The price of cable is eternal vigilance.
Saw a story on Time.com's site a week ago that said the price of cable has escalated (I think it was 3x, but I'm not certain) far beyond the cost of inflation over the past couple of years.

Good concept, faulty execution.
Why isn't there more heartbreak as cherished heirlooms turn out to be nothing more than common-grade crap? Where is the violent disappointment of dreams ruined? When (oh when) is the show going to...

Screw the union?
As much as I miss SEPTA (i.e., about as much as I miss slush and ice), union-bashing isn't the answer... because management creates the union, through bad hires, worse practices and unreasonable...

First things first: we gotta get some VC. Our pitch is that we're never going to make money, but that's OK, because we're going to lose it very, very slowly. So the Cellar will help the rest of their...
