That Aero thing would logistically have to transmit the free network broadcast with whatever inserted content the network put in place, wouldn't it? So people watching in realtime would still be seeing the commercials? Is the network objection that it doesn't allow them to track live + x days ratings like DVRs do?
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Hooray, our horrible governor backed away from the tax plan that would have eliminated/reduced insanely income/corporate taxes in favor of income and taking away non-profit tax exempt status! Booyah, Bobby Jindal, you know no one got time for that down here - his approval numbers are tanking - in the 30s - which is pretty crazy considering that when he got re-elected the LA Democratic party didn't even bother even promoting their candidate due to his overwhelming popularity and the crazy Republicanism in the state.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's at least part of it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh, hey: Musicians hating on Thatcher, through the years:
The very first thing I thought of when I heard the news was Elvis Costello's Tramp The Dirt Down. (Shipbuilding, incidentally, is one of my absolute favourite Costello songs.)

ND,
I have been reading about Jindal. His tax plans were completely insane and thoroughly misguided. I am glad the GOP business sector was against it because it is unclear if anything would have deterred him otherwise.

Elvis Costello's Tramp The Dirt Down
Oh, I'd forgotten that song. It's a good one. I was reminded of Sinead O'Connor's Black Boys on Mopeds, which isn't as pointedly about Thatcher as Costello's.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Well, interview went well but there are already plans to offer the position to someone else, so I am a Plan B, or if the temp assignment lasts long enough potentially to be converted to permanent down the road (or if the higher-ups okay more hiring in this department meanwhile). So, long-term maybe positive but short-term kinda meh.

Jindal is totally out of his mind, it's frightening.

Sorry to hear that, ~t. Fingers crossed for the long term.

My cat just drank from the cup of oolong tea I made for myself. Silly cat. It won't hurt her, will it?
