  Thank you

  I really appreciate seeing this. I have all but given up on reading news anymore because I just can't trust the writing at all. It's not reporting anymore it's spinning everything to whatever you want it to mean. I think you guys are great and I trust your reporting and believe you're fair and honest, even if sometimes you don't agree with it. Bravo man.

  I laughed at myself

  I found that since I live in Nebraska, when called a flyover state because people fly over us to get to somewhere important, that I wouldn't care. I laughed at myself when I read this that I kinda cared a little lol. I also bristled a little having my legislator being called "Podunk" lol. We do love our UNL football but calling it a religion might be a little much. I love you guys and not flipping out over this, you did make me laugh a little by getting me to react in a way that I didn't expect but I am flipping you off at them moment :)

  Not surprised.

  It seems that I have slowly been just giving up on watching/reading any news at all anymore due to whatever. The only news I read anymore is this site so please don't fuck it up for me.

  new provider in town

  I just got shown that a company called Allo Communications is boring for direct fiber to the house in my area. I couldn't find any info on who actually owns it though. I was thinking that if it was real they could put a hurt on TWC. If anyone has the info on who is behind Allo, that would be good info.

  smh

  I can't believe how cynical I have become but I just can't imagine believing anything at all that anyone from any dept of the federal government says about anything anymore lol. I seriously question anything and everything they ever say about anything. Why bother? They're just going to lie more and in the end, no one is going to do anything about any of it anyway. Wtf has happened to me lol

  I realize she didn't own it. That's what I was stating. Own your opinion. She tried to make excuses for her actual opinion. Why not just say, That's what it has to do with this case.

  I hate it when...

  people speak their minds and then feel like they have to apologize for it just because someone doesn't like it. I would have way more respect for someone if they just owned it and said, this is what I said and thought and you don't have to like it. If you're offended, well then tough shit lol. Just turning into a bunch of pusses it seems to me.

  yes, I just got one of these txt's warning me just a few days ago. I immediately got on att chat and challenged them on it. They told me that the txt is a random one and that they looked at my account and that I do have unlimited. To trust them on this, that they will do nothing of the sort when it comes to threats of throttling my data lol.
