Long story that I won’t get into but I’m firing Dishnetwork. They suck and I hate them. I’ve had four DVRs in six months and they’ve all gone Tango Uniform. And every time, we lose all our programming. And every time, we have to set it all back up. Be kinda nice if they had a back up function.

That said, I’m looking at TeeVee options. Charter has decent cable and on demand things. We used to have Directv but dumped them once they dumped TiVo. I’ve even been pondering getting one of those Windows Media Center PCs. Anyone have any experience with the Media Center set up? And experience with Charter? And does Directv do TiVo again?

I’d appreciate any input.

update: Looks like TiVo and Directv kissed and made up.

My kids are into songs by They Might Be Giants. My son really digs Particle Man. But we don’t know why Triangle Man is such a poopyhead.

Also, he’s into Peaches by POTUSA, which is the greatest rock video ever because everything is better with ninja fights:

Frank James:

no handgun and its chambered caliber is going to work 100% effectively, 100% of the time for 100% of the occasions where it’s needed whatever the target or threat is.

More allegations that MAIG listed people who never signed up:

Mayor Dale Strasser says he is a member of the National Rifle Association and has never supported any gun control organizations. So he was surprised to discover that pro-gun control organization Mayors Against Illegal Guns said he was a member in its promotional materials.

“My name should have never been on that material,” Strasser said. “They used my name without my consent.”

Seems the wheels are coming off that bus. Another connection to the Brady Campaign. And MAIG is connected to the CeaseFire incestuous circle jerk. Once again, it is shown anti-gunners really have no grassroots and it’s mostly the same people starting different organizations.

On the PATRIOT Act:

Only three of the 763 “sneak-and-peek” requests in fiscal year 2008 involved terrorism cases, according to a July 2009 report from the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. Sixty-five percent were drug cases.

Odds a newspaper accurately reports on guns:

The Tennessean is the only Nashville news outlet to correctly report that felon who sold the gun that killed Steve McNair plead guilty to felon in possession of a firearm.

A summary and why it’s important from Derek.

No, not that they both have lots of whores. It’s that the majority of their content is free on Al Gore’s internets.

They either support gun control or support gun control. Cammack even says we crazy gun nuts need to stop being all gun nutty because we’re making people nervous. Well, outside the lefty blogs who get twitchy over anything gun related, I haven’t noticed a lot of nervousness.

Meanwhile, though not a Democrat, Haslam releases a presser clarifying his rather unclear statements before. Only, it doesn’t seem to have clarified much. He seems to be saying that those who break the law should be subject only to civil penalties and not criminal penalties.
