Believe it or not, there are still people who watch TV using rabbit-ear antennae. And either they are too lazy or too stupid to get the taxpayer-provided converter boxes that have been available for a couple of years. Ever the populists, half-witted democrats yesterday extended the switch until June.....The House of Representatives Thursday voted to postpone the country's shift from analog to digital TV broadcasts until June 12.
TV stations are scheduled to shut off their analog, over-the-air signals on Feb. 17. Many Democrats contended that millions of consumers were still not prepared for the switch. Older TV sets that aren't equipped or modified to receive digital signals will go dark once the transition occurs.
We've known about this switch for like 3 years. If people haven't prepared yet, they aren't likely to before June. I refuse to believe that democrats are doing this because Luther in his trailer outside Paduka, Kentucky might have to view scrambled porn for a while. What will motivate these loafers to get off their butts and go pick up their free box more than a dark TV?
