  • Down here in the SE corner, our closest TV stations are KYOU out of Ottumwa and KTVO out of Kirksville. KTVO is Sinclair-owned and has the production quality of a junior high AV club. KYOU is marginally better. But it’s all we got, so meh.

    Paper-wise, the Ottumwa Courier is decent. Not a lot of content though. They have a hard time getting reporters to stick around.

    I used to read the DSM Register, but it seems like it’s more of a Des Moines local anymore. Not a lot from around the state. (Which, it’s a paper in Des Moines, that would make sense.)

    I pretty much just read the local weekly and browse around otherwise. Not much I want to keep up on. I want to be completely oblivious and in the sticks.


  • Ok, well, put out more likable candidates that get votes then. Stop expecting people to vote for a candidate just because they “aren’t the other guy.” You want people to vote for your candidate? Stop cherry-picking the next anointed one and saying “here they are, vote for them!”

    Goddamn. And Democrats wonder why people think they (we, since I’m registered as one) are so out-of-touch and condescending.
















  • Microsoft: “Please use Edge!”

    Me: “No thanks!”

    Microsoft, 6 months later: “Please use Edge!”

    Me: “No, thanks.”

    Microsoft, when I visit Bing: “Please use Edge.”

    Me: “No. Thanks.”

    Microsoft, when I open Outlook: “We will be opening links in Edge instead of your default browser. To switch back, go to your preferences.”

    Me: “Motherfucker, I think we have a difference in viewpoints.”
