Bee-otched For: fucking over their subscribers

---Up until around this time last year, I was a subscriber to T-Mobile.

However, I found out the hard way several times that the words "T-Mobile" and "4G" don't go together very well. First of all, I tried to use T-Mobile as my main ISP by wi-fi-ing my phone to my laptop. However, they clocked me out, so I tried changing my plan and 2) when I did, they royally overcharged me for going over my limit. Also, I went up to northern Michigan with my phone and sadly, T-Mobile doesn't serve northern Michigan. So, they changed me over to AT&T, which had 2G service which sucked ass royally.

So, I joined a new phone company: Credo. Unlike most of the four big carriers - AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon - Credo is a non-profit that donates to many progressive and liberal-leaning causes that promote everything from woman's rights to environmental causes. Since Credo uses the Sprint Network, their service is available virtually anywhere.

But now, there's a good reason to go to Credo: AT&T is fucking over their customers. ROYALLY.

The Federal Trade Commission is suing the telephone giant after it was revealed that they have been allegedly throttling speeds for their highest data users even though they promise unlimited data. However, AT&T is denying all this. The FTC is claiming that AT&T throttled some 3.5 million subscribers 25 million times.

Oh, did I mention that AT&T are heavy supporters of the Republican Party, even donating the maximum to George W. Bush's campaigns? That's right! When you pay a bill to AT&T, you're supporting a company that helped a man kill 7,000 innocent Americans - on 9/11 and with his fake wars - all for oil. This is why I support Credo, a company that actually gives a damn about the middle class. Plus, the Sprint network is improving, so more and more Americans will have access to Credo. With the exception of some dead spots, I approve of Credo.

Thanks, AT&T, but if I want the internet, I want the internet.

Bee-otched For: proving that killing rock on 95.5 in Traverse City was a bad, bad idea

---
Last week, the almost unthinkable happened on the northern Michigan radio dial.

After 10 years of spinning mostly satellite-fed country music, WLDR Sunny Country 101.9 flipped to adult contemporary as 101.9 The Bay last week. Station general manager Dave Barr claims that the reason for the flip was due to not enough businesses and offices playing the station. The station, which turns 50 years old in 2016 has spent nearly 80% of its life as an AC station. Previously, it was known as "Stereo 102", "Easy 102" and "Sunny 102".

Since the change to AC, the response to the flip has been mixed as usual with most radio station flips. Their Facebook page now has over 165 likes in just a few days.

True, the old Sunny Country had over 3,700 likes, but what's even more laughable was that before the flip, Traverse City's other local AC station, Easy 95-5 is up to a whopping 152 likes and that station's been around since April Fools Day of last year.

What's even more funny is that WLDR doesn't even have a new website up yet for 101.9 The Bay whereas Easy 95-5 has one, adorned with pictures of Celine Dion, Michael Buble and Alicia Keys.

The Nielsen ratings for northern Michigan radio haven't been released publicly in over two years, so it's hard to tell how well listeners are reacting to Easy 95-5. But, the station it replaced, Real Rock 105 and 95-5 combined was Del Reynolds's most-popular station. Now, it's simply Rock 105, whose stick is in eastern Charlevoix County and has a signal that only eyelash kisses Traverse City and is nonexistent south of town. Plus, a barely-legal religious translator station at 104.9 is interfering with 105.1's signal. So, if you're south of Rock 105's listening area, you're limited to three other rock stations, all overdosing on 1970's white trash rock.

Folks, this is why so many times, the big broadcasters in northern Michigan can be almost just as bad as corporate companies such as iHeartMedia and Cumulus. It sucks that the only radio station in northern Michigan that gives two shits about the male 18-49 demo is aborted for a piece of shit boring ass AC station that only reaches the area's 1%. What's even more funny is that a lot of area luxury car dealerships advertise on the station. If somebody came into my shop wanting me to buy time on their station, I'd ask them to prove that the station has listeners. Otherwise, I'd show them the door.

But if you're a new rock fan in northern Michigan, I think there's hope. WOUF 99.3 currently has a construction permit to move closer to Traverse City. But, rumor has it that Sunny Country will return to that frequency instead. There's also sister station 92.3 in Frankfort, currently relaying 101.9's signal. It's also worth mentioning that WLDR's programming director, Dave Doran was a former DJ at WRIF in Detroit.

There's a glimmer of hope somewhere....

Bee-otched For: dissing Jesus

I love it how Christians tell us to obey The Bible, but some of them can't do it themselves.

On Tuesday's The 700 Club, financial guru Dave Ramsey came on via satellite to promote his new book The Legacy Journey. He told show host Pat Robertson that many liberal Christians often quote Matthew 19:24 (it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to Heaven), but he believes that kind of teaching is pure heresy and that "God owns it all" and that "we're managing his money". He also claims that The Bible is not consistent and that there are verses that support wealth.

This coming from a TV show whose host is rumored to be mega wealthy and STILL begs poor people to give him money.

Now, don't get me wrong. Dave can be a good man when it comes to teaching us about money. I do like his "baby steps" to getting out of debt; if you have debt, the best way to eliminate it is to save $1,000 into a savings account while paying the minimum balance of the debt you owe every month. After that, you see which bill you owe most on, and you pay the most money on that. However, some of his tactics work only if you've got a job that pays the bills.

You see, I've worked for the same company since 2002. My boss for the first 10 1/2 years was, well, an asshole Hollander. I only got one raise from him, and it was a year and a half after I started working there. For almost a decade, I struggled. I looked for other jobs, but nobody seemed to want me. Even worse, in 2012, I went from second to first shift and my pay was cut to a rate lower than when I first started.

Several years ago, my boss showed us all a Dave Ramsey video, teaching us how to save our money. Yes, saving my money, even though I was living paycheck to paycheck while Dutch Boy was going on two-week vacations to Alaska and Hawaii. He even brought over the local bank to teach us money-saving techniques. All this because with him, a raise was a pipe dream.

Well, guess what? He retired on New Years Eve 2012. Since then, I've gotten some hefty raises and my life is getting back in order. My bills are getting paid off and I'm breathing a little easier. You see, THAT'S HOW YOU GET OUT OF DEBT. YOU GET A BOSS WHO FUCKING PAYS HIS EMPLOYEES A LIVABLE WAGE, GODDAMMIT!

It's people like Pat Robertson and Dave Ramsey that make me hate KKKhristians a lot more. They believe in a God that doesn't care about hard-working people like you and me and only care about wealthy pricks like themselves. Honestly, if I was wealthy, of course I would help people! That's what Jesus wanted, right? Doesn't The Bible preach that "debt is slavery?" Well, I became a slave thanks to my CHRISTIAN ex-boss's lack of caring for his employees.

There's a reason for debt, and it's when people get paid less than what they're paid. That's what caused the economic collapse, folks: employers paying their people less money while they use their extra money for shit like houses and vacations. I don't want to go back. Thanks to people like Obama, we're returning back to glory, though the ride has been bumpy and turbulent. Dave Ramsey's BS will help to an extent, but bear in mind that if you're a Christian and you're wealthy, ya gotta walk like Jesus and help others.

And paying people to take you to California on an aircraft carrier from Hawaii doesn't count.

Bee-otched For: turning the lights off on Tesla
---
Once again, the Stuffed Turd known as Rick Snyder has shown that he could care less about a car that's better for the environment than one that creates a hole in the ozone.

Our hopefully-soon-to-be-ex-governor signed a bill into law yesterday banning direct car sales in the state of Michigan. The bill is targeted at companies like Tesla, which makes electric cars. The only way to buy a Tesla is on their website, which custom makes their cars and then ships them out to you. According to Snyder, the bill, unanimously passed by both the Michigan House and Senate - all Republican-led - actually pertains to how car dealerships charge customers. He also claimed that selling cars from manufacturer to person is already illegal here in Michigan and had nothing to do with Tesla's ban in Michigan.

Todd Maron, Tesla's general counsel claims that Snyder's bill further bans the company from not only selling their cars in Michigan, but also prohibits displaying them or even having their salespeople in this state promoting them. So in other words, if Tesla wants to sell their cars in this state, they gotta change their business model and get some dealerships ready to sell.

Personally, I like Tesla's idea of selling cars online. I've dealt with dealerships and they can be very shady selling a car that's worth, say, $15,000 and them selling it to you for $20,000. Yes, there's the part about haggling, but the point is to sell a car and make a profit. Then, there's the BS about service, like parts and labor and oil changes and etc., etc., etc. Electric cars don't use oil or gas and they're much better for the environment. Of course, good 'ol Rick wants to raise gas taxes, furthering the working poor down the hole to bankruptcy.

What's even more sad is that some polls have Snyder beating Mark Schauer by seven points. BULLSHIT. I think it's time that our CEO ass-kissing, senior tax-raising asshole governor gets thrown out into the street and have a real governor who will create jobs and strengthen the middle class. The Nerd must go.

May Tesla create a car that will run Snyder into the pavement.

Bee-otched For: proving that he should have remained a weatherman
---
There's a lesson for all Republicans out there: if you're already good at something, for the love of God, stick to it.

Vince McMahon's a great example; he's made a fortune from wrestling. But bodybuilding, football and even his wife running for senator twice proved that he's great at wrestling and nothing but.

The same goes for Greg MacMaster. For many years, he was a popular TV weatherman at local NBC affiliate WPBN 7&4 in Traverse City. But, he stepped down from that role in the mid-90's to manage a failed laser tag business at the Grand Traverse Mall. But a few years ago, MacMaster stepped away from the green screen again to move into the world of Michigan politics.

In 2010, he was elected to represent District 105 in the Michigan House. He went from making around $400 per week doing the nighttime weather forecasts at 7&4 to making $72,000 per year as a Congressman (trust me, he told my class how much he made when I was in high school when he was talking to me and my classmates about his job). As a state rep, MacMaster helped to make Michigan a Right to Work state and even opposed the Detroit bailout that saved the jobs for thousands of autoworkers. Even more, when he was running for state senator recently, MacMaster made headlines when his estranged mother announced that she would be voting for his opponent.

Well, MacMasturbator (as I liked to call him as a teen) lost in the primary, so he was out of a job. But, his unemployment didn't last long.

Effective yesterday, MacMaster is now the new morning man at fledgling Tea Party talker WYPV 94.5 "We're Your Patriot Voice" in Mackinaw City, a station that doesn't even have a signal - if any at all - in his hometown of Kewadin, a suburb of Elk Rapids that's about 20 or so miles from Traverse City. MacMaster broadcasts from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and claims that his show will be informative and fun. Considering that WYPV has little listenership but has local talkers, this will end pretty nice in my opinion *coughSARCASMcough*.

Oh, did I mention that WYPV is asking for donations on their website? Yes, a for-profit talk station begging to stay alive. After all, I'll betcha that their ratings suck, plus the fact that WYPV has the sixth-lowest amount of Facebook likes on their profile page next to fellow Straits Area Tea-talkers WJML 1110/1210 and WMKT 1270. They also used to be on 93.9 in the Gaylord/Grayling area, but sold that off probably due to financial problems. IMHO, I think MacMaster will make even less money in his radio gig than his weatherman gig at 7&4.

It's further proof that if you're a Republican, do one thing and one thing only, or else you'll be stuck doing talk radio on a station with maybe a few dozen listeners. If worse comes to worse, Greg should be singing "Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?" on the air.

May a tornado down WYPV's transmitter.

Name: anonymous
Age: c. 24
Occupation: at last check, an employee at Victoria's Secret
Last Seen: Traverse City, MI
Bee-otched For: doing a no-no on Facebook
---Last week, I reported on the closing of the Grand Traverse Mall in Traverse City due to an overnight employee suffering a heart attack and dying in the food court. Not only did it made state headlines, it also led Facebook's Trending Topics as well.

The mall's closure left many without a day's work, since they're hourly and part-time. With northern Michigan notoriously having a blurred line between the wealthy and lower class, it was a huge kick in the ass for those trying to make it in the Cherry Capital.

But, there was a silver lining in all this: one of those who *probably* was forced to stay home that day was a woman who used to be one of my Facebook friends. A woman who's my cousin's half-sister and an employee of the mall's Victoria's Secret. And yes, I won't reveal her name because she'll get Jaded if she learns about what nasty message she wrote on her Facebook account.

You see, I've always had a slight hatred towards her side of the family. When I was growing up in northern Michigan, all my cousins lived in the Detroit area. They had everything I never had growing up north. However, that changed in 1988 when my uncle - living with my grandparents at the time - knocked up a local woman and six months after he was born, we learned that I had a cousin. My cousin's mother was a dumb trailer trash ho; supposedly, she either never graduated or barely graduated high school because she always had shitty jobs. She even raised her son and his half-sister in a shitty, run-down trailer in Rapid City, a white trash pit near Traverse City.

Well, this trailer ho hooked up with another man and had their daughter not too long after my cousin was born. Thankfully, she only had two kids. Halleluiah. Too many times as a teen, I would go to my grandparents and both would be there, yelling and screaming and flat-out annoying the shit out of me. Even worse, my father would scream at me to "play with my cousins" even though one wasn't.

In the late 90's, my grandparents moved to Florida and lost contact with my northern Michigan cousin and his sister. Thank God. But, that didn't matter since he and her were more-attached to their mother as-is. She did marry a man and they finally had a decent house to live in. I did reconnect to my cousin several years ago when I was up north with one of my other cousins, but sadly, that relationship ended because he married a bitch from Trinidad who ended up cheating on him. She ended up being my Bee-otch of the Day some time ago.

But as for my cousin's half-sister, we reconnected during his weird-ass wedding in 2010 and became friends on Facebook. She used a fake name because she wants nothing to do with her biological father. You see, when she was a little girl, her father chased her mother around in the family trailer with a shotgun, threatening to kill her. I guess he ended up going to jail, but ended up seeking psychiatric care instead. He's a free man, but she wants nothing to do with him.

The sad thing is that she never really had a real father figure in her life, and it showed some time ago on Facebook. She posted some link on her personal page regarding President Obama giving some special treatment to the Chinese and responded with the words "why don't they assassinate this jerk already?" Personally, I should give myself the BOTD for not dumping her ass on Facebook or even giving her the BOTD sooner. But, sometimes, my mind's a little slow, especially regarding people who are family members but not really family to me.

I checked Facebook to see if she's still on there, and I guess she's not, or she's personally blocking me. Who knows? All I know is that I'm not shedding a tear. YOU NEVER USE THE INTERNET TO THREATEN THE LIFE OF OUR PRESIDENT, PERIOD. Don't like him? Get your ass to the polls on Election Day and vote him and fellow Democrats out. Otherwise, SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU USELESS CUNT. When Bush was president, I voted Democrat but he still won two terms. During the end of his second term, people were losing their businesses and homes. Did I use this site to tell people to kill Bush? NO! I simply said, "don't blame me, I never voted for the guy."

The point is, she's damn lucky that she's not in jail right now. Threatening to kill the President of the United States IS NOT PROTECTED FREE SPEECH. It's because of shit like that, that I try to avoid having to do anything with my cousin or his mother's side of the family. He personally disgraced his own father by marrying this bitch who cheated on him and his sister tells people to kill Obama over shit that all started with Reagan and his tax cuts to the wealthy in the 80's. I hope that people will get their asses to the polls in a few weeks to vote Democrat so Obama can continue to fix the mess Reagan and his wealthy buddies all started.

If you live in Traverse City, maybe you should avoid Victoria's Secret at all costs. Is Ravissant still around? They're local. I just don't like it when people support a place that promotes Anti-American activities, like wanting to kill the president.

It doesn't take a Tall man to make an idiotic mistake.

Bee-otched For: causing a mall to close down
---
On Tuesday, my birthplace of Traverse City, MI made headlines and even made it to the top of Facebook's trending topics section. But, not for a reason it wants to be known for.

It was because a dead body was found inside Grand Traverse Mall that morning. Police ordered the mall to remain closed that day - save for the department stores that had outside entrances - as it treated the incident as if it were a crime scene.

Turned out that the man, 64-year-old Rick Billings was an overnight housekeeper for the mall and he died of a heart attack in the food court. A mall walker found him Tuesday morning at 8:30, an hour and a half before the mall itself opened. An autopsy will be performed on Mr. Billings here in Grand Rapids.

Of course, our thoughts and condolences are with Billings' family and close friends. 64 years old is young and Billings should have been readied for retirement. Question is, why was a man who should have been either retired or thinking retirement working overnights mopping floors at northern Michigan's largest shopping mall?

It kinda reminds me of fellow northern Michigander Michael Moore's Sicko where he features a man in his 70's who was mopping floors at a supermarket all because he otherwise couldn't afford his medication. Then again, that's life for many in their 60's and over: they just can't retire because they don't have the money.

Recently, my 62-year-old father retired. He flat-out got burned out from his job. Since retirement, there have been some personal items of his - like his lawn mower - that broke down. Even worse, his year-old cat was diagnosed with leukemia and died last Sunday. Sadly, he didn't save much towards his retirement and is counting on relatives to die and what he has in his 401(K) to help him out. Otherwise, he might have to find a part-time job to pay the bills. Because of all this, I won't be traveling to his house for Thanksgiving this year and he didn't come up to Michigan simply because he doesn't have the money.

You see, for 30 years, the Republicans have done their damndest to make sure that hard-working Americans would be driven to slavery. And it's working, especially here in Michigan where Governor Snyder balanced the budget by taxing the shit out of seniors. I'll betcha that because of the Nerd, our seniors are now having to push brooms just to make ends meet. I would imagine that in the overnight hours, there's hardly many other people at the Grand Traverse Mall, save for stockers and other janitorial staff. Now, because of Rick Billings, the mall lost a lot of business and their workers - many of whom work from paycheck to paycheck - were docked a day's pay all because of a dead guy in the food court.

This is why I vote in every election. I'm tired of seeing people in this state in country getting fucked over by Republicans and their rich buddies just because they don't believe in a middle class. Either you're high on the hog or you're a slave to the system/poor on your ass. Maybe if we all vote Democrat in November, we won't have any more janitors having heart attacks in the food court early in the morning.

And maybe people in Traverse City wouldn't have to be without The Gap or Hot Topic for a day.

Bee-otched For: making sure that their employees don't get freaky fast re-employment

Let's look at the list of fast food joints to boycott: Chick-fil-A hates gays, McDonald's treats their employees like scum, Burger King's moving to Canada to avoid paying taxes in the U.S., White Castle supports the Republicans... Man, is there a fast food place that respects the middle class?

Oh, yes, there's a few.

But now, I can cross Jimmy John's off my list of places to go to. Known for their quirky advertisements and hip sandwich shops, JJ's has made it clear that if you work for them and you quit or get fired, good luck finding new employment. According to a lawsuit recently filed against the sandwich maker, current employees who leave the company cannot work for a competitor for two years (i.e. Subway or Quizno's) and they cannot work at another Jimmy John's for another year. This is all because of a non-compete contract employees must sign once they start working there.

Bear in mind that JJ's founder (and yes, there is a Jimmy John), Jimmy John Liautaud barely graduated high school and is a notorious big game hunter known for killing enough lions and tigers and bears to give Bob Barker a heart attack. They might seem hip, but Jimmy John's is just another right-winged chain restaurant that puts profits in front of people. Not to mention that the last time I ate at a JJ's, I got the shits.

So, there you have it. Jimmy John's is another restaurant I won't spend my money on. I'll betcha that a lot of their employees are living paycheck-to-paycheck and if they're let go or move, they're screwed. If making a roast beef sandwich is the only thing they're good at, they're going to suck at finding another job. I hope that Jimmy John himself realizes that what he created was a sign of pure stupidity and it proves that people should never work for those who graduated high school on probably an F- average.

May Jimmy John get bushwacked by a freaky fast lion.

Many years ago as I was driving down 44th Street towards Breton in Grand Rapids, I was following an old fart from Florida who had a bumper sticker that read "Jeb!"

I was going straight, but he decided to make a left. It took him an eternity to make his left (and this was when left turns were allowed on Breton) and the asshole made me sit at a fucking red light. It's further proof that some old farts from the Sunshine State oughta stay there.

And that includes Jeb himself.

Yesterday, the ex-Florida governor, also the son of ex-president George H.W. Bush and the brother to George W. Bush visited our city to help promote the local Republicans running for office, including Congressman Justin Amash and Terri Lynn Land, who is running for Senator. What a wonderful way to promote a candidate: to have the brother of two of the worst living presidents of the last 30 years to come to town and busk for two idiots who shouldn't hold office, period.

There's rumors that Jeb might be a contender for president in 2016, but can we afford another Bush in the White House? H.W. lied about taxes and W. lied about, well, everything and left over 7,000 innocent Americans to die because of oil and defending people who quite frankly don't give two rat's asses about America. Hell, love her or hate her, I would rather have Hillary as my president over Jeb any day!

But that's what happens when you have rich assholes like the DeVoses running our town. It's also a good reason why I avoided ArtPrize as usual. The Repukes come to our town not caring about the fact that if you drive on 28th Street, you're going to see many panhandlers begging for change. Gee, maybe if we held outsourcers more accountable, our town would still have a GM plant and Steelcase would be running like gangbusters. But thanks, W.! Sorry, Mayor Heartwell, but I still consider Grand Rapids a dying city. A town where jobs are too far and in between and we have 30-somethings living with their folks because there's no jobs. Same goes with those with college degrees, who work at Mickey D's or greet visitors at Walmart.

Jeb's visit to Grand Rapids is one gigantic reason why I can't wait til Election Day. I want this country and my city to thrive, and it's not gonna happen with Repukes in charge. Jeb Bush only motivates me to vote Democrat because his entire family is corrupt. W. shouldn't be dunked with water by his wife, he should be dunked in a toilet by his prison boyfriend for the corruption he's led this country into. We cannot afford one second more of Bush BS. It's time to show the Repukes who's boss.

Maybe God sent hurricanes to Florida as punishment for people voting Jeb, not because of Gay Days at Disneyworld.

Name: Rick Snyder
Age: 56
Occupation: stuffed turd
Last Seen: Detroit
Bee-otched For: turning into a broken record---
Did you watch Sunday night's debate between Governor Rick Snyder and Mark Schauer?

Give yourself a pat on the back because you didn't miss much.

Many times, the Stuffed Turd rejected pleas from Schauer to do a debate for governor because all Snyder would do is repeat himself from his commercials. "I boosted money into education!" "I created jobs!" "We're making a comeback!" Blah, blah, blah.

As usual, the only sane person at last night's debate was Schauer, who talked about the fact that Michigan is still dead last in job development and that Snyder's ideas only help the wealthy. Oh, and there was that contract Snyder made with his relatives for huge pay raises.

Point is, I look at this state and sometimes I wonder why I'm still here. My parents got out of here over a decade ago and they like where they live. Here in Grand Rapids, I drive down 28th Street and see homeless standing at street corners begging for change. I never saw beggars here in Grand Rapids just a few years ago. It's proof that Snyder's policies don't help our town at all.

I'm like every other member of the working class. I have to work a lot of hours just to pay my bills. I talk to a lot of people my age and younger and they have to have roommates or live with their parents to survive. There's people with three college degrees flipping burgers and working as greeters at Meijer for a living. Many of them are making minimum wage.

Thing is, can we afford another four years of Snyder? I think not. If he's elected, I think this state will go bust in 2018 like it did in 2008 because of Bush and his minions. Let's create jobs, fix our roads and make this state as good or better than other states where job creation have been tops for years. We need good, high-paying jobs, not more McDonald's for the minimum wage.

November can't come fast enough.
