Obama Requests Extension For Analog TV Shutdown. Confused Grandparents Rejoice, But Dont Really Know Whats Happening.

 

President-elect Barack Obama requested Congress extend the analog television cut-off date because inadequate funding and flaws in the converter box program. You know, because a bunch of people are stupid. And dumb. Mad dumb. John Podesta, co-chair of the Obama-Biden transition team, requested that “the cut-off date (February 17th) for analog signals should be reconsidered and extended”. The letter was sent this Thursday to the chairs and ranking Republicans on the House Energy & Commerce Committee and Senate Commerce Committee. Apparently there is some concern that the inbreds will freak out and blame the new president when their picture-boxes stop working shortly after his inauguration. So better to postpone the shutdown and educate the yokels before things get out of hand. Uh-oh, and speaking of getting out of hand — where’d my penis go?
