Comcast Cable Went OUT During 60 Minutes!!!!
So, there I was watching this INCREDIBLE show with Bush getting his due when, bam, my television and internet went out. I missed most of the second half of the interview. I immediately thought...CONSPIRACY! Did anyone else lose transmission? I had suspicions that the FCC was blasting satellites out of the sky to keep this off of the air. Sounds like the show ended well, based on other posts.

1. It is an scathing report
Anyone who sees this, and still believes that Bush is compentent is from another planet.

What area are you located?

I am in San Jose, California, and there is no problem, but then again I am watching on satellite...

3. Boston!
Naturally, the cable came back on right after the interview was over. Caught the piece on OBL's #2. Good report.

13. I think Boston just has horrible wiring.
Seriously. I used to follow a broadband website and the majority of people posting "horror stories" were from Massachusetts. I've lived in PA, FL, MD, and CA and I've never had problems with cable or Internet.
