why are we wasting money and time debating over the extension of the analog telly?! why!?!?! you’ve got a shit load of stuff on your plate obama — this really should be the least of everything. it shouldn’t even be on your dinner table dammit. switch to digital on the 17th. period. extend the coupon offer till the end of 2009. PROBLEM SOLVED. tough shit if you aren’t ready yet. because A) they’ve been advertising the coupon deal for AN ENTIRE YEAR now. B) with the coupon, the converter box is 15 bucks. C) can’t afford it? starve yourself out of a couple mickey d meals and you’ll find the cash. D) lost your coupons? find a friend who got them you idiot!! everyone got sent two coupons!!! E) still can’t make the deadline? LIVE WITHOUT TELEVISION. you have radio ferchrissakes.
people can afford to swing about town with pricey cell phones and eat shit loads of fast food but can’t find the time and cash to spend 15 bucks at target. the government governs your ass, it is not your babysitter.
