Olbermann is about the only thing I think we'll miss. We really didn't watch anything else anyway.

9. Me too!
All I miss is Jon Stewart, and I can catch some of his show online. I love Netflix; great selection, service, and a very BLUE company!

2. I want to but can't part
with the Ashlee Simpson show...or was it Hannity and, no it was Brini Maxwell. Seriously, I love that show.

3. Congratulations!
It's about time for all DUers to do the same. Let's make the cable company go bankrupt.

6. Good for you-- I dumped mine in December and I sure
don't miss it. I had the "Bronze Package" and it was costing me upwards of $60 per month!!!!!!!! And that isn't even the premier package. Comcast.

So now I get about a dozen channels but C-SPAN is one of them and I'm doing just fine.

Congrats!!

7. I made the decision to do that if Shrub
got a second term. I just stopped paying the bill until they finally turned it off. I was pretty much only watching Jon Stewart anyway and my mom's recording it for me now.

It just wasn't worth it to me to keep subsidising the people who helped reinstall Shrub, plus, most of what's on TV these days is garbage, and you can't turn it on without seeing some rightwing blowhard spewing off.

Good decision.

11. That's a TV Trifecta !
Congratulations !

1. You have helping to starve the MSM Borg.

2. You are saving $30 or more a month you and your family can put to some constructive use.

3. You are sparing yourself and your family from the relentless onslaught of BushCo MSM propaganda.

12. Washington Journal...
I used to watch that a lot in the morning. I'll miss that too, but it's hardly worth the expense.

13. That pain behind your eyes...
Is your brain starting to re-boot...:-)

Olberman is about the only thing worth watching. Unless you like trying to figure out if it's time for Rachel Rae to quit spending the whole $40....
