They'll never take me alive

My SEIU?

Two of the damnedest things ... 1. A week ago BGE replaced the meters in our neighborhood with units that could be read remotely.  Took maybe 3 minutes w/o power.  Yesterday we get a notice from BGE that says "many of the homes in your area have been undercharged for their service, but you are not one of them.  Have a nice day."  My wife's friend two doors down got the same letter, except hers said, "you have been grossly undercharged for years.  We'll let it slide but be prepared for the real world." This makes no sense to me.  How could a new meter recall data from a mechanical meter ?  2. We,  both of us, were anxious to watch the morning media to see how the election spin went. Guess what?  Every local television channel in Baltimore and Washington came up with this message. I called the number and am told they will reset ourset top boxes.  They do, and now I can't get any channel.  I'm transferred to a technician who asks "How can I help you?"  GHAK! I tell her, and in a few minutes she explains that the reason I can only get local channels is they have an outage in my area.  No, I tell her, I can only "Not Get" local channels, until you reset me, and NOW I get no channels.  That's because we have an outage in your are, and the estimated time to have you up and running is 2PM.  It's pretty damned obvious what's going on.  Payback by Obama for calling him a two-bit chiseling wetback mfcs.
