Ain't dat the truth? That's exactly why I can't watch most of what's on TV these days. I'm sorry, but I could poop a better story than most of what's on any of the hospital or cop dramas out there. I have to wonder if any of the people behind these shows have actually ever been in a hospital or precinct or courtroom. OK, some of them probably have those last two covered, but they must be the ones writing the hospital dramas. Blech.

Speaking of bad, I don't see how anyone could stand to watch that "docudrama" that ABC is airing. It made me jittery just listening to snatches of it from the next room. Even my die-hard Republican husband didn't watch it all! Knowing it's on again tonight is keeping me at my desk so I won't have to even hear it!

I had no intention of watching it, or listening to it, or even allowing it to flitter across my TV screen. I sent emails to ABC protesting the airing of it. I'm considering not watching ABC ever again, which really *really* sucks for me, because that means I'll have to wait for Season 3 of "Lost" to come out on DVD (and I had thought waiting until October 4 was bad enough). Then again, I TiVo "Lost" and fly through all the commercials anyway, so am I really watching it to ABC executives' satisfaction anyway? Hmmmmmm. Methinks I've found a loophole...

You're quite welcome, dear Adrian. I find pretty much all of their songs uncanny these days, especially everything on their "American Idiot" and "Warning" albums, the latter being where "Minority" was first recorded.
Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Now I especially take back everything, Barb. With all these boycotts, you've found a great way to simplify your life! There's just way too much to do/read/watch/hear/pay attention to these days. :D
