Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared. But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, 'Is the coming winter going to be cold?' 'It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,' the meteorologist at the weather service responded. So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared. A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. 'Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?' 'Yes,' the man at National Weather Service again replied, 'it's going to be a very cold winter.' The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find. Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service again. 'Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?' 'Absolutely,' the man replied. 'It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we've ever seen.' 'How can you be so sure?' the chief asked. The weatherman replied, 'The Indians are collecting firewood like crazy.' Remember this whenever you get advice from a government official! Playing reverse Harry again? Jeees, Loog. Ease up. Is a joke too much for you? Wait until someone starts calling you a dumbfoching moron before calling them your pet names. What names did I call anyone? You called us all "Harry"... Now I am just waiting for the "winger" tag just because we have different opinions on things.. No I didn't. I called your concept reverseHarryanism! Oh, "Is" is the new black;) -- Wafa free since 2009 |

But the poll would not state that we don't watch Olberman, Rachael, Wolf, or Chris either. So therefore, it seems that since we don't watch Beck, then that means his ratings are down, and the advertisers won't want to sell there wares on a show that isn't watched.

Beck is the most irresponsible of the TV hosts-political pundits, and by a factor of 10. I don't watch his show, but I do recall several times your good buddy Herring saying he was a fan of Beck's. Well, there's no question the two of them go together like tea and crumpets. It's a good thing to associate Beck and that piece of **** Herring. There's much less manual "polling" done in the old sense of the word on TV viewership. The fact that you no longer have cable is taken into account, and would have no impact on the ratings of cable shows. Advertisers are not dropping Beck because of the number of views he has. They're dropping him because of the totally irresponsible crap he says on the air. |

If you're going to talk to Krause, don't leave out the best part of his post, to wit: "... but I do recall several times your good buddy Herring saying he was a fan of Beck's. Well, there's no question the two of them go together like tea and crumpets. It's a good thing to associate Beck and that piece of **** Herring." I don't recall ever saying I was a fan of Beck's, do you? Sounds like more lies to me. Probably why I don't respond to the guy more than once a month. -- John H "Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it." -- Thomas Sowell Sorry.

The fact that you no longer have cable is taken into account, and would have no impact on the ratings of cable shows. Sure it does harry.

I mean, they brag about all the "channels" they offer, and if you want something specific you have to take the :"package" just to get the programming you want, like about 20 so called radio channels, countless home shopping network stations, and a bunch of others you couldn't give a rats hind end for. Wish their was true ala carte TV. What's happening now is you're subsidizing stuff you don't care about. Probably all those big sports salaries is a big part of the cost. On top of that seems there are more commercials than ever, so the cable/dish operators are double-dipping. Wish I could talk my wife into giving up the shows she likes, then I would go cold turkey on cable TV. No chance, won't even try. --Vic |

I am paying Comcast about $70 for expanded basic, digital starter and HBO. My dish is about $42 a month, no HBO, the station selection sucks for 3 TV's. $5 extra for the 3rd TV. Looked at Comcast. $29.95 for 6 months and then about $60 plus $13.95 for each extra TV from the get go. Direct from Costco has a better station package, but is about $50 a month for my desires. Will go up to about 60 a month after a year, but you can renew at the $35.95 + extra TV's yearly. |

I have a $3500 automatic tracking antenna on my RV that isn't being used because I'm too cheap to pay for Television. |
