Gee, there's hope for the country after all since
the esteemed gathering here isn't watching American Idol. My daughter is, but she's 14.

I bet Shrubby and Pickles are glued to the screen tonight. Maybe he'll call the winner.

1. American what?
Just kidding.

I don't have TV, so I am blissfully ignorant of ALL that stuff! But not really. You can get rid of your TV, and still somehow you will still know what shows are on and what is hot. THERE IS NO ESCAPE!

Bush is surely in bed by now. Pickles is soaking his pretzels in hot milk so he won't choke.

3. We don't watch TV either
We own one, for movies, but no cable. I am ignorant as well, and a bit proud of it. Leaves me out of a lot of discussions at work, though LOL :evilgrin:

7. I have an antenna
So every once in a while I plug it in.

But only if one of my favorite teams is in the NBA finals.

AND

I plugged it in when Richard Clarke was on 60 minutes.

But after five years without it, I find it hard to tolerate. SO FRANTIC.

9. We've got rabbit ears, too.
I turn them on very occasionally, usually when not feeling well, to just tune out for a few minutes. Even with them, we get 1.5 channels. We did watch Clarke, as well, though! :D

8. BooBoo one after my own heart
I bet. My 27"er makes a perfectly wonderful pot for a pretty big peace lily on my stoop.
Ever hear of John Prine's advice to throw away your TV , raise alot children and feed on peaches?

As to Bush, may the shades of his victims visit him tonight and all the rest of his nights.
And if I could ask him a question in front of God and everybody it would be , If you could gain complete victory as you see it Georgio by sending Barbara or Jenna to an Iraqi street to be the last violent death Of the troops and the children and mothers of Iraq, right now , would you Mr. President? A question I have asked myself about my daughters at the start of this madness.
What do you suppose his answer would be?

4. You can watch American Idol and still find Bush the lamest worst excuse
for a President ever. But this season stunk. Who cares? Also you are assuming East Coast time,which everyone always does.
