I am by no means defending the president, but the one reason people seem to think he is so terrible is because of all the negative media coverage. If the media had a positive view on some of Bush's action it have lead to everyone feeling differently. In a age where there are 24/7 cable news channels, and hundreds of times more coverage on the internet is increasingly negative, is it possible not to be a screw-up?

Yeah the police can waste their time enforcing fireworks laws when they ought to be worrying about other bigger, more severe problems.

The digital TV transition actually will change relatively very few peoples lives. The only people who will feel the change are the ones that don't have satellite or cable, its the people with the over-the-air antennas on the tops of the houses.
This transition opens up a very valuable part of the RF spectrum that can be used much more efficiently than by sending our television signals that can be put on almost any part of the spectrum. Applications like wireless cellphone systems and wireless internet are able to take advantage of this spectrum because it allows their signals to transmit more efficiently. In the recent auction that sold the currently used 700Mhz spectrum the FCC included a clause that will require that a certain piece of these airwaves would be able to be used by Emergency Services for communications when other forms of communication would not do.
The FCC regulates how much power organizations can put behind their broadcasts, television stations, because they only send (and don't receive) can have a lot more power and carry further no matter which part of the spectrum they are on. The new allocations of the old Analog TV spectrum will help the U.S. catch up to countries like Japan in the broadband internet arena. Those same people that have to buy a $20 box to watch television will now have access to high speed Internet which can provide many times more content, much more targeted content than the five channels they receive from that TV antenna. In a time when everything seems to be moving towards Internet delivery this is a very important move, especially for people in rural areas.

I would thoroughly enjoy it if someone told me I was making too much money...

momoftwo, you really have no idea when it comes to coaching, you are a parent. Old-fashioned coaches are hard on their players, you are not old-fashioned.
Spanishpride, what gives you the right to critize how someone else has lived their life, frankly its none of your business.
Hartford, you are a hypocrite saying 'I may have respected what you said if you had put your name next to your statement!' Yet, I see no name next to yours. I guess you live in hartford so that narrows it down to about 25 people.
What was said about Hispanics at EHS is true, 49% may make up the population of EHS, yet, I saw no where near that percentage participating in sports. Its not that they can't, its because they don't choose to, there is nothing wrong with that just get understand how it works before you bring racism into something, it escalates everything and in this argument has nothing to do with anything.

Contrary to popular belief, your kids probably will yell and cuss every once in awhile. Take it from a former player, if Coach B did anything for me it was positive.

I can't believe so many people are still discussing how they think one person is so terrible. I played for both Coach Bloomquist and Coach Lowe, and I don't even want to imagine what my life would be like if I hadn't. They both taught me more than any of you can understand. They taught me to be tough, not some weak person that goes home and complains to their parents when I get my ass ripped. Everytime I got my yelled at I deserved it, and you know what? I fixed my mistakes. The people here that are talking about Coach Bloomquist in a negative way, probably were the ones on the end of the bench, parents of those kids, or people that just get caught up in gossip. When you talk about Coach like this it is insulting to me because he caused me to become so much of what I am today, and I believe he does that for all his players that trust him. I also believe that when people that have nothing better to do with their lives but bash a high school coach they ought to think about getting a real job/life.
I believe parents have no idea what goes on in a locker room, nor should they, they don't understand it just as all of you have clearly pointed out.

Wow, if you think either Coach Lowe or Coach Bloomquist's coaching styles are degrading then you have no reason to be playing or even watching sports, they aren't trying to hurt your feelings they are trying to get you to play the way they know you can. Lazy/Weak-minded people don't understand that and they get angry and quit or they go on to the local paper's website and post anonymously about how supposedly bad someone is.

I guarantee if there is someone on the sideline that has the talent they either haven't proved themselves in practice or have a very good reason for not playing (i.e.: bad attitude, inconsistencies, grades, etc.). Coming from a former player, if your children or anyone else has and does what it takes to play, they would be playing.
The recognition thing? This is dumb, quit complaining about recognition the only thing that matters is whether you win or lose, maybe if you had a good game you can pat yourself on the back but it really doesn't matter if you lose. Recognition is saved for after the season, things like All-State, All-District, and All-League.
