well, those C-Span call in shows 'are' fascinating in some ways....but so is a trip thru the locked wards of a mental hospital ...or any Jerry Springer show.

I watch C-Span for other reasons sometimes..(votes in Congress..special interviews)...but when the great unwashed public calls in to deliver its wisdom, I usually tune out. For the same reason, I am becoming VERY weary of call-in 'polls' conducted by CNN or MSNBC about the latest news items. They ask some inane, leading question.."Do you think the USA should require all left-handed Muslims to paint their ears green on Tuesdays?" ...and 2 hours later, announce that 63% said "Sure!"

Piffle!!!
