So tonight

I went to Costco for tires and had to wait for an hour and 1/2 so I went inside to look around at stuff and on every TV, even the giant ones was the faux snooze. I found the tv guy and voiced my displeasure with having to look at that while in Costco. He wouldn't change the channel, so I snooped around and found the remote and changed the channel to Current TV. I knew I was going to be there for a while so I decided to have some fun with the TV pug. Bastard said "we're not in love with Obama in here." Well that just pissed me off more, not that I have been "in love with" Mr. President either, but he's done the best he could under the fucking circumstances. So the pug changed the channels back, then I changed the channels back and it was a channel dual. Snort.... The manager came over and settled it. The faux snoozed disappeared from the area it was smelling up because I told her that I was not a Walmart shopper or a Sammer and that I didn't think he (TV dude) really fit in there as he was fighting with me the customer. And that I really love the way that Costco treated its employees. To be nice to him and direct him to change the channel and she did. I love her! I wish I could have heard what she said to him.

It's going to offend someone. Put it on Sportscenter and show off the tvs.

Sure they'll go get a few hundred tins if spam and toilet paper by the pallet, but not so much a new big screen tv.

He must have money, or enough if he watches Faux. Even the assholes at Faux would think he makes too much at his job, and he gets benefits too.

I find it hard to laugh at something so serious as the watchdog of government. I can understand how pissed you might have been. I don't think I could take 10 seconds of Hair News before melting. Seriously, I can't even tolerate commercials of any kind. I'm pure!

Fox must give TVs away free to some businesses if they'll play their channel in waiting rooms because I've seen them on all over the place. And I'm in a blue area of a purple state!

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I need to look into it.

And I found this in case anyone else has this problem:

Some businesses play Fox without having thought about it at all, and may not know how divisive and dangerous Fox is. Turn Off Fox will help you work with others in your area (and across the country) to identify places that play Fox, ask them to change the channel, and explain why they should.

I had a verbal confrontation and epic slap-down of a thoroughly insane teabagger woman in that store once. She obviously had money and that's all that kept her out of an institution.

If this goon said, "we're not in love with Obama in here", you can remind the corporate office that their CEO spoke at the Democratic Convention. I'm sure this is a message they would love to receive.
