Y'all ever noticed that on weekends it's like the News takes a hiatus untill Mondays or Tuesdays roll around?



True. It's called the "Friday afternoon newsdump".

"Often, the White House sets the release of bad news and unflattering documents to late Friday afternoon. The Pentagon and other agencies also use the practice, a legacy of earlier administrations. Michele Norris discusses the Friday news dump with two veterans of the practice: Torie Clarke, the Pentagon's chief spokesperson until June of 2003; and Joe Lockhart, a former Clinton press secretary."

The American public has been so dumbed down it works like a charm. The Sock Puppet in Chief announced suspension of half our constitutionally guaranteed civil rights by extending the Patriot Act on a Friday afternoon and there was nary a word of protest. Who can be bothered with such trivial matters with the weekend on tap? Football, booze, etc.

Last night I was watching the latest episode of Jungle Gold on Tee Vee. During the last half hour of that program it was like three minutes of TV commercials and one minute of the Jungle Gold program, it was like that over and over untill that program was over. Redicolus beyond compair!, it was. Those two Jungle Gold guys, I am fixin to do a Google for their net worth. Hey, Shelby Stanga is worth about $400, 000. He once sold two million dollars worth of old logs he pulled up from the Swamps.
