Anyone else done this today?

I have for a change decided not to watch any news today or visit any news sites, need a break & have posted very little till now, just to give my self a break.

I feel I need to step back reevaluate the situation, then come back charging.

4. Oh yes.

I always have to give myself a break after this kind of shocking loss. I did it after Nov. 2002, and then after the Iraq war started. I don't know if I can get my hopes up again when we keep losing time after time. I'm considering avoiding politics completely until we get a Dem in the Whitehouse in 2004, and if that doesn't happen I'll quit for life. All day I have felt so sad, and when coworkers ask me what's wrong I just tell them I'm tired. I don't want to live like this anymore.

5. I've watched one 5:30pm newscase since 12/12/2000

No need to change things now. However, I did drop Inside Politics and Crossfire-for the foreseeable future

7. I won't be watching tv for the next few days (except C-Span).

I'm thinking the media will be over their orgasms for Arnold by next week.
