They are good for us, the consumer, only in the short term. In the small town I grew up in, Main Street is dead.....JUST outside the city limits, to save on taxes, is a discount store. LOW prices, but few jobs for locals......
When the locals are FULL of electronics, cheap jeans and "decorative" crap, will THIS ONE file for B/K and leave a dead town behind?..................like the last semi-big box store did? Got a dollar to bet? Wal-Mart does not rape and leave, they stay and keep sucking the local teet....... and let local Gov't. pay forhealth care for the workers they have given NO employment options to because they killed local business. I LOVE my big gallon jug of olive oil... cheap... from Costco........and I DO shop there, but at what cost?.......
When we shop ONLY based upon price......(the immediate price) we cost ourselves so much in the long run. SURELY we must see that we are fed the homogenous corporate pablum that is cost efficient....
You want roses? we have red.....You like yellow?...we have red..........down the street? they have red also.
OK, now we know I had some burbon tonight after dinner....... but still......drive thru one of those "once charming" towns and you can see death..on Main Street.
Live in a city??????? there's an "In-And-Out" (yummy) just down the hall, at my mall, from my local Nordstrom........
You do NOT have to be gay to know that THAT is JUST WRONG!!!
As Miss Fran Fine would have said, "Its a world gone madd".
Oh crap, I should have a close for my rant........uh, say no to crack..........or as Nancy Regan SHOULD have said, "Just Say No THANK You to Drugs"
homogenous
Oh, Yeah.........I forgot to say "WHAT?????? the )Fu#K????????" do you work for the Bush White House in communications?????????
YIKES !!!!!!!!!.........Please look up "specious" in your dictionary. Perhaps you will learn something.......
I doubt it, but its a FINE word for us all to know.
We ALL do..........."holding back tears............"
BUSH still thinks "Brownie" did a FINE job in New Orleans
No "Separate but equal" ???????? you mean like the Supreme Court has said about schools??????????/
NICE
Mother also said, at least Obama is not Hillery or Bush........
THIS from an 81 year-old Republican who voted for Bush 2x.........
My OH SO Republican. Mother today said that even SHE liked Obama. EVEN after I told her about his quote the "I inhaled....THAT was the point" She said, well, at least he's honest.
If anyone here misses fisty, since she "left", and I sort of do.......you MUST go to RagingBull/QBID...........her latest is that stockholders don't really own a company. I forget today's name, but you can't miss her.
OH my.........I just got Keith Olbermans book........much as I love him, it's just a reprint of his on-air "Worst person...." but a good bathroom book.....short quick read(s).
BUT, amazon recomended, I kid you not, "Sweet Jesus, I Hate Bill O'Riley" HOW could you pass up a book with that title???
Its a little dry, but one of those books you just have to have, to leave lying out.........Much like "Men are Pigs, but We Love Bacon".....
WELL, now...........THAT I can understand.........:)
Oh, my...........you should go, a launch party should me MUCH better than just a signing.......I was told it ran from 8-11PM.......so why not hit it late, after dinner?
I was thinking of going tonight, but is it a signing party or the LAUNCH party?
ONE time, someone called PETA.........now, THAT'S taking the joke TOO far............
SURE.......Funny........I'm the one in tears....
Sorry, TT, I deleted some of my post, since the post it was in response TO was deleted.
A good question, indeed. I wonder who might know, how long ago was that atoll offered for 9MM, before Obion (et al ?) paid 13MM at auction? It has been made to sound like they paid 13MM WHILE the asking price was 9MM.
OH, Darling........NO one wants to see me at a nude beach........they keep trying to roll me back into the water hollering "Careful of it's blow-hole" (soft sobs) THINK I'll just stay in my back yard.........MUCH safer..........for us all.
OPPS.......she's gone.......
FISTY'S BACK.......COOL..........she's so entertaining.....
JEFF...........what does QTN have to do with it????? WE NEVER owned it, didn't you hear??????
Catch you all later, looks like it might become a perfect day to get some sun.
Jump them from behind and do their hair........
Can't loose THAT way..........
MY favorite way Bush has stood up to our enemys is his policy on North Korea........when they wouldn't give Bush what he wanted, he stopped talking to them. Just like a petulant child.....
AH, Bill........well said as usual.
I can just hear Keith Olberman saying, "Mr. Burns???????"
I think she got bounced from I-Hub....but she's still going strong on Ragging BUll...she's SO much fun to tease.
I think YOU win the prize..........:)
I miss Fisty..........AND HansenC , for that matter.
And BOTH big old Queens.......
Why not send her to "visit" Frank Olsen...........someone's BOUND to die......
Creepy Crawlers............LOVED that thing.....burned the CRAP out of my fingers, tho.
I think this is a MUCH better place for dialog. I can only speculate about Carol. A comment from her would have been nice....Frank H. might know if she was asked to NOT comment. I can't see how it would have done anything in but help.
Re: QTN on her resume. I have hired staff, and a gap in work history is a Big red flag. To list past employment accuratly on a resume is simply honest. Work history is a large part of a resume. As a practical matter, its better to list and explain it up front, than to be seen as hiding it. THEN you have to explain it AND explain why you seem to be hiding it.......and I would wonder what else you are not telling me. Maybe I'm beating this to death, but IF you know the broadcasting indusry (and I have a passing knowledge) you know it is a VERY small world, the closer you get to the top. Anyone interested in hiring her would know about QTN and if they didn't know Carol's name in connection, they would after their first conversation about her with ANYONE in the industry.
I'd LOVE to know what fisty's motivation is, she sure is fun to tease... as far as the lack of communication. DAMN, I agree. I don't understand why they don't keep us up-to-date, even if there is little to tell. It just fuels speculation.
Later, buddy.
Thanks, I must have been pulling up a cached page.....got it now.
What am I doing wrong???? I can't find the PR on Obion's web site.
Good advice, unless you need the tax loss, what do you have to loose, other than sleep? By the way, that $40.00 is an expense you can use to off-set realised investment gains on your taxes. Cold comfort, but you might as well throw it into the pot.
IF they recover anything from Olsen, and/or if the Cinemax deal goes thru, you might make back a few $ in the end.
OH, my.........well, I agree that fisty is not always wrong and asks interesting questions. I've said that before, so we agree on that one. My faith in Hinnant is based on what Frank Hagan has told me. I've known him for years, and given the people he has worked for/with, I trust his judgement in her as an executive. As far as an exit address I have to think that the PR about QTN's plug being pulled about said it all, no matter who said it. If she knew what Olsen was up to, she should have blown the whistle. If she KNEW and took $500,000.00 instead, as has been reported, I'd like to see some proof and charges filed. BUT, I have to tell you, hiding half a million dollars is not as simple as shoving it into a mattress. It has to come FROM somewhere, and I doubt that Fat Frank had that kind of cash lying around, so there must be a paper trail, if it happened. I'd LOVE to know where the bribe info came from and who is holding this..........and why they give no explination, much less any proof. I can't fathom giving someone that kind of pay-off AND keeping them around. If I did a pay-off, I'd have vidio or audio tape of the transaction to hold over their head. i.e. "If you talk, I'll implicate you as well." Re: QTN on her resume, to not list a previous position raises other (time-line) questions with potential employers, like "Where were you?" By the way, they DID accomplish something...they got QTN on the air. It MIGHT have even been a success if Olsen had left enough assets there to comtinue opperations, or if Lloyd Fan could have gotten additional financing.
Seems to me that the fact that Olsen would not ALLOW advertising to be sold on the network tells us that he was never planning for this to become a going concern. His plan was to gut the corporation and let it die.......with no B/K, because Fisty has said, a court asks TOO many questions.
I honestly don't know about her long-term role, but I see NO reason why ANY question should not be asked.
I totally agree that this team needs to keep us better informed, IF there is anything to tell. WHY they have not put out a PR on the news wires is a mystery to me.
I can't imagine why you should even consider an apology to anyone for asking questions.
I would love to know the answer to a LOT of questions, but I don't see what there is , at this point, to dilute.
NOW, Kids........Word is that MRS. Hinnant (yes, married with children) STAYED to try to make QTN work even after she was not getting paided either.......we KNOW that she was working when TMM/qtn was broke...........think it was for the MONEY?????????????
IF she got half a million, show me proof, FISTY....why did she stay???????? looking for more if she knew the Company was bankrupt??????????????? .........OR trying to make the sinking ship float? inform me, please.
THEY Are not..... Qbid/tnn shareholders still have ownership rights.
