To all those annoyed with MSNBC for practically shutting down the past two weeks

[Berry Cool]

The good news is, Thursday starting at 9 am, they're having a whole full day of political coverage again. "Back to Work!" is the theme.

About time!

1. I have to say I enjoy those cop shows they've been showing,

but I'm glad their hangovers will be gone by Thursday and they'll be back at work, finally!

2. I'm with you.

I am a stay-at-home mom and keep MSNBC on all day long. Even with all the festivities, company, etc., I missed my regular programming. I even missed Tweety and Tucker. (Don't say it.) Anyway, just to get back at Abrams, I've been keeping CNN on 24/7 in my family room the last couple of days. We will also have yummy Anderson Cooper on tonight while we entertain. So there, Dan. Take that!

3. What? Did they run out of prisons for their "riveting" lockup documentaries?

4. "Solitary! Life in St. Olaf, Minnesota's One-Cell Pokey" clinched the series.

But yes, it is time to move on. :hi:

5. You reminded me of something fun i found a while back

I lost the link, but it was a "booking cam" at some local jail in North Carloina or kentucky (can't recall). the camera was rotating between the cop part and the waiting room.. and it had sound.. It was better entertainment nthan anything you could see on regular tv..

8. Oh yeah....Tennessee I think....

NOTICE! - Jail Cam Offline
Released: 11/27/2006 @ 12:00 PM EST

Anderson County Sheriff Paul White announced today (Monday, November 27) that the Jail Web Cam on the department’s website will be discontinued. Although watching the Jail Cam has shown to be a favorite activity for many across the world, Sheriff White listed security reasons for the decision.

Female Jail Officers have received telephone calls from viewers harassing them and interrupting their duties. It was discovered also that some viewers had been tracking inmate’s movements by watching the cam, which causes severe security concerns for officers transporting inmates. Contraband control was also an issue. It was discovered the jail cam provided viewers with information they used to attempt to smuggle drugs to inmates being transported outside the facility.

There were 1.2 million hits on the website over the holiday weekend and 300 were currently logged on as of 11:00am Monday. The department has been pleased with the popularity of the cam over the past few years, but Sheriff White noted that safety and security must take a priority.
