Another money-making scam by our "beloved" government officials. You'd think that after paying for their salaries with our hard-earned money (for those of us who weren't born with silver spoons in our mouths and/or got their current positions due to nepotism), they'd give us something for free, not a coupon with an expiration date! Cable company execs and board members are also probably leaping for joy. Will we ever get anyone in office who actually knows what it means to struggle financially, live paycheck to paycheck, live within a budget, etc.? Oh well...I'm done ranting.

Since I was too busy working overtime and not really concerned with the converter box hype, mine expired (like others who are more concerned with taking care of responsibilities and life than with watching mind-numbing tv). I guess I'll have to buy a converter box at full price in order to watch football.

Ok, now I'm done ranting
