on a related note, my unemployment continues unabated
I had a temporary job, however, from September to November of 2006, where I was traveling to South Dakota and California.
After that, the number of potential jobs were broken by the annoying 2006 elections where the GOP lost seats... and I lost possibilities. Thank you, Democrats. Thank you worse, Stupid Corrupt Liberal Jerk Republicans whom got diselected.
Either way I am unemployed and have many ancillary problems.
Now for what is more immediately relevent, aside from my own case of being really really fat.
The first two episodes of 24 season six are tomorrow evening, well, tonight actually, scheduled for 8 PM EST. They are supposed to end at 10 PM EST.
If realiy goes like last year's reality, then we will see how stupid Fox is for scheduling the large highly anticipated flagship television program season premiere immediately following a game from the Playoffs for the National Football League. Football games' endings cannot be precisely scheduled or controlled, yet we must set VCRs hoping and praying for them game to end as Fox guessed so I can see 24? Or must I record so much time before and after, eating, wasting tape!?
Just remember football. You forget football then Jack Bauer will be missing off of the end of your tape. VHS is not dead yet. It lives on in the country where TiVo and DVR, PVR is not an option. Thus we hope and wait.
Idiot TV schedulers work at Fox.

Sorry to hear about your unemployment, Chris.
Not so sorry, though, that the Democrats got the house and senate. ;-)
==Tom
SPIDER's right-wing demagogury:
I'm sorry that our dollar is getting devalued further: http://apologiesdemanded.blogspot.com/2006/01/on-michigan-state-of-state-address.html
1. Fox is showing the early game of Seattle at Chicago. CBS is showing the later game of New England at San Diego. So 24 will start and end at the scheduled time.
2. The day that Fox and the other networks don't make serious cash from showing the NFL games and they don't get huge numbers from showing those games and the carry over they get from the shows that come on after it rather than just inconveniencing you...well then you can call Fox stupid accurately. :)
3. Hope you find gainful employment soon.
SPIDER's note: According to an early Telecommunications course, the television networks pay more money to broadcast professional football games then they derive from advertising revenue for the commercials during the games.
Any profit a network makes for having NFL on it generally is a philosophical one, as people apparently like to watch a NFL-is-on-it-sometimes channel...
It's not that the networks can't afford these liscenses, but I feel free to call them idiots if the ads ran in the time slots don't cover the cost of the programming in those slots.
and thank you for Point 1.
So 24 is getting the Futurama treatment? Thats too bad. Hope it doesn't interfere with House.
"Any profit a network makes for having NFL on it generally is a philosophical one, as people apparently like to watch a NFL-is-on-it-sometimes channel..."
I don't know who was teaching that telecommunications course but I am willing to bet they were not a sports fan. Regardless I don't believe a word of it. The Networks make a TON of money from the NFL and football do great ratings and people pay tons for ads. The Superbowl is a perfect example if albiet the most extreme example.
Just be honest in that you were making a very personal gripe about being possibly inconvenienced. :)
And you are welcome for point one. But no thank you for point three? ;)
"Stupid Corrupt Liberal Jerk Republicans"?
Liberal? Sorry to tell you that most of the members of congress who got the boot (not to mention the members of the executive that caused problems for them) were neo-cons. Yes, it was the neo-cons who punked the republicans. The liberals are the ones who took their jobs.
