The fall 2006 TV season was a record in some ways for NBC. One of the biggest things was that NBC was forced to change part of that schedule due to ABC's scheduling of Grey's Anatomy on Thursdays which NBC originally scheduled the now cancelled Studio 60 which was also slated to face CSI on CBS. Now here is the NBC fall 2007 schedule along with some of my comments. All network schedules this will will be posted at central/mountain US time.
New Shows: Bold
New Times: Italics
Sunday
6 PM: Football Night in America
7:15 PM: Sunday Night Football
Comments: No comment except to say that NBC does have better games this season including early season matchups involving Philadelphia, Dallas, Indianapolis, Green Bay, Chicago, and San Diego. Go to NFL.com for details.
Sundays after football
6 PM: Dateline NBC
7 PM: Law & Order
8 PM: Medium
9 PM: Lipstick Jungle
Comments: This is a schedule that might not see the light of day. Frankly there is little sense that both veteran shows would be able to stick it out on Sunday nights. As for Lipstick Jungle, that is a good way to kill one of your most buzzed about new series.
Monday
7 PM: Deal or No Deal
8 PM: Heroes
9 PM: Journeyman
Comments: Not a good Monday night. This schedule gives ABC a good excuse to keep Dancing with the Stars on the night. Journeyman may be a too confusing series on TV and NBC could still have problems at 9 PM Central.
Tuesday
7 PM: Biggest Loser 4
8 PM: Chuck
9 PM: Law & Order: SVU
Comments: I am not sure what flow NBC wants on the night. Biggest Loser fans are not going to stick around for Chuck while Heroes fans might be interested in the series. After about three weeks into the fall season, NBC might be wishing that they made that change.
Wednesday
7 PM: Deal or No Deal
8 PM: Bionic Woman
9 PM: Life
Comments: Can you say failure? Deal or No Deal will do ok, but the rest of the schedule will likely be history by midseason.
Thursday
7:00 PM: My Name is Earl
7:30 PM: 30 Rock
8:00 PM: The Office
8:30 PM: Scrubs
9 PM: ER
Comments: This is namely rerranging the deck chairs on the Titantic. At least Joey isn't still around.
Friday
7 PM: 1 vs 100/Singing Bee
8 PM: Las Vegas
9 PM: Friday Night Lights
Comments: This is a pretty good schedule except that NBC sentenced Friday Night Lights to die on Fridays. Meanwhile, I don't even see success for The Singing Bee while Randy Jackson's new World Moves competition will likely fail on Sundays at midseason.
Saturday
7 PM: Dateline
8 PM: Repeats
9 PM: Repeats
Comments: NBC will throw in a few movies but that is about it.

Another good Article on Gas prices
Here is another good article on gas prices.
http://www.ridgecrestca.com/articles/2007/04/27/news/columnists/colo02.txt
The gist is more proof that gas companies are gouging us at the pump. For the record, I sent an e-mail to the Saudi Arabian Embassy on the heels of arrests of 182 militants who were hell bent on attacking a Saudi oil field. This is the same attack which was followed up with a debate on Fox News where the Neil Cavuto asked if 10 dollar a gallon gas was in our future if the attack went out as planned.

Maybe We would have been better off Under Gore
Last month, I presented evidence that high gas prices were the result of actions to gouge the American people. The proof is in the pudding thanks to our friends at Gasbuddy.com.
This graph shows how bad gouging has been going on for at least six years starting right before 9/11. For the record, the spike near the beginning was the basic fear of gas shortages following the 9/11 terror attacks which were carried out by Vice President Dick Cheney using muslims as pasties. For the record, my stand on 9/11 would have to wait for another day. Still, that is the jumping off point for gas prices in the state and you can see how closely they are intertwined with the average price of gas in the US. Meanwhile, picture in your mind the events of the past six years as you take a look at the skyrocketing prices. It is clear that crude oil and gas prices only started to really rise when we invaded Iraq, got a major boost from Katrina, and thrive on the fact that Bush wants to invade a peaceful country that only wants to have nuclear power in order to better itself. But what Bush really wants is to destroy our navy fleet while ensuring the election of either crown prince Rudy Giuliani or princess Hillary Clinton. For the record, both fit the prototype of using fear in this country to get what they want.

Sorrow at Virginia Tech
I would like to take this time to express sorrow at what happened Monday at Virginia Tech. You know what the news is, but here is a link that may shed light on what actually happened.
http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/april2007/170407Cops.htm
For the most part, the massacre is all about two issues after we get past the fact that police and school officials didn't do their jobs and should face discipline. The cops because they failed to protect students in danger, and school officials because they did too little to protect the students.
The first is gun control. Any sane person knows that any person armed with a gun wouldn't allow others to hurt them. For the most part, self-defense is a valid plea in court and any one of the 60 + shot in the engineering building including the 32 killed, should have been able to use a gun in self defense. The problem, you can't carry a gun on Virginia Tech's campus. And I doubt that any of them got the e-mail from administration about the gunman on the loose because most of them were either getting ready or already in class when he killed for the first time.
The second issue is the anti-depressant drugs that the gunman has been taking. Verbal warning signs not withstanding, the gunman was clearly drugged when he did what he did and some company will likely pay in the form of a lawsuit.
We have wide-open campuses in North Dakota too, but are they safe? It is a question that we need to ask ourselves, but instead of limiting access to grounds such as University of Mary, UND, or NDSU among others, we should allow our college students to carry guns as long as they don't show signs of violence. Virginia Tech University failed to do so and they have paid the price.

Real Reason Don Imus was fired update
This is an update of a post that I completed last night.
http://dakotacountryview.blogspot.com/2007/04/real-reason-don-imus-was-fired.html
The first link that I included in the post was proved to be a hoax. Still most of the post is pretty much true.
Here is the link to the Prison Planet story.

Now for News you will not find in the Bismarck Tribune
On the record, the Bismarck Tribune is one of the best papers in the upper midwest compared to some other papers such as the Fargo Forum and Star Tribune (Twin Cities). But, here is one news item regarding RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) chips. This past week, North Dakota put a new law on the books that bans the forced injection of these chips into any human.

The Real Reason Don Imus was Fired
Here is an article that I want to show to all of you.
http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/89728-0/
Believe it or not, I am a 9/11 Truther as well. A clue to this is the Prison Planet link that I have on the right. For the record, the fall of Don Imus was a lynching pure and simple and I cover it in a previous post.
For this one, however, this is most likely the product of elites that are so weak that Don Imus had to be sucker-punched. They can't attack him directly. Still, this is completely uncalled for according to the public at large and all polls that I have seen so far, show unprecedented support for Imus to the tune of almost 70% support for him. As I type this, I am listening to Matt Drudge on the radio and his introduction included 10-year olds playing the part of Imus on April 4. Since the folks at South Park can turn out a episode in less than a week, I believe that they will voice their comments on the issue. For the record, they started their current season last month with a episode targeting Jesse Jackson.

Don Imus vs Al Sharpton
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF9BjB7Bzr0
This above You Tube link includes what former MSNBC and CBS radio host Don Imus said about the Rutgers Women's Basketball Team as he said it on April 4th 2007. Now there is one simple issue about this post and it is regarding racism. At first glance, it appears that Don Imus is the guilty party due to his saying of "Nappy Headed Hos." Now the simple definition of this phrase is simply dark haired prostitutes. Now we know that prostitutes are women who give themselves up for money, but the word prostitute and ho can be taken in different contexts. That what Don Imus was trying to establish with his comments and the final score, in which Tennessee won 59-46, backs him up.
Now the only thing that can realistically be racist is the comment about the tattoos which can be understood to have been said tattooed as in tattooed to the court by Tennessee. For the record though, tattoos are on many women nowadays. If you don't believe me, check out season one of Survivor in which Kelly has a tattoo down her back.
Now to get back to the comment, here is what I believe Don Imus actually said in the context of the Women's National Championship on April 3rd: "Those Rutgers girls, they were pretty sick last night (after the loss), they got tattooed , those are some dark haired prostitutes (In this case, they laid down to Tennessee which the sports media had them ranked #4 in the final poll of the season while Rutgers beat #1 ranked Duke 53-52 en-route to the final.
http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaw/polls;_ylt=AlB8Vx8bOeW6h7_xZg_OK0dMvrYF
This above link means that Rutgers can beat good teams. Now I don't know Don Imus personally, but he might have liked Rutgers Women's basketball as well as all sports. For the record, Imus might also been lead on by one of his guests. Right before he said the phrase "nappy headed hos" one of his guests called them "Hard-core Hos," and Imus simply decided to stay away from calling them hard-core knowing they lost.
Now here are some links of Don Imus together with the "Rev." Al Sharpton, a few days later.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jknRJnuTCn8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaftrHk0e1c
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJD1Pfqxk10
The first link in this group is simply a 4 plus minute clip of Don Imus with Al Sharpton on Sharpton's radio show. Here, Don defends himself yet again and Al calls for him to be fired. For the record, their meeting on Sharpton's radio show took place following the Easter weekend. Last I checked, Easter celebrates Jesus rising from the dead after paying for our sins including those of Don Imus and Al Sharpton. The second includes Imus asking forgiveness, while the third is Imus simply calling out Sharpton for the bully he is.
However, bully might be a too weak word to describe Sharpton, but here is a good compromise. Al Sharpton is a pig-headed, racist, bully. I arrive at this comment after asking myself What Would Jesus Do? When it comes to Don Imus, he asked for forgiveness and Jesus asks of us to forgive one another seventy times seventy. Now this is a super far cry from what Al Sharpton preaches which is hate while Jesus Christ, the living son of God, preaches love. God willing, Don Imus will come back and while I do hope he sues the living daylights out of CBS radio and MSNBC, it better be just for the pay that he lost during Al Sharpton's 2007 PC Witch Hunt.
