The holidays are a time for giving... to yourself if the "independent" US media has anything to do with it... (come on, who deserves it more anyway?)

So now is the time to go get Mrs. M a Christmas present?
Goebbels would be proud
Ironically, I bought a fair bit of merino wool for the wife (Minus 33 makes amazing merion wool base layers - feel like cotton and machine washable/dryable with natural soap on delicate). Stuff is expensive, but well made and lasts a long time. I wore a set for a part time job (~3 days a week) for the better part of a year and a half and the stuff held up great.
Um, after that I bought stuff for the kitchen mostly. I am saving a fat gift certifcate for the winter clearance sales in several months. Best time to buy Pendleton stuff.
After that, it is just paying down my last bit of debt and waving buh-bye to borrowing!
Hint: Google total bastard airlines skit.

P.S. They can keep all their consumer shit. Don't need none of that. :-)
My big ticket item this year was the Katadyn Pocket waterfilter, courtesy of Hedgeless Horseman's suggestion. Thanks HH!
And the wife gave it to me so it's all good. With 'our' money. ;)
merino wool !
listen faggot deres a storm cumin like you would not believe i bets you go to the nail bar and i bets you got a perm : )
by the time national service finished wid you boy you will be lucky to get a fema plastic coffin jacket
I am not exactly sure what your presupposition is here, but I suspect I could highlight your flawed logic with the following fact:
I would also point out I purchased "base layer clothing" which you didn't quite figure out has zero fashion value since you wear it under your other clothes.
When it is cold out, particularly when its damp or I am sweaty, I like to "feel warm". Wool is warm even when wet or sweaty.
Regards,
Cooter
I've been wearing that merino wool underclothing for three years, longs in winter, shorts in summer. I wear the light stuff, heavy weight is too warm. -34 celcius here tonight. Best damn longjohns and t shirts I've ever worn.
Tony must be a city boy. Ankle socks and scarves are likely his fashion.
Stack On
Everyone missed the message here.
Conan states the big story is a Judge ruling AGAINST snooping by NSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"U.S. judge says NSA phone surveillance is lawful"
Oops just an honest slip right?
HELLO??????? Oh well I guess Americans can all rest easy now right...WRONG!
Scripted media. This shows you exactly who the media works for.
I am currently on an Amtrak and the content blocking filter has blocked the video. However from the comments, I don't even need to watch the video because I've watched this kind of shit several times already. Hell, even Jon Stewart (whatever his regular joo name is) exposed the scripted media on his show.
They all say the same exact words, word per word. You really have to be dumber than a rock to not recognize the pattern (if you watch TV, but isn't that the goal of TV anyhow, to make you dumber than a rock?)
Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Stewart
You're welcome.
From Wiki:
Jon Stewart (born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz; November 28, 1962)[6] is an American political satirist, writer, director, television host, actor, media critic, and stand-up comedian. He is widely known as host of The Daily Show, a satirical news program that airs on Comedy Central.
So what was the defination of "the big lie"?

how about...
"He describes himself in high school as "very into Eugene Debs and a bit of a leftist."[16]....
After college, Stewart held numerous jobs: a contingency planner for the New Jersey Department of Human Services, a contract administrator for the City University of New York, a puppeteer for children with disabilities, a soccer coach at Gloucester High School in Virginia, a caterer, a busboy, a shelf stocker at Woolworth's, and a bartender at the Franklin Corner Tavern, a local blue-collar bar. ...
Later in 1993, Stewart developed The Jon Stewart Show, a talk show on MTV. The Jon Stewart Show was the first talk show on that network and was an instant hit, becoming the second-highest rated MTV show behind Beavis and Butt-head.[26]"
Now that is comedy gold....

zerozulu, much thanks for the video link. I usually think of them as an annoyance I really don't have time for, text being so much quicker, but I just had to look!
Drop dead fucking devastating. A brilliant addition to the video featured in this article. Wow.
When Bush was the head puppet, I used to watch, off the Internet, Jon Stewart show clips from the scripted media. All the "outlets," so called conservative and liberal, used the same words and phrases. LOL
"Reality is included in the script."
Media consolidation and the corresponding great reduction in independent reporting and investigative journalism. It's cheaper and more profitable that way, but it destroys the former mission of the "free" press as the "fourth estate" government watchdog. Now, they far too often simply repeat press releases from "government sources." Thus, the successful drumbeat for war in Iraq and the firing of the few people in the media who challenged it.
At some point in your life you have to ask who these "sources" are, and why they can never be named. WSJ is the worst. I read that shit for too long and never seen them name a single motherfucker. Always "sources"...
Glad I gave up newspapers. Hell, I make it sound like a hard drug lol.
You can admit it there is no escape route left for you.
One of the talking heads allows me to buy not one, two or ten, but THREE things for myself. I wonder if she was censured for deviating from the script.
Satan likes odd numbers.
I wasn't counting but was that 33 separate news desks with the identical script?
Conan tags it: "That's scary...I find it frightening actually."
"Satan likes odd numbers."
So why is his number, 666?
667 ...translation error IIRC.
He is the antipode of God which makes him 333.
If he wants to conquer the Earth and Heaven he has to become 666, but he can't so he will end up as 166.5.
Sure there is - plenty of 'em! I got one modern one, but my top three include what your and my ancestors have been doing forever:
1) Skateboarding
2) Chillin with family and friends [booze and pot optional but recommended]
3) Introspection
Skateboarding -- alas -- has only been around since the 60s. But I do believe that skateboarders are the next evolutionary step in mankind.
How many years have you racked up skateboarder skateboarding?
13 and counting homie. We got a long long way to go before concrete is no more, and you can bet your ass I'll be skating every flat surface until then.
It is mind-boggling that these are all "different" networks. In different venues. What was that source again?
No 'news'papers for me, as there's never any real news in them.
I was in a store recently where a guy tried to sign me up for a subscription. He asked me if I'd like a 'free' newspaper.
I answered in the affirmative, then pointed out that a free newspaper doesn't exist.
He gave me a funny look and moved on to someone else!
Conan at the end says "I find that scary."
So let me get this straight. National retailers are now able to script news wording to inform us we have the right to buy ourselves 10 gifts?
Have you ever noticed that just before the xmas buying season, the media comes out with bogus predictions of less than stellar sales for the upcoming season? That's a psychological prod to get you to react by saying to yourself, "Well, things are doing just fine for me, and I'm going to prove it by getting everybody great gifts." That message is just as carefully scripted as the crap in that video clip. The retailers are treating people like guinea pigs, and the media evidently is their tool.

@ manipuflation
You have to put in the /sarc tag to get the green arrows, Mr.M. Not that I would encourage prostituting oneself for peer validation.
True to my word (& my wallet) I gave nothing but hugs and home-printed cards to friends and family (except for my baby sis who got half oz of au) at Christmas. I wish I can say all of them were pleased about it, but they mostly hid their disappointments well. Was it liberating not to play the rabid consumer? Yes. Did I get wry pleasure from watching the maniacs scrambling for crap at the malls? Yes. :)
Mate, Hope you had a good Christmas and wish you all the best in the New Year.
It feels so good to uncontribute the "christmas™" season.
These segments are a real public service that Conan is providing to them that still watch TV.
And what's UP with his hair? Geezus, I could sharpen an ax on that crown.
Not since Smaug laid waste to the network.
Thats our breaking news in this country.
Controlled brainwashing.
Not much different than local or national news "repeaters" reading a corporate PR "news" release as if it were original copy written by the 'repeater". After all who has the time to actually report the news, let alone dig it up. What's the harm in reading the corporate PR copy verbatim. It's a victimless crime.....right?
<Right. Just keep telling yourself that until you believe it.>
INFOGRAPHIC: MEDIA CONSOLIDATION – THE ILLUSION OF CHOICE
http://owni.eu/2011/11/25/infographic-media-consolidation-the-illusion-of-choice/
Those anchors, they're lemmings, the lot of 'em.
I respectfully disagee.
Lemmings act on intinct and operate under a herd mentality during mass migratations. You're showing mad disrespect for lemmings imho.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemming#Misconceptions
The sad truth about the Presstitutes is that these people know damn well what they're doing and do it with the willful intent to decieve for their salary and self-inflated egos.
I'll tell you for one that if this thing ever devolves to a shootin' war it's these 'talking heads' that will be the first to pop in sight-pictures around the country...and in my locale as well.
In case you did not see my Comment, I try to UNbrainwash the population with these histories.

"The sad truth about the Presstitutes is that these people know damn well what they're doing and do it with the willful intent to decieve for their salary and self-inflated egos."
By & large, absolutely.
“Until we fully understand what turned two brothers who allegedly perpetrated the Boston Marathon bombings into murderers, it is hard to make any policy recommendation other than this: We need to redouble our efforts to make America stronger and healthier so it remains a vibrant counterexample to whatever bigoted ideology may have gripped these young men....And the best place to start is with a carbon tax.” - Thomas Friedman
You see, only with a carbon tax can American marathon runners be made safe...or sumpin.
Other MSM characters however, are just fucking nuts:
“We have never invested as much in public education as we should have, (edit ROTFL!!!) because we’ve always had kind of a private notion of children....(edit, ummm wut?) We haven’t had a very collective notion of these are our children....(edit, no, they clearly have my last name and you send nothing my way as means of supporting them) We have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities.” - Frau Melissa Harris-Perry (who clearly has her hair braided too tightly).
But the theme is always the same...nanny-statism and/or National Socialism.
"And the best place to start is with a carbon tax"
The next opportunity for massive fraud that became clear to me years ago, but apparently not to the authors of the PBS documentary segment, when I saw some guy recording the specs and GPS location of a tree in a South American jungle to be "sold" as a "carbon sink." Right, I can't see any possible way to game that.../s
I knew it was a fraud when I discovered the data was compromised.
Many unmanned stations are improperly (though unintentional I believe) positioned next to asphalt parking lots and air conditioning exhaust etc. and with the collapse of the Soviet Union manned stations simply quit reporting, naturally. Then throw in the intentional manipulation of data by vested interests like the University of Colorado and East Anglia (Phil Jones & Michael Mann) and its revealed as nothing more than a hoax by those interested parties.
Didn't Michael Mann direct "Heat" and "Last of the East Anglians"?
Wes Studi as the Crying Indian should have won an Oscar.
Yes.
Also, the movie Thief, starring Al Gore as a limo riding elitist snob & presumptive poet-politician spurned by the public by day and a cat burgling family jewel thief by night.
Kinda of a neo noir thingy.

Oh, so all of the news is cooked up in some central processing facility. The empire is in decline.
Dude, welcome to the last 30/40 years.
OMFG. The adherance to the script here is worse than the "ignore Ron Paul" deal when he came in 2nd in Iowa (I think John Stuart did a bit on that).
Somebody needs to trace this back to its source.

With friends like these who needs enemies?
I don't find this funny. I find it horrifying that this is just how tightly controlled the media is across all channels to a central script...across all those 'independent' media channels as Tyler so eloquently points out.
Wake up sheople.
I agree. Just showed my kids as a lesson to think for yourself and don't believe something is true just because you hear it on the news or read it in a book.
They laughed after the first couple and then were in disbelief. Eye opening but a learning opportunity for the bigger picture. I told them it's probably not any different for a headline story on "serious" news either.
"I find it horrifying that this is just how tightly controlled the media is across all channels to a central script..."
You can thank the media ownership consolidation over the past few decades which naturally results in this. The "illusion of choice" everywhere including the media, not just in the two virtually identical major political parties, virtually identical because of their common, corporate ownership.
Media is the plural form of medium. Thus, it is grammatically correct to say that the news media are.
However, it is factually correct to say the news medium is, as the few remaining news organizations constitute a monolith that contrains political and socioeconomic discourse to the point that, if gauged alphabetically, it would run the gamut from L to M.
Other than through alternative news media like ZH, in other words (though there is of course nothing quite like it), there is no public discourse that doesn't merely perpetuate the status (statis) quo. Rather, the mainstream news medium renders critical thinking null and void, such that the government is only questioned with regard to what it should do, not with regard to whether it should be.
And simply put, until that changes, nothing will.
The medium is the message.
"Wake up sheople."
They're too busy drinking koolaid and hanging on Faber's every word.
Fuck you 2 faggots that gave me a down arrow,back to the glory hole for you two queers.
Count your blessings as they occur my friend.
As I type this, your latest comment has only one downvote, so it seems that at least one of the Dot Govtards has been (temporarily) distracted by the aforementioned glory hole.
Come on, guys. It's obvious that these reporters just all uncovered the same story through good investigative journalism. What's with the conspiracy theory that they just read scripts given to them by their corporate owners?
Let's be clear, it's not conspiracy theory, it's "conspiracy theory".
Stores are open at 4 A.M. the day after Christmas -- it's not too late!
Get ready for 4 P.M. on Christmas day.
lol @ everyone assuming this is some conspiracy or evil corporation behind it.
It's simple. Some news agency like Reuters sends out a script through a wire service every channel is subscribed to. Because it saves money and time (journalists don't want to do any real work anymore these days anyway) everyone just copies the script. The viewers are too stupid to notice anything, everyone is happy.
Funny, you sound almost exactly like a commenter on reddit on a thread exactly like this one on that site. It's almost like there's a commenter wire that you guys get your internet comments from...
No way, right? That'd be like some crazy conspiracy.
This stupid holiday story isn't really all that important aside from the fact that it highlights the "possibility" that news isn't news at all. Even the BIG STORIES are all controlled(possibly created) from a central source.
Amazing! What's the probability of all those different sources of news saying exactly the same thing...oh wait. /sarc
It sort of takes all of the fun out of playing 'radio roulette' doesn't it?
(For those of you who don't fit into the 'geezer' category, 'radio roulette' was the practice of scanning through all available radio stations at roughly 5 second intervals in order to create a fictitious (and, more often than not, hilarious) narrative .)
Nowadays, any attempt at playing radio roulette results in nothing more than an unbroken stream of regurgitated bullshit.
Someone should ask the independent US media about Obama's lies that almost led to a US attack on Syria. But they are too busy exhorting you to shop till you drop:
US media blacks out Seymour Hersh exposé of Washington’s lies on sarin attack in Syria
The American media has blacked out an account by Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh demonstrating that President Barack Obama and the US government lied when they claimed to have proof that the Syrian government carried out a sarin gas attack last August on areas near Damascus held by US-backed “rebels.”

I thought, 'well that is just the network pumping out copy to its affiliates.' But this is going out to ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox simultaneously?!
Unbelievable.
There is always some wire service that supports "news" for information, but for the local station producers and management to not even have enough energy to make something original is frightening.
You always thought, well Fox network is zany, or ABC has to get Mouse House clearance, but this is fucking scary beyond all measure.

One or two or ten times?
On the day after Christmas (the 26th, Boxing Day in the UK) the SALES begin.
UK Sky News was headlining all day on 26th and then on 27th using phrases like "bumper boxing day", "boxing day bonanza" and "boxing day sales frenzy" with carefully framed footage of small crowds apparently frantically shopping in Central London and elsewhere.
But when I ventured out at lunchtime on 27th in my SW London suburb, I saw no more people out shopping than on a regular Saturday. No bonanzas, no bumpers and no sales frenzies going on at all. The shopping mall was not at all busy. I saw very few people with handfulls of stuff.
My conclusion: Sky News were deliberately overhyping sales activity to get it going at all. My prediction is that this year's Xmas/New Year sales will be a wash out. Sky News won't report that of course.
Damn right Tyler! And they keep these histories out of sight to minimize our thinking that would get in the way.

here we are, on the edge of a second Cuban missile crises in Eastern Europe, with half the planet preparing to go to war with each other and we get...
this
remember when things got tense over Syria? how the MSM simply reused to even mention the Russian naval build in the med? finally they did quote several politicians as expressing concern that any US military action may spark a direct confrontation, but even those were buried deep and not part of the headline or bi- line so the average headline scanner most likely skipped out and went directly to sports or entertainment. I found that strange given how far they went out of their way to hype N. Korea's nuclear threats, which was par for the course.
and now, with Russia directly and in plain language threatening a nuclear first strike over the expansion of the so- called missile defense shield in eastern Europe, barely a whisper, a few none headline pieces that play it off as "no big deal".
why? if you think about it, it doesn't make sense, "never let a good crises go to waste" right? so why aren't Putin's quotes, directly stating Russia will use nukes against what he sees as NATO aggression and a direct threat to Russian national security in huge bold headlines? why are they not hyping the shit out of this? what better way to further get the sheeple on board with the whole DHS, mega surveillance, central planned police state? as a whole we have become increasingly apathetic to the whole terrorist routine and more and more people (even some in the MSM) are beginning to at least question what the point and purpose of the DHS really is. but Russian nukes? that's a different story altogether isn't it? that is something to be afraid of, that is something to justify outrageous, limitless deficit spending on.
with the right spin it's the choice between preserving freedoms and civil liberties or halving your city not just attacked by some extremists with planes, guns or pressure cooker bombs, but halving it turned to ash. jackpot.

I keep in mind the words of my dear departed father, who worked for a news-producing organization and fully understood what they did --
"STOP PROPAGANDIZING ME"
my brother used to be in radio. there are services out there that provide a daily script for shows a few games, current events, etc.
it's easier to roll into the studio just before your 6 am shift, and start reading. who wants to show up at 2 or 3 and start putting together a show everyday....
Anyone that watches this video showing video clips from multiple "networks" all using the same phrase, word for word, and still doesn’t believe that it is all just shadows on the cave wall, an illusion, is just fooling themselves.
Propaganda starts and ends with what you know and believe. If you don't know much about and believe in freedom, then you will only know the freedom that they let you know and believe in.
Freedom, real freedom, is the freedom from aggression. Slavery comes in the form of aggression, supported by lies. Aggression and lies are slavery.

Will consumer spending improve?
Yes, because real incomes will grow, and the savings rate has room to decline.
I doubt that real incomes will out pace real inflation.
Spend, spend spend... and I don't waste your time trying to save anything is how I read that answer given.
From what I saw with my own eyes on Black Friday, the people of the USA are gifted with limitless spending power and care not a whit for family, but care a lot for shopping like fucking mad at big box and mall. I saw a mass migration of humanity out of their homes into the cold and snow the day after thanksgiving, all swarming into what seems like endless retail strip malls and big boxes, plus the giant conventional mall. I took my daughter to a movie playing at the mall theater "Hunger Games, girl on fire". What I saw in the mall in general was spending on a vast scale, stores that sell candles or bath soaps as their only lines filled with shoppers buying fucking bath soaps, and candles. Electronic stores were awash with phone shoppers and video game buyers, mostly young and seemingly locked and loaded with money to spend. None of this addes up with jobs numbers and income numbers, plus the % of people outside the work force.
I simply don't know how Americans can spend like this, I make a decent income and I can not afford to shop like they do. Credit is given as the reason, but fuck, you can only service so much debt!
I'm so broke I can't even drive by the Malls.
Even around here the shopping season was down, I for sure saw fewer shoppers going back and forth to work.
I will say, however, the Friday after Thanksgiving the nearest Wallyworld had overflow parking.
You sound like me circa 2005, wondering how in the fuck people around me could afford the houses they were buying.
The crisis is about to lap itself again.

FF to 22 minutes - The question that is "up for grabs." This is what the goal is.
This is not uncommon. Stephen Coal-Bear and Jon Stewart also do a nightly segment of the repeated starkingly similar headlines at every level of media.
The messenger is working for the enemy is the point and if you'd look around, you'd see that the country is collapsing into it's fucking footprint and this is how it is done.

It has been shown many times in the past that the left sends out talking points to the media that is then aped identically by the entire lot of them. It is getting extremely disturbing that our govt is now feeding the propaganda to the gullible press to try to affect our behavior at even this level. We truly have become sheople.
Did anyone else notice how Ron Paul was suddenly a "third tier" candidate, simultaneously across all networks during the primaries?
common core education plus common core news equals common core people. it is important to the survival of the nation that everyone goose step in unison. any haphazard, uncoordinated or variation of the accepted goose step will be a ticket to a special .gov sanctioned goose stepping school where you will be encouraged to stay as long as you want until you get your goose stepping skills up to acceptable standards. set your goals high and achieve them. be the best goose stepper in your community.
To Americans' own detriment, people have a blind faith in the media. Even worse, most people trust and depend on their corrupt government. This brain-dead belief allows the bankers and government to commit crimes against their own people and yet shamelessly claim that it is for the common good (Ben and Barack have taken this to the extreme). This is contrary to most of the world that people become more and more suspicious of their leaders. I am afraid that, when people do realize that they have been had, it is too late. Nothing could be done.
How does this even happen? Is there some subscription service that these local news organizations get their fluff pieces from?
Okay...that was just flat-out f*cking CREEPY!!!

This clip had nothing on the recent "Duck Dynasty" misdirection.
Why all of the major news media outlets were all at the same time concerned with one guy saying some nasty things about gays is beyond me.
I'd never watched the show until yesterday, only because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
After watching parts of two episodes (lucky for me they were running a "marathon"), I concluded that the show was quite possibly the most mind-numbingly moronic production to ever come out of TV-land, and, considering their past performance, that's saying something.
Best to just tune it all out.
Just so you know... Duck Dynasty is on the "A & E" channel. Yes... the ARTS and ENTERTAINMENT channel.
Duck Dynasty... A&E...

G Dubya is making a comeback, ya know.
I all ask...have ever asked actually...is that they do it without any clothes on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrMu-WrkBTs And yes i'm totally serious. "I wanna see the goods before i buy."

It's simple. The Jews want all of your money, and they want you in debt.
Not that hard to figure out, people.
Mockingbird Media at it again
"The uploader has not made this video available in your country"
Thanks fellas :(
Never understood why anyone would do that. It's not as though it's difficult to find the clip elsewhere but it sure does make it a pain in the arse.

The paid down-arrow tiny-trolls had a hissy fit on this thread......even the innocuous comments got double-downed. Ha ha, beat ya to it I downed myself!
miiisssssed one, you down-arrow assholes. fuck, you trolls are fast! ha ha ha. waste your time trying to find it! beat you to it again, I downed myself.....ouch, ya got me again....
"Unidentified low-level trolls attacked the subversive underground Zeero Hedgehog comment thread late today, upsetting the balance of nature with an unprecedented number of dreaded Down Arrow strikes. The trolls will be identified by NSA surveillance and rewarded with a trip to the White House, a beer with an approving POTUS and a night of frivolity in the Lincoln Bedroom."
Well, I will run through the board and green arrow almost everyone. I often do something like that on threads that I do not even post on. Everyone knows my policy which is if I feel the need to give out a red arrow I should at least explain why. What about a particular comment is so offensive that there is the need to disparage the poster?
In fact, the red arrow still has value because it causes me to stop and read the post. It is like a stop sign for me and of course I faithfully obey everything the .gov healthcare website says. Because we are ZeroHedgers, we sometimes read...I think we actually read a lot of things and sometimes we get into a certain mode of thinking and then spout something off that seems non sequitur. You don't red arrow people for doing that.
Basically, the more trolls that roll through here, with such awesome debate skills as they have, can fuck right off. Just because you have red does not mean that I will not read your post or reply. In fact, it makes me want to read it MOAR. You never know though, I might be tracking the red voters IPs as we speak. After all, they sent a command for a red from a client to a server somewhere now didn't they? Perhaps they should think about that fact.
Peace.
Translation: Retailers have an overload of cheaply made chinese crap they need to get rid of so just put it on your 29.99% APR credit card.
The problem is that we already have too much worthless shit cluttering up our lives and living rooms. The last thing we need is more cheap crap. For fuck sakes, those two children of ours have more more toys that they don't play with than all of us ZHers combined had when we we were kids. These toys suck. Mrs. M (and her mother) overcompensate for Soviet times. Meanwhile I still have the very first gun I ever bought. I earned money for that gun by mowing lawns, raking leaves or doing whatever shit job I could for folks and I remember that it seemed to take forever to save enough cash. I was 12 years old at the time.
Finally, one day, I had enough cash to buy the rifle. I have killed over 20 deer with that rifle and it is still good yet and can easily kill 20 more. I have never had to throw the rifle away because it broke like some cheap plastic chinee piece of shit. Sure, I have much nicer rifles that I have purchased over the years but that basic bolt action rifle, every time I look it, reminds me of all I had to do just to buy it and that means something at least to me.
If you are going to buy 1,2 or 10 of anything then make it count for something.
you could play this shit in front of the bosses of all these networks a hundred times and they still wouldn't give a flying fuck
so long as the network makes money of your asses
stop spending and cancel your fucking cable now - that's how to respond to this
Looks like Bob Pissonme and "Clueless' Joe Kernan.....checked in and DOWNVOTED the entire comment stack!
