What’s up with Cox Cable?!?
At first I thought it was our router. It was a bit old, so I got a new one. It had good reviews, so I was confident that would solve the problem. It didn’t.
I checked the cable modem and the logs showed repeated errors, so I call Cox tech support—an aggravating ordeal.
I hate talking to machines. It’s demeaning and I refuse to do it, except Cox had designed their system to force you to. I finally figured out that if I kept pressing “0” enough I’d get a human. It works after several minutes. They really, really want you to embarrass yourself talking to a machine. I guess they think that’s funny or something.
Well, they said I’d have to get a new modem since my current one was so old. I checked prices and decided I’d rather put up with the connection outages than pay to replace the modem, at least for now. Then their robot called and said I was eligible for a free modem.
Time for another bout of being the butt of Cox Cable sick sense of humor. I called to ask about it, got transferred three times and the person finally said that if I got a free one I had to pay a $15 installation fee, but if I bought one it was only $10 and they waived the installation fee. (They must have been rolling around on the floor over that one). I agreed to pay the $10 and got a really cheap looking modem in the mail a few days later, which I had to install myself. I connected it but it had to “verify” my connection first. It never would. I called tech support and they had me run through their usual hoops several times before they flipped the switch on their end that makes it work.
My internet connection is exactly the same; dropping every five minutes or so for about a minute, then coming back.
A friend on Facebook posted that she was having problems with her internet. She lives in another state, and uses Cox Cable. At least a dozen of her friends commented that they too were using Cox Cable and having problems, all from various locations. I posted asking the rest of my friends if any of them were having problems with Cox Cable and got the same kind of responses (for those who still used CC).
Yesterday afternoon the internet went down and wouldn’t come back up. I call CC tech support and they ran me through their hoops, except I stopped short of rebooting any computers. I told them it was obvious the problem was at their end and I wasn’t accepting the conclusion that it was my equipment. The internet finally came back on after I threatened to switch to DSL.
I tried switching the DNS on my router to OpenDNS, and that seemed to make things go smoother last might, but this morning it’s back to the usual.
I did find out that Cox is able to tell what router (if any) you are using, and they not only sell routers, but they sell “networking” packages, so one guess is that they are intentionally screwing with people who use routers in order to con them in to buying a router from them or buy their “networking” package. Hopefully some enterprising lawyer will jump on that and get a nice class action suit going.
Meanwhile, my internet is spotty and I make my living using the internet. And lately it’s not been much of a living since clients (who will actually pay) are getting more and more scarce.
Cox Cable’s a humongous corporation and they seem to have the business model of squeezing people already hurt by the bad economy. Since DSL has earned such a bad name (except for AT&T’s new Uverse, which isn’t available in this area) Cox has more or less a monopoly. That’s a bad thing.

Thursday’s Links
Wall Street Journal: Wal-Mart teams up with unions to support socialized health care. Turns out the economic impact will hit Wal-Mart’s competitors much more than it will them.
CNS News: MSM bias: When Obama golfs – it’s fun; When Bush golfed – it was irresponsible.
CNN: Cynthia McKinney assumed she could ignore the law in Israel like she ignores it here. She was wrong.
WND: MSM censoring salient facts about the new Duke rape case. Rapist is a homosexual; victim is Black. (Homosexual Duke employee molests his adopted 5-year-old son, then tries to rent him to other homosexual pedophiles)
Washington Times: Sotomeyer part of the original Borking. (Are those chickens I hear, coming home to roost?)

Following the money
Which network is the most notoriously pro-Obama?
MSNBC/NBC by a mile.
Who owns MSNBC and NBC?
General Electric.
Which company turns out to be the biggest recipient of government’s “bank rescue” program, in spite of not even being a bank?
General Electric.
The Washington Post explains…
The company did not initially qualify for the program, under which the government sought to unfreeze credit markets by guaranteeing debt sold by banking firms. But regulators soon loosened the eligibility requirements, in part because of behind-the-scenes appeals from GE.
As a result, GE has joined major banks collectively saving billions of dollars by raising money for their operations at lower interest rates. Public records show that GE Capital, the company's massive financing arm, has issued nearly a quarter of the $340 billion in debt backed by the program, which is known as the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, or TLGP. The government's actions have been "powerful and helpful" to the company, GE chief executive Jeffrey Immelt acknowledged in December.
GE's finance arm is not classified as a bank. Rather, it worked its way into the rescue program by owning two relatively small Utah banking institutions, illustrating how the loopholes in the U.S. regulatory system are manifest in the government's historic intervention in the financial crisis….
Unlike other major lenders participating in the debt guarantee program, including Bank of America, Citigroup and J.P. Morgan Chase, GE has never been subject to the Fed's stress tests or its rules for limiting risk. Also unlike firms that have received bailout money in the Troubled Assets Relief Program, or TARP, GE is not subject to restrictions such as limits on executive compensation.
Explains a lot doesn’t it.
Remember when we actually had a free press? Yep, those were the good ole days. But no more. Now we have media giants on the take, selling out to whichever corrupt politicians can funnel enough money to their parent company.

Liberal media lie about arrest of former Honduran president
The details from the WSJ outline why what the MSM are calling a “coup” is anything but.
The Honduran Constitution does not allow the president to initiate changes to their Constitution—he decided to do it anyway. When their Supreme Court told him he wasn’t allowed to—he ignored them. When the HSC (Honduran Supreme Court) warned that anyone trying to run an illegal election would be arrested—the POH (President of Honduras) continued to ignore them.
So the POH, now FPOH (former) was legally arrested and chose to resign and leave the country rather than go to prison. Once outside the country he got all his Communist pals (Chavez, Castro, Ortega, Clinton) to call it a military coup and threaten repercussions.
He was arrested under existing law, by order of the HSC. that is not a coup.
The useful idiots at the various left-lurching media outlets, however, are carrying water for their favorite tin-horn dictators and pretending it was a violent military take-over.
Remember that as you hear them lie about it all day today.

Melvin Simon censors tea party; We can boycott Melvin’s malls
From WorldNetDaily…
[Julianne Thompson, Atlanta Tea Party co-organizer said] "The old Macy's building is on private property, and not owned by Simon Malls, however the mall manager asked the property owner and [me] to come in the office on Thursday of this week, and told us Simon does not want political events on its property. They were also concerned about the fact we were using the term 'protest.' Although the event was on private property, the mall was able to assert authority on the matter due to reciprocal property easement agreements."
Event co-chair Debbie Dooley stated, "Our Atlanta Tea Party team tried for the next day and a half to find an alternative location large enough for the event, and with the proper layout for our vendors, children's activities, and fireworks show, but we could not find anything suitable that would have been available on July 4th."…
But he also connected the dots for those who really wonder:
- Gwinnett Place Mall shut down the Atlanta Tea Party.
- Simon Property Group owns Gwinnett Place Mall.
- Melvin Simon (a Forbes 400 billionaire) is co-chairman of Simon Property Group, Inc.
- Melvin Simon has provided large political contributions to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Al Franken, John Edwards, the DNC and many other Democrats and Democrat organizations.
- Melvin Simon was a major contributor to Barack Obama's inaugural committee and has given at least $1 million to the William J. Clinton foundation.
- Melvin's wife, Bren, personally donated almost $100,000 to various political candidates, was a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton's presidential bid and contributed to President Obama's inaugural committee.
According to Bob Owens at Pajamas Media, the evidence of the motive also was clear.
"The apparent plot was uncovered when blogger and radio talk show host Andrea Shea King noticed an unusual amount of traffic coming to her site earlier this month," he wrote.
“On June 16, Andrea Shea King e-mailed me, questioning a heavy burst of Sitemeter traffic coming from Simon.com….”
By waiting until the last minute, Simon Properties a.k.a. Melvin Simon was able to censor the people of Atlanta and protect his friend Barack Obama. Well, if you’re angry that a filthy-rich Obama supporter used an obscure loophole in the law to censor honest citizens protesting higher taxes, you can do something about it. Below is a list of all Simon Malls in the US. Boycott them, call the mall and tell them why, and call Simon Properties (317-636-1600) and tell them as well.

Observations of the Sanford fiasco
I have yet to read any Conservatives that have anything good to say about Mark Sanford, the South Carolina governor who the MSM went bonkers over earlier this week because he didn’t make any public appearances for a few days. Makes you wonder who knew what at that time, and simply wanted to prime the pump for the story. For those who haven’t been following the news, when he finally surfaced it was to admit he had been having an affair.
Some Conservatives were pretty hostile, like Michelle Malkin, but I can’t say I blame her.
Some where more gentle, like Sarah Palin, but certainly not complimentary.
But unlike affairs that Democrats have, the Media are behaving like a dog with a bacon-covered bone. They aren’t content that there’s consistent condemnation of Sanford's action, they have to howl about it, incessantly.
The hypocrites in the Liberal Media are already whining that Fox News waited to report. That every other news outlet also waited seems irrelevant to these mindless myrmidons.
Of course their goal, as always, is to promote the DNC, in this case by attempting to stain they entire GOP with Sanford’s failings. Ultimately, the result will be to drive m0ore and more people to the alternative media fro reliable news. It seems the MSM is on a suicide course, and they’re halfway there.

Interesting quotes
World Net Daily’s Roger Hedgcock writes…
The U.S. Senate voted unanimously last week to adopt a resolution apologizing for slavery.
Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, lead sponsor of the resolution, said, "You wonder why we didn't do it 100 years ago…."
Senator, you didn't do it 100 years ago because 100 years ago you Democrats were enforcing Jim Crow segregation laws, poll taxes to keep blacks from voting, and riding around in sheets and pointy hats just in case blacks didn't get the message.
Dave Ramsey writes…
So many people believe we operate with a fixed-pie economy. They think money is gone forever if it leaves one place, but this is a faulty premise, because it can just as easily go to another place. My good friend Rabbi Daniel Lapin has a wonderful explanation for how this works. He calls it a comparison of cake versus candles. If you slice a cake and give yourself a bigger piece, there's less for me. But money isn't like the cake; it's like the candles! If you light a candle and use it to light other candles, no candle is diminished. There is even more light!
Communists and socialists believe money is like a cake, and if you get some, there's less left for me. But if you understand and believe that money is more like the candles, then you're probably a capitalist. In capitalism, it doesn't mean you lose just because I win; it can just as easily mean that we both win. Once you get adjusted to this kind of thinking, the marketplace isn't nearly as scary!
