Polygamist just wants quiet...

Warren Jeffs agreed to not fight extradition on the charges of arranging marriages between underage girls and older men.  He is the leader of a breakaway part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and believes in polygamy.  Jeffs has over 20 wives and when arrested it has been rumored that he told the police “I’ll do anything you want, those crazy bitches in the back seat won’t shut up… just take me where I can have some peace and quiet!”

You've got mail!

Radio Shack decided to layoff a large number of employees via email because they are having trouble competing and want to get a competitive edge.  Maybe they should try setting their prices closer to their competition (which around here would require up to a 50% reduction on the price tag on many things).  That might help them be more competitive!

Which reminds me.  The last time I called a Radio Shack I asked the guy if they sold a cable with a DVI end and a HDMI end and he told me he had never heard of such a thing and though that they would be hard to find and certainly would not be available in St. Louis.

After looking on the web for a few minutes I found http://www.showmecables.com which not only makes cables they sell them (even custom jobs) for cheaper than Radio Shack sells their standard cables.

The kicker… they are right here in St. Louis!

Guess who got my business!

So, Radio Shack… maybe you can send me an email letting me know:

  1. When you are going to hire employees that understand the items they sell

  2. When you plan to set reasonable prices

  3. When you are going to go back to being that handy store that always had the part I needed instead of the store that sells cheap RC cars and consumer garbage.

Until then I will continue to take my business elsewhere.

Bush promises to continue fight to make the world like America!!!

Bush has promised that he will continue to bring freedom to the people around the world. His plan to do this: more wiretaps, keeping people imprissioned without trial, securing more individual power for himself, and what country would be without it's freedom brought to us by the FCC.

I know that I am leaving out things like the freedom to carry a soda onto an airplane but at least he is not rounding up Americans like they did in the cold war; that is to say... so far...
You will always have someone to make fun of, I promise!

Some people might remember my story about visiting a local retailer where I saw a group of mentally disabled teenagers walking down the hall making fun of the one that had to wear a helmet; thus proving that there is always someone lower than you.

In this spirit I discovered another such instance. Today when I was getting gas, the attendants at the station were laughing because a customer’s wife worked at Wal-Mart. So, the gas station people felt their jobs as pump masters elevated them above someone who wears the blue smock…
