Strange bedfellows: Televangelists Hope To Smite A La Carte Cable: “The televangelists, who often side with the conservative advocacy groups, staunchly oppose the a la carte plan, because it would likely remove them from a good number of people’s TV sets.” I think they’re afraid of the truth. As long as their programming is carried by default they can delude themselves into thinking they’re making a difference. I’d love to see natural market forces squash that delusion like a bug.

My house is falling apart.
- Water damage from leaky clothes washer hose? Check.
- Living room carpet destroyed by dogs? Check.
- Cracked bathtub with subflooring most likely wet and warped? Check.
- Water heater drain valve leak and damaged utility closet floor. Check.
- Unfinished remodeling work? Check.
- Not even a smidgeon of equity left in my house after the garage project? Check.
This homo(wner) shit is for the birds. Sometimes I miss apartment life. Actually, I miss the townhome in Arvada, CO, I shared with a roommate in the late 90’s. Except the roommate was kind of a b… er, kind of difficult to live with. Ah well.
Before that I rented an apartment in a well-run complex in Wheatridge, CO. When the water heater was rusty and spewing forth reddish-brown water, the management had it replaced within two days, no questions asked. It was awesome.
