That's what I'm reduced to until my FIL leaves.
Hate Faux. HATE HATE HATE.
Can't wait to change the channel to basketball in 30 min.

2. I have a FIL w/ the same mindset. |
|
I have mastered 'Miss Manners' methods of dealing w/him.
I am polite, aloof, and look at him as though I pity him.
It's working very well.

11. You should be able to do it with your remote |
|
go to "Menu" select "parental controls" (or similar) and go through the steps. A link to someone with a similar question: http://www.ehow.com/how_2312748_block-channels-panasonic-720p-plasma.htmlHope that helps :)

13. Dad didn't much care for Limbaugh being banned |
|
in my home. He also didn't like that reading matter was not allowed in the only bathroom. He claimed that I was infringing on his rights; I asserted that he was free to exercise those rights at the Motel 6 down the road. Then I smiled and said, "As long as you're under MY roof..." He didn't like it, not one bit, but he complied with my wishes; he knew he'd find his suitcase packed and on the porch otherwise.

14. If he hunts, talk over the TV and tell him all about Huckabee wounding the deer. |
|
Rave about what a wonderful hunter he is to wound a deer from too far away to get a clean kill and how loyal he is to his fans for leaving it to suffer so he wouldn't be late for a political appearance in another city. He is certainly a shining example for all wanna-be hunters everywhere. You know, the kind that never wear a hat unless they're at a sports bar or hunting, that drive from the suburbs in a fancy car with a cooler full of beer to go shoot at anything that moves in woods they'd never enter without an excuse to shoot at stuff. Those great hunters just LOVE Huckabee.
I can't imagine a REAL hunter ever voting for him after what he did. Real hunters take responsibility for animals they wound, find them (hunt), and finish the job.
