This article, Call waiting: Cell phone interference disrupts some police, fire radios talks about the interference that cell phones are making in the police and fire radios.

I agree with the assertion that this will cost somebody’s life, and soon. Lack of communication will get you killed when you are a police officer.

There are two plans on the table, first is to make the cell companies clean up their act and equipment and stop producing the interference. Second is to reband the spectrum so that public safety and cell phone frequencies are not so close.

Nextel, the major culprit in this story, has a plan they can profit on. They pay for rebanding the public safety radios and give up some of their spectrum (costing them $850,000,000) and getting a different part of the spectrum, worth about $3,000,000,000 (that’s billion). The problem is this plan will take about 3-4 years to do.

I like to see both solutions implemented. Get rid of the interference now, and reband everybody to permanently solve the problem.

I just don’t like to see someone profit off of a problem they are the source of. It makes it seem that it was done at least somewhat deliberately.

Well, it seems like the bomb on the tracks was by the same group of bastards that set off the bombs on the trains. It also seems like most of the group has been killed or tracked down. Terrorists Warn Spain of ‘Inferno’.

The terrorists want Spanish forces out of Iraq as of yesterday the 4th, which the only way that could have happened was if they had just abandoned all of their equipment on the ground as-is and just jumped on the next flight home.

Since the deadline was not met, will what is left of this or any other terror cells start new bombings? Of course, now that the first demand was given into, there will be more demands, and more, and more. How about, “More Spaniards will die if the Prime Minister doesn’t appear on TV and hop in a counter-clockwise direction with one foot in the air?” That is just as sensible as any demand the terrorists have.

I was slightly wrong in my last post about Air America.

Normally, syndicated shows are bought by the station. The station then uses the commercial time to pay for the show fees, operating expenses and then make a profit.

Air America is having to pay to have it’s message put on the air. The station(s), recognizing sucky programming when they see it, want their money up front from AA because they are doubtful that they can actually sell advertising space on these “shows.”

Now comes this article, WLIB plans to go Black at night.

This was an all-Black station, until AA came along. Now it’s only Black between Midnight and 5am. And the listeners of the station aren’t too happy with all of these White folk coming in and taking over their air time.

This station used to reach out to all types of Black listeners. Now they are going to carry garbage like “the O’Frankin Factor.” If AA was planning on driving the Black vote to the GOP, this will do it in very short order.

It seems that Senator Kerry is in a bit of a quandary. Politics cloud Kerry’s Easter plans. Being a pro-choice Catholic, his Bishop is threatening to withhold Communion if he doesn’t straighten up and adhere to the church’s teachings and positions.

Which is maybe why he’s been stumping in non-Catholic churches lately.

Mr. Kerry was in St. Louis on March 28, but he sidestepped the Communion issue by attending New Northside Missionary Baptist Church, where he quoted a few verses from the second chapter of James.

Yesterday, Mr. Kerry again worshipped at a Protestant congregation: Charles Street African Methodist Episcopal Church in Dorchester, Mass.

It seems to me that he should go Protestant so he can avoid all of his problems with the Catholic Church.

But I’m just a crazy guy that lives in Memphis.

Until the cable guy gets here. I just hope it’s not Jim Carrey….

I’ve got business to do after I get back on-line, so you’ll get a double dose of bloggedy goodness tomorrow.
