Muppet Freak is back...kinda

[newsmanfan]

Sorry PHX is so back*sswards...they recently upgraded the terminals down here, and while it's decent, it's no great shakes either.

If you have a laptop equipped with WiFi capability, do what I do: write at home, drag the laptop to the library to post.

And fer frog's sake man...get some govt assistance! There is no way you don't qualify for food cards at least!

Hoping you hang in there, and wishing you unlimited A/C.

Hope you're library WiFi is better than mine. I don't really ever use it, but I've seen people trying. They can't get on and spend an hour having problems with it, and ask some librarian for assistance who has never touched a computer in her life, then she asks another who's just as clueless, so then the guy decides to leave. Or something to that effect.

I have an antiquated webtv so all this talk about wifi doesn't apply.

Looks like i will be losing the electricty (so bye bye a/c...) At least the one good thing about a completely empty refrigerator is not having to worry about its contents once it no longer works.

This one's a "non-Muppet" post (though i threw in a classic Muppet moment) but still lots of fun!

Last week, i teased that a new feature is on its way to Muppet Freak:

...and now here we go with Part 1 which takes a look at the Henson/Chick-Fil-A brouhaha in my typical "take-no-prisoners" manner (and if you think THIS is out there. keep in mind that this is just the "Good Business" segment and i'm just getting warmed up for Part Two!)

You know, I really have to commend you for that article. You helped me to look even further into the whole issue and make more realizations than I did before, even if I may not agree with every little opinion expressed in this article. You really handled this with such maturity and responsibility, instead of just saying "CFA did something evil. JHC spoke out against it. JHC's right, CFA's wrong, the end," like some people do. I really appreciate how you shed light into all of the business practices of the JHC regarding this (them keeping the opposing comments was a nice touch), making me be able to further appreciate the JHC. Even your proposition to donate to GLAAD, that was done in such a manner that was respectful to everyone, regardless of their views on the issue, they have no choice but to respect that. Your viewpoint you took while writing this was tremendous, and I really have to appreciate that.

What exactly is part two? Will it have something to do with us constantly getting screwed over for Muppet Show season 4 and 5 DVD sets?

You'll have to wait til it goes up to find out (probably next week since my net connection's being fussy this weekend) but that is a very very good guess!

"Bad Business" has been pushed back this week so that we may instead remember Jerry Nelson (and propose a Jerry Nelson Day):
