Business Wire, April 9, 1865

Following Lee's surrender at Appomattox, Dish Network has announced they have dropped all Confederate Channels.

Charlie Ergen was quoted as saying " I don't see how they are going to pay for their channels, since Confederate Dollars are now worthless. So, we had no choice but to remove them. But there are some interesting replacements in the works, such as the proposed Carpetbaggers Channel. "

Jim DeFranco added " Whatever we find to replace them, I think that there will always be people with no lives that will continue to talk about them. "

The Confederate Channels were my favorites of the VOOM channels. Well, except for MonstersHD, that is.

I'm sure some people will miss the shows "Damn Yankees" and "The Pleasant Hillbillies".

All that time spent thinking up a "snappy retort" to the people who liked Voom and this is the best you could do? Talk about no life...
