Have you noticed the media reporting on the big shut down?
They are stirring it up big time, they are using both sides against each other, they are frowning and laughing and making gestures on who to blame.
In between it all are commercial trying to sell you something, just like when a big hurricane or flood or fire is in the news they say, "we'll be right back after this message"
The national news, the on all the time news of CNN and even the late night talk shows are all playing this to the hilt.
Spells money, money, money being made off keeping you tuned in ... my Samsung 40" lcd has a hdmi slot for dish satellite, Blu-ray and one left for my PC video card ...
I just leave it on CNN and then push the PC button and when I go back to dish to check I can slew the content backwards skipping all of the commercials a the same time.
Plus there is no way that I believe this shut down is costing $800 million dollars a day ... no way.
What about all of the money it saves too and what about all of the poor government workers on tv saying they are just one paycheck away from the poor house?
If they are just one paycheck away from the poor house they surely can't afford "obamacare" too.
