I guess maybe they, the government, needs to go over to the NEA to ask how to pass a test since they flunked this one so badly.

I enjoyed having Fox on my set while my wife had to look at that sign while watching CBS. Same satellite hookup but one got killed and the other just kept on going.

News travels fast these days. Something happens on the east coast and everybody around the world knows about it in less than a minute.

This national EBS being used for what people think it's being used for is bupkis.
They had to find out how effectively they could shut things down in order to keep us from learning about what is going on when they get ready to take us down and establish something that we won't accept when it comes. This "test" has convinced me that I have to buy firearms to protect my wife and myself when they come after us. I have never owned a firearm in all my nearly 79 years but I see the need now.

There is no reason for it anyways. So I hope they see their failure, and quit.

I had the radio on and it had the typical emergency signal sound for about ten seconds and then nothing just blank airtime. I knew what it was but no message came through or even a statement that it was only a test.

If you made it 79 years why oh why must you get a gun now? Don't worry Obama's election is three years old now. He wouldn't have waited this long. I wouldn't have let him.
