(Sung to tune of theme to "Car 54, Where Are You?")
Northern Lights has ruts
That are driving me nuts
There are potholes on DeBarr
That are about to swallow my car
Such terrible frights on Inner Springer Heights
Street Maintenance Crews Where Are You?

Digital TV leaves viewer in dark
Is it just me or is anyone else out there experiencing difficulties since the switch to Digital TV?
I no longer receive certain channels I had before the switch and now get channels I do not want. My choices include a 24-hour sports channel, three religious channels, a research channel, one in another language and the ones I do get are constantly freezing!
I now have to rely on the Internet to keep up-to-date on news and if the internet is down-you guessed it-I do not know what is happening even in our own state.

Spare us gobbledygook
Eleven hundred pages of gobbledygook quickly concocted by multiple committees-that's the congressional grand plan for 14% of our economy (health care). By the time the bureaucrats translate that mess into policy it will resemble the tax code, and we will need an H&R Blockage (a potential subsidiary of H&R Block) to charge us to fill out the forms.
Politics and special interests will control the system, and the public will be stuck with another budget busting, unwieldy government program.
Please call our congressional delegation and say no to more government gobbledygook. There is a proper role for government and for the private sector. Market reforms can mend the current system without ending it. I refer you to www.healthtransformation.net/
