like what Hannity was saying about him, and wanted him to stop. Roger then told him not to worry about it, nobody who was a fan of Obama’s ever watched Hannity. (LOL!) Good answer. Obama got up and left. The reason this story is so important is that it shows the kind of arrogant man Obama is…he actaully thought he could get Roger Ailes to stop Hannity from saying anything against him.
This book is really going to upset the liberals, and Van Jones, the admitted communist, has already started the attacks:
“This is the kind of stuff that is really disgusting at the end of the day,” he said. “First of all, Barack Obama’s hair is white. He looks like the black Santa Claus shaved his beard off. You don’t go looking from Tiger Woods to looking like Morgan Freeman in three years if you’re not working hard. There’s a racial charge I think that some people find offensive.” Mr. Jones went on to imply a racial double-standard because “Nobody calls [House Speaker John] Boehner lazy,” because he said he plays golf four times more than the president.
Oh, that’s scientific for you: Work causes your hair to turn white. And here I thought it was hereditary. Gee…What makes you go bald then?
So, once again: Obama and his friends are going to play the race card…well Nobody Says…why not? Okay! Here’s some unknown footage I just found of Barak Obama and Joe Biden taken when they were just kids hanging out in the neighborhood, proving that even as kids, they wanted everything to be handed to them…for free. Yes, the seeds of greed and gluttony were there to see even as kids.
Nobody Wonders About John McCain and Linsey Graham
Nobody Wonders
Paul Rand did a good job yesterday filibustering on the Senate floor to make the point— that the fact that the President can use drones on American soil to kill just anybody he wants to, without permission from anyone, is unconstitutional and he is dead right. I didn’t see it, but by all accounts it was wonderful. 
So today Nobody Wonders why the whole Senate was not there giving him support…but instead, having dinner with the President?
Old guard Republicans were having dinner with the President. Let that sink in.
Nobody Also Wonders if George W. Bush would be supporting drone attacks on people here on our soil. Would he agree with the old Rhino’s? You bet he would.
Today, the established RHINO’s John McCain and Lindsey Graham have come out to ostracized Paul Rand for pulling such a stunt. They treated him as if he were a mere frat boy pulling a prank.
“The country needs more senators who care about liberty, but if Mr. Paul wants to be taken seriously he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids in their college dorms. He needs to know what he’s talking about,” said Mr. McCain, Republicans’ presidential nominee in 2008.
Mr. Graham said asking whether the president has the power to kill Americans here at home is a ludicrous question. “I do not believe that question deserves an answer,” Mr. Graham said.
Well gee…now we’re not even allowed to question. (Oh…term limits…term limits…term limits…term limits….)
And while the Rhino’s in the Senate are busy attacking the last lone guard to the Constitution, today we get the spiffy message that Dennis Rodman just made little Kim Jung Um madder. He is just dying to use his nukes:
“North Korea threatened to launch a preemptive nuclear strike on its “aggressors,” including the U.S., ahead of a United Nations vote on tougher sanctions against the totalitarian state for last month’s atomic A foreign ministry spokesman said: “Since the United States is about to ignite a nuclear war, we will be exercising our right to pre-emptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor in order to protect our supreme interest.”
Nobody Wonders how Senators can be so angry at a true patriotic Senator trying to hold back the tyrannical erosion of American liberties, and yet— be so silent about a man who has said he is going to nuke us?
What is more important? 
And is the reason they are so bent on having killer drones over America is because they (Being the Rhino’s and the democrats who seem to be now one party) decided long ago to let millions of Mexicans flood the country to “fix our old-age population problem” thereby deciding the risk was worth the cost of letting in dangerous citizens from other countries with nuclear weapons?
Nobody Wonders every single day….if they are already here?
Or do they just want the power to rule as tyrants? And once again, Obama stays silent on a country with nukes threatening every single day to use them. Instead, he is planning another vacation.
Obama is the enemy we know. But John McCain is turning out to be a traitor. Maybe all those years in prison turned John into a sympathizer with his prison guards…a sympathizer with communism..
John McCain is starting to look like Jane Fonda…all he needs…is a boob job.
Nobody’s Fool: Senator Ted Cruz
Nobody’s Fool
Senator Ted Cruz is great in this exchange with Eric Holder. Eric Holder has admitted that President Obama has the right to use drones on American Citizens in the United States, but here, he is trying to act as if “Oh…we wouldn’t hit anyone sitting in a CAFE..”.(We’d wait until he got in his car..or went to the bathroom…or jumped into a pool..)
This is the kind of questioning that all the republicans should be doing.
Watch, and admire.
Senator Ted Cruz makes us all proud, and he wins the Nobody’s Fool prize for the week.
Now, let’s get him to start talkinga about impeachment proceedings….
Obama TAKES the White House
Nobody Knows
Rush Limbaugh’s whole program today was about how Obama is purposely causing as much pain to the American people as he can, in order to blame the Republicans, and then destroy the party forever. At least, that’s how he sees it.
But Nobody Knows if Obama has something much bigger planned. Everything that this video says is true: Our government is stocking up on bullets, guns, tanks, drones, and posting Tea Party people as the enemy. And today, due to the “sequester,” Obama is closing the White House to “public” view.
It’s HIS house now. The moat is up. “We the People” are not allowed. Now he can start raising some REAL money. He is putting the final nails into his dictatorship, and the only thing to keep him from becoming the next Hugo Chavez is the Tea Party people.
And so the attacks begin again: 
Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich accused the Tea Party of engaging in a plot to “undermine the government of the United States, to destroy much of its capacity to do the public’s business, and to sow distrust among the population,” Breitbart.com reported Saturday.
According to Reich, sequestration is “only the start.”
“What they set out to do was not simply change Washington but eviscerate the U.S. government — ‘drown it in the bathtub,’ in the words of their guru Grover Norquist – slashing Social Security and Medicare, ending worker protections we’ve had since the 1930s, eroding civil rights and voting rights, terminating programs that have helped the poor for generations, and making it impossible for the government to invest in our future,” he added.
Joel B. Pollack reminded readers that As is nearly always the case, the left’s accusations of conspiracy and sedition are a form of projection, accusing others of what they themselves are doing,” Pollack added.
Nobody Knows if Obama is planning some sort of “event” to further his own power. But everybody knows that the Tea Party people do not want to slash anything but the waste and fraud of the rich people in government. They don’t want to erode civil rights, or voting rights, or any other such thing. These are not facts…they are outright lies. And Nobody Knows if they will ever end. Nobody is gladder than I am that I got to go on the White House Tour. Somehow I knew, even in the year 2000, that it was a last chance…to see it. I knew…because there were solders on every corner in Washington, D.C., with big guns. It was a virtual police state that year, and Nobody Reported it but me.
It doesn’t take a lot of money to put on those tours. One less golf trip for Obama would fund it.
Only a communist would arm the govenment and close the house that always belonged to the people. The man is insane. How DARE he shut the White House to the American people!
When are they going to impeach this man? When?!
Nobody Reports: Carl Sagen Predicted Future of America
Nobody Reports
This morning on the local radio station, there was a discussion on the big problem we have with the low-income students not being able to get help, when a progressive educational public school system cannot seem to teach them anything. Richer people can afford to get Johnny a tutor when he cannot seem to understand fuzzy math, but not the poor kid. I was waiting for the conclusion that “We need to spend MORE money on the poor kids.”
How many times can you keep making the same mistakes over and over? When will our politicians ever learn that it’s not how much money you spend, it’s the system itself that is failing.
A minute later, I picked up the book I was reading (The Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan) and read this;
“Science is more than a body of knowledge: it is a way of thinking. I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time–when the United States is a service and information economy: when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries: when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues: when the people have lost the ability to see their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority: when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.
The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bite (now down to seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentation on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance. As I write this, the number one videocassette rental in America is the move Dumb and Dumber. “Beavis and Butthead” remain popular (and influential ) with young TV viewers. The plain lesson is that study and learning–not just of science, but of anything are avoidable even undesirable.”
Is it any wonder that we haven’t heard much about Carl Sagan from the liberal crowd?
Carl makes an excellent point. The reason Obama got elected, was because the majority of our population would rather watch Vampire and Zombie programs then read a book, or delve deeper into Obama’s sound bites: whether they are true or not.
Our schools have shaped our kids to be zombies, listening to sound bites of movie stars and politicians who cannot even add.
Every President says he is going to fix our schools, and no President ever does. And our kids know it. What kind of future can a kid dream of today?
The book was written in 1996. It’s now 2013. Mr. Sagan used science to predict the future.
And he wouldn’t be surprised to know: Zombies are among us now.
Nobody’s Perfect: The World Has Gone Mad
Nobody’s Perfect
This week, I have to sadly announce, that the politicians have done a very thorough job of driving good abiding citizens out of their ever-loving minds.
And here’s proof.
It seems no one in the entire planet can stand it anymore: unemployment, socialism, communism, Obama, or Michelle, the EU, the Feminists, the crazies, and especially Joe Biden.
Nevertheless, having said that, I think we CAN blame some of these rather obscene moves on the First Lady, who supports child sexual education in kindergarten, and moving as much as you can. We see here the many moves of the children of liberals who are being taught that having sex it the best thing to do with your time. Therefore practicing these moves is a good thing.
And having said THAT…Nobody Thinks that the Australian miners should NOT have been fired just for doing the Harlem Shake. Nothing was hurt. Where’s their sense of humor?
Really, the leaders of the world are driving us all insane.
How can anyone hold on to sanity when the world is being run by space cadets?
Enjoy. Nobody Wins the Nobody’s Perfect award this week. Fair warming…some of these guys are…probably drunk.
Florida Has More Than Sinkholes….

Nobody’s Got a Beef With Cable TV
Nobody’s Opinion
“Irresponsible spending” …that’s all we’ve been hearing every day, for the last four years. If you are like me, and you are the one who takes care of all the household bills, you can’t help but be very angry when you see John Kerry give $250 million dollars to Egypt, while we here at home, are being forced by our government to cut corners. 
And today, I have certain complaint that just gets me going: How to keep paying for Cable TV?
I can remember when my dad bought our first TV set. It was black and white, and I was completely bored with it, although I do remember watching my brother, every Saturday morning, sitting in front of it…watching cartoons while he ate a whole pan of Sara’s Lee’s chocolate cake.
And no, he never got fat. Back then, kids were outside the whole day, running around in the woods. We’d go home for supper. And back out again until dark. Parents back then didn’t have to worry about the kids being picked up by child molesters, or getting shot on the corner. We lived in a America that was free, and most kids had both a mom and a dad.
Someday…all birth certificates will say: Origin: Lab at UCLA… (Warning…Do not mix with methane )
But..I’m getting off the subject: which is…TV. Back then, television, was FREE! And that’s why I’m using my blog to complain about what I feel is another rip-off of the majority of Americans.
I don’t remember when Cable Television really got going, but I have tried all the cable providers offered here in Missouri, and they ALL do the same thing. They give you a deal when you first sign up with them, and then tell you…not much else. And most people don’t think to ask. (Like me)
It doesn’t matter whether it’s DISH, Direct TV, CHARTER, or AT &T, they are all the same: And I’ve had them all.
And they ALL –rip you off.
Now, like most Americans, with every passing month, I am trying to cut corners..simply because, while wages haven’t gone up since Bill Clinton bombed a pill factory, everything else that you need for daily living has. And budgeting is almost a daily chore.
Not too long ago, I dragged my husband to the local bank to refinanced our car from 4.0 (Which is all the dealership would give us) down to 1.0,…and I was real proud of myself to find out I’d be saving over $50 dollars a month on our car payments.
But..then I got my Direct TV bill. It went from $76.00 to $95.00 in one statement. The savings that I was getting from refinancing, just disappeared. That’s just…BUGS me—especially when there is NO reason for the rate increase…no extra stations, it’s all the same…they just felt like raising it.
I called DIRECT TV.
“Why are my rates jumping up? I wasn’t told this would ever happen when I signed up!”
“Well, you have a DVR and your subscription is up.”“Okay…I had no idea I had a subscription.”
“Is this the last time…$95 is all I will ever pay?”
“Yes.”
(Sigh.) Here’s the problem. I know so many people who have figured out how to get free TV. They bounce off their neighbors, or they get HD antennas, and here I am going to be paying back up to $120 by next year, (Yes, I guess my 2nd subscription will be up by 2014) And I am paying twice the price in two years for the same service.
Every single cable company I have been with does this. Every single one. They let you slide for a year, then BAM. You’re screwed.
They do the same with cell phones.
Can somebody tell me what this is called? I can think of no other name but “rip-off.”
The very next day, after I was told that $95 would be the final price, I got a bill for $100.10
I called them up…
“Hey, the girl yesterday told me the price would never go up!”
“Well, in February the price of your DVR when up 3 dollars.”
“She said that was included in the price YESTERDAY!”
…..silence.
You see, what is so frustrating is: they don’t have to tell you a damn thing. You can quit if you like, they really don’t care.
I’m starting to wonder if I’d be happier to go back to being like it was when I was a kid. I hardly ever watched TV. And TV CAN be deadly. My mother had a stroke watching Bill Clinton, and my good friend Pattie told me she thinks that her husband suffered his heart attack due to the stress he was having with Charter. He had been fighting with them all day. To this day, she blames them for his early demise.
If that had happened to my husband, I would put his ashes on the mantle with a sign,
Here lies Charlie (not real name) killed by an encounter with Charter Communications.
I doubt if there is anyone in the country who has NOT gotten furious with a cable provider.
If so, speak up.
I’m not sure how to solve this problem, (all ideas are welcomed) but I am getting tired of the game. Somehow, 500 channels and more commercial time than actual program time s is getting old. There’s Netflix, I know, but I like to keep up on politics, and news, so I do want my cable. I love cable.
I just don’t like the lies, deception, and theft.
But then again…aren’t we all getting used to getting ripped off?
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
