The set's not hooked to cable or antenna. It picks up only one channel. A very private one. Unlike cable, it always has something good on. No matter the time, whatever is playing is just starting as I tune in. How can this be? It's my video collection. Hi, I'm Jay. An occasional (very) voice actor lurking in the central Ohio hinterlands. And this is Jays' Tee Vee. My little corner of wierdness on the web. Movies, cartoons, anime. Oh yeah! ... WARNING ... Some politics.

About Alex Jones
About Alex Jones
I'm sure a lot of you have seen the CNN "conversation" between Alex Jones & Piers Morgan. Some may have been appalled, others cheering. While it might have hurt "the cause", I lean somewhat toward the latter.
Yes, Mr. Jones could have toned it down a bit. He could have been more eloquent & less emotional. He could have been more "civil & respectable". But ... You know ... Mr. Jones didn't do what a lot of us haven't thought of: Get in the face of one of those coiffed/manicured & smug Henson-like media puppets & give him a piece of ones' mind. I understand Mr. Jones' frustration probably more than Mr. Jones himself.
Mr. Morgan has made a more than good living with that GENUINE British accent & air of FAUX superiority. Somehow many of the lemming-like American people enjoy what the blue/white collar Briton & others of the "chattering classes" have had to endure for literally centuries from their own parasitic aristocracy.
One should keep in mind that Mr. Morgan does nothing more than what a trained poodle does at the command of his masters.
While Alex Jones was correct about the Second Amendment not being about duck hunting, he should also have pointed out it also had nothing to do with crime either ... A smoke screen Mr. Morgan kept falling back on.
Mr. Jones should have kept pointing out that it was about protection from overreaching government. Not duck hunting. Not crime. Not "the children". The possibility of government tyranny is more to be feared than a madman with a gun. To wit: Government gone wrong has caused more death in the world than all the "free lancers" combined. Think about it.
By the way ... I'm AGAINST Mr. Morgan being deported. He should be "forced" (Note the quotes.) to stay & "languish" in a free America (Provided, of course, it stays that way.).

That Elmo Guy

To say I hate Elmo would be a bit much. I do have a strong dislike for him. I'll explain. Some things need clearing up first.
A lot of kids seem to be under the impression he's this cute, little, fuzzy, red monster kid on Sesame Street. Older folks even think he's a muppet, an imaginary character. Wrong. He actually is a real person, believe it or not.
Sure, he's totally bizarre looking, thus lending to the impression of being nonexistant, but nevertheless, he is real. Crazy as it sounds, there are a LOT of folks out there, some in media, who you'd think weren't real but are. Conversly, there are those not so weird looking who actually are figments of the medias' imagination (Paris Hilton & Barack Obama come to mind. I remember reading about Ted Koppel "being one of Jim Hensons' more fabulous creations".).
He's also not a kid. He's now in his forties & from what I heard of him since he was a frustrated drama student at Ohio State University, he hasn't changed much. I had the displeasure of knowing Elmo back then & the following is how I came to look askance of him.
He was alway mooching off everyone. He owes me & a few others money. Never tried paying for anything. Always bumming food, beer, & weed off people. Throw a party, he wouldn't have the common courtesy to byob. Not even a bag of chips.
He'd never hit on anyone unless she was married or spoken for in some way. Right in front of the husband or boyfriend too! What was up with that? Guy was low class/no class.
Always regaling us with these pretentious ravings about what a great actor he was. Talked on & on of how a thespian of his caliber was being wasted & the world would one day know him for the serious star he was. Bet he never thought he'd end up the way he did.
Whenever he got up in front of an audience, he was pretty much the way you see him on Sesame St. Of course, he was a lot more vulgar & nasty then. I'm not knocking his success. From all accounts, he's doing well & I won't begrudge him that. But .....
He seems to be trying to forget where he came from. "Comparing notes" with others & it's pretty much the same all around: Doesn't return calls. Avoids you on the street & acts like he wishes you weren't around when he can't. Acts like he never knew you & is embarrassed when you talk to him with his "new friends" present. That sort of thing.
Yeah. He's always made it hard to like him. Now more so than before. Darn Elmo.
