Blanco ain’t coming back!

YES! Not that I’m biased, or anything…
The governor of Louisiana announced at 6:00 pm Central that she won’t seek election in 2007. Not that it mattered anyway, who would vote for her, Michael Brown? Maybe if he was a Louisiana citizen. Unfortunately, this won’t help the Katrina/Rita recovery effort, at least not by a noticeable margin. Why? Because, the stupidity wasn’t just in the state government (although Pandora’s Box had to have been somewhere…), it was in FEMA, in the local governments, as high up as Washington, D.C. Of course those brainwashed Americans, ahem, Democrats (and Kanye West),would have liked for Americans to believe that the Source of All Evil(TM) was directly in President Bush’s administration, but, of course, they’ll leech on any bad story or tradegy and spin it to blame everyone else. No shame, Repubs to it to, but for some reason (Iraq?) Americans are believing it this time. What was I talking about? Oh, yeah. Vote Jindal. Not that I’m biased, or anything.

Just goes to show ya…

For those of you who’ve emailed me worried about all the activity over at Yo.tube on YouTube, and the absence of activity here, don’t worry, the blog will continue, and will be better than ever. I think.

Anyway, I figured you would like to hear the stupid moment of the day!
The Louisiana LEAP and iLEAP tests are coming up, and one school is pushing for students to not just to sleep through it. But this is a little stupid:Focus on this: ELA = 3
Math = 3
Science = 3
Social Studies = 3
3×4=12

You can earn up to eight free dress days


Good luck on ya’ll’s standardized test.

Phone: Fixed!

The screen is back on! And, it only cost $50!

When your phone dies, who do YOU call?

Not Cingular/AT&T. My phone was under warranty, and the screen one day decided to flip off. Yes, flip off. I called AT&T warranty and replacement department, and they said that since there was already damage to the phone, my warranty is void. I proceeded to ask him that if the screen breaks off the phone, and I rarely ever use my phone, then it is a manufacturing defect and that I believe it should be covered under the warranty. He still said, “No.”

Pt. 2: The store
I wanted to so somewhere where the person wasn’t reading off of a script. So I went to my local Cingular store where I bought the phone. They are apparently being fed lines as well. He didn’t take billing, I told him the phone was less than a year old and as had no major falls or anything of that sort. He didn’t even really give me time to look around for me to, regrettably, shell out another hundred dollars or so to get a replacement, instead giving me the business card of a phone repair shop. I understand it’s a small store, and that he’ probably getting paid by the repair shop, but he lost a commission.

Pt.3: The repair.
The shop said they could probably do it, for $50. Not as much as getting a new phone, but I’d be weary of continuing to use the phone, even repaired.
