Update: Death

Only in Flordia

Two parents have went on strike in Daletona, Fla. Their kids refuse to do any work around the house, and after months of trying to get them to the parents went on strike. The parents are now living in a tent in the front yard. They have signs that read "Parents on Strike!" and "Seeking Cooperation and Respect." The kids said that every time the phone rings they have to run out side to give them the phone. The Department of Children and Families said that as long as the kids are not suffering this is not abandonment. Which it must not be as the kids are still have clean cloths the daughter has washed cloths. Just funny.

Kerry Campaign Staff Not Getting Paid

The Hedgehog Report is quoting The Washington Post as saying that John Kerry is refusing to pay some of his campaign staff. Some have not got paid since August. When they call to ask where their money is at they get "next week" or "you're on my list". No word if the "next week" happens or not. I believe this is way people need to have contracts. I also the thought the Dems where they ones that supported the little people. Wonder if the campaign staff have a union.

FCC and PTC

Acorrding to this story. The PTC (Parents Television Council)filled 99.8% of the indecency complaints in the year 2003. However, they have filled 99.9% of the complaints through October. The Fox Show, Married by America had only 159 complaints. The FCC could only fine 90 complaints from 23 individuals. So what we have is a monirt in a demorcarcy affecting the majority. Both the FCC and he PTC must understanding that the role of government is not to censor. And yes what the FCC is doing is censoring.

Good Bye Brokaw

Here is the transcript of his finial thoughts:

The time is here.

We've been through a lot together, through dark days and nights — and seasons of hope and joy.
Whatever the story, I had only one objective: to get it right. When I failed it was personally painful and there was no greater urgency than course correction. On those occasions I was grateful for your forbearance and always mindful that your patience and attention didn't come with a lifetime warranty.
I was not alone here, of course. I am simply the most conspicuous part of a large, thoroughly dedicated and professional staff that extends from just behind these cameras, across this country and around the world, in too many instances, in places of grave danger and personal hardship. They're family to me.
What have I learned here? More than we have time to recount this evening but the enduring lessons through the decades are these: it's not the questions that get us in trouble. It's the answers. And, just as important, no one person has all the answers. Just ask a member of the generation I came to know well, the men and women who came of age in the Great Depression, who at great personal sacrifice saved the world in World War II and returned home to dedicate their lives to improving the nation they had already served so nobly.
They weren't perfect. No generation is. But this one left a large and vital legacy of common effort to find common ground here and abroad on which to solve our most vexing problems. They did not give up their personal beliefs and greatest passions but they never stopped learning from each other. And, most of all, they did not give up on the idea we're all in this together.
We still are and it is in that spirit that I say thanks for all I have learned from you. It's been my richest reward.
That's "Nightly News" for this Wednesday night. I'm Tom Brokaw. You'll see Brian Williams tomorrow night; I'll see you along the way.

Out going CBS News lead anchor Dan Ra^ther is now seeing ghost. Ra^ther made this statment to The Hollywood Reporter:

And then there was this: “Ed Murrow’s ghost is here. I’ve seen him and talked to him on the third floor of this building many times late at night. And I can tell you that he’s watching over us.”
