I have clearwire, but I am not sure if it is satellite. There is a receiver, and it sort of plucks the internet out of the air?
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Artist Chris Domino made this cuckoo clock inspired by the horror movie The Shining. Every hour on the hour, Jack Nicholson’s head pokes through the door and says “Here’s Johnny!” Then the Shelly Duval figure screams.

My parents do sattelite. It's not as expensive as it was five years ago but it's not cheap. Also, their upload rate isn't fast enough to support video conferencing.

Huh. Susan Atkins gave a heartfelt response but I notice she left out the part where murdering people landed her in prison. If you didn't know she was a murderer, you'd have thought she landed in jail 'cause she didn't finish school!
The only thing better would have been that an actual kid wrote the letters, and not a bored screenwriter.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well, he's (supposedly) ten.

She has some really nice envelopes.

Ok, the Shapiro letter is awesome.

I like all of the letters. I am sort of annoyed on the letter writers' behalves that they were writing to a liar. I dunno, just doesn't sit well with me that the guy was acting like a kid. It takes the fun out of it (for me).

DH would love the Shining clock.
We looked into satellite internet before cable was available in the Adirondacks. The problem was that the upload speed wasn't fast enough for our purposes and there was some reason it wouldn't work for VPN connections which we needed too. I don't know if those issues have resolved in the last few years.
