I simply can't believe this! Even though I've been busy with teaching, have lawn chores to do, and have been doing outta town gigs....every spare minute finds me checking out CNN for the latest predictable American election spin!

Holy Moses, I got hooked during the groteque OJ-rama massacre, and went back to the tube for the Clinton/Monica night-time emissions.

This is the same old thing of course...constant posturing by VERY partisan stuffed suits. All attempting to look sincere, fair and concerned. Endlessly spouting the same old homilies about "justice, bi-partisan," what the "American People" REALLY want, etc. One of them even admitted that were they working for the "other side" the arguments would be exactly the same.....but it's like a train wreck...I can't help but watch in fascination. The best line came from a young Congressman (guess none of the other TV "Polit-stars" were available at that moment. He said "I think the man who's finally elected will soon envy the one who lost".

As I've mentioned several times, I've managed to enjoy Mudcat over the last two and a half years 'cause I GAVE UP TV!! Why can't I just ignore all the crap and get each day's carnage results from the morning paper?

Anybody else become a slave to Ted Turner during this?
