Comment on AARP Sucks by Larry

Just emailed AARP and inquired about a lifetime membership. They
gave me the 1, 3 and 5 yr price and said to call about a lifetime mbr.

Called and got a very very nice and helpful person named Jennifer and
she says the lifetime mbrship is $ 180. So, it appears they’re STILL
selling them. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think I’ve already said
what a crooked bunch of SOB’s they are. I’d say that now the value
of what they’re screwing everyone out of is $ 180. Multiply that by
however many they’ve screwed over and just maybe you could get
an attorney interested. Hell, I’d give him ALL of it just to see it
happen. Bet the number of “screwee’s” totals many many
thousands. By the way, it nice that you don’t use that stupid security
thing where you have to enter the characters. Most of the time you
can’t tell upper case from lower, or an “l” for a 1.

Yeah, you’re right. They need to be punished for their scam. Punitive damages would be up to the jury, but I think that based on the comments we have here and elsewhere, any fair-minded jury would award everything but the proverbial kitchen sink. However, there would have to be proof of actual physical damages to enable the award of punitive damages and therein lies the rub. We spent $45 and got 10 or 12 years instead of 20 or 30. Couple of bucks a year, at best, plus the loss in senior discounts. Yeah, that could be substantial, but “could be” doesn’t get it in the courtroom. So, my feelings are still that it would be difficult to find a law firm that would take on the financial behemoth with its political connections and bigshot legal talent. Just my opinion, of course, and you know what “they” say about opinions!

Ironically, if not moronically, speaking, yes, I am.

Could you write a sentence (pronounced sinnance in the South) with that minny commas, I ask you? I didn’t think so.

Comment on Four Lions Drafted by NFL by The Nittany Turkey

Moye and Powell both had grades in the low 50s, which means they just aight. There was a lot of talent out there and it seemed to this Turkey like NFL teams were staying away from Penn State just a little longer than they would have were it not for all the notoriety of the past year.

You know, after looking at my “lifetime membership card (with NO
expiration date), I notice it also doesn’t say Life Member anywhere
on the card.

As far as a class action suit, I’d like to see somebody make them PAY
to every life member they screwed, their annual membership fee for
each year. That, you could build a case, is the actual value of the loss.
And, of course, its not about getting the money. Its about punishing
the crooked SOB’s for what the did and are doing to their members.
They don’t give a damn about their members. Only their bottom line
net profit.
