Why is it Such a Surprise?

I could have sworn that I wrote about this before but I can't find it.  If I did, and you've read it before, I apologize.  But this is one that bugs me each year beginning around this time.  You know, when the weather gets warmer.  Hit the link to find out what it is that's bugging me tonight.  I will warn you right off, this might offend some out there, but that isn't my intent at all.  This is really an observation of things, you can decide if it is factual or not.

Why Yes, It's Free

With the cool and damp weather we've been having, I haven't had much ambition to get outside.  That means sitting in the house.  Watched a couple of classic movies (real movies, the Back to the Future trilogy) and played a bunch of games on my tablet.  And that is what I'm going to talk about tonight.

Who Should Pay for That?

Tonight there was something on the local news that really annoyed me.  And it effects every American that is reading this.  Does it effect anyone outside of America?  I can't answer that for sure, but it might.

Speech Issues

Tonight's post is all about a problem that seems to be growing.  There are only 2 choices for local news in Syracuse (the local affiliate for NBC also owns the CBS affiliate).  But even before that, we watched the ABC affiliate because it's actually got the best local content.  But there is a problem that is growing at the station.

Why are They Advertising?

Over the last couple of nights, I've seen a commercial played a couple of times.  The commercial is what actually bugs me.  They aren't selling anything and I really can't figure out why they are advertising.  Yeah, you guessed it, hit the link to find out what.

They Must Be Ahead of the Curve

Didn't catch the news tonight.  We went out to a local Mexican joint to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.  But I did catch something that I found a little annoying yesterday on the news.  What was annoying about it?  They made it sound like there was an option.  Hit the link to find out what I'm talking about.

Food Network Gone All MTV

Do you remember when MTV played music all the time?  Or even most of the time?  I do.  And as I've watched the Food Network over the years, cooking has become less and less important.  Really starting to get to a point where there is little cooking at all.
