My internet service provider is abominable (Rant)
if you thought this post was just a computer related rant, you still have a chance to leave,

This is a rant about the right wing trash they put on their homepage.

First of all, we all know that the Democrats created The REA (Rural Electrification Agency) during the New Deal to bring electricity to rural areas, because the electric companies (being corporate bloodsuckers controlled by Republicans) didn't give a shit about the people in those areas. All they cared about was their pocketbooks and amassing more wealth and power ... sort of like today.

And rural electric cooperatives were created - again, by the Democrats - to actually get the electricity to the people. And they did a magnificent job of wiring up rural America.

Now, many of these cooperatives, like my very own Central Texas Electric, have gone and got themselves into the Internet business. helping to bring 21st century communications to areas that would probably still be in the 19th if it werent for, that's right, Democrats.
That is well and good.

So why is it that CTESC (Central Texas Electric Service Corp) have on their homepage links to news from the 19th century, namely Worldnet News? All I have to do is click on the homepage of CTESC to get the latest in news and punditry from the likes of Anne Coulter, Pat Boone, et al.

@%#&!!!##**&@#$!!!!! That is all.
