writes in to note that the transition did apparently annoy Walter Hoover of Joplin, MO, who decided to fight back by
shooting his television. Several times. Police have taken Mr. Hoover into custody and charged him with unlawfully discharging a firearm after a "brief standoff" with police. For those with a little more patience, Uncle Sam is
again delivering the $40 coupons (2 per household) for buying converter boxes.
