Six hours of television a day.... Lord have mercy!

It's good not being "most people".

And then we wonder why Americans are so stupid. TV is the great
moronizer. If you actually thought about what you're watching, you
couldn't stand it, so you turn your brain off and just stare blankly at
the screen. Most people watch TV intently yet can't tell you what they
just saw. Eventually the brain can't be turned back on again, and people
go through their lives with a glassy stare.

Gives you lots of people to feel superior to, which I'm sure you enjoy.

I'm sorry that you missed his point... *Nothing* to do with "feeling

Feeling superior or not, is TV the great moronizer? You betcha! And
while you're at it, don't forget "mindless" and don't forget "trash"...

While we're having this Constitutional Crisis and new round of sabre
rattling toward Iran CNN is covering ''Puppy Smuggling'' and Fox
continues to make the missing Aruba Party Girl story #1.

The tabloids have been breathlessly covering Miss ****faced for MONTHS.
She's dead and thrown to the sharks. No wait, she was sold into sex
slavery. No wait, she ran away because she was pregnant. No wait, she's
buried in the sand dunes. Give it a rest. I'd hate to be the poor girl's
mom. It's like Chandra Levy, the press covered it for six full months,
until 9-11. You'd think that they have nothing better to do than report
on cute white women who go missing.
