I Like to Watch

Give thanks for these purloined lands, and for the fact that you're not a soulless plastic surgeon, an undercover agent posing as a terrorist, or the mother of a 2-year-old.

    Counting Blessings

    I am grateful for at least 2 things--one, that I don't own a television, as I sat with my jaw dropped at the crap I was reading about, and two, that I am not paid to watch it. I just don't think I could do it.

    Heather's a good writer, (although I rarely read her since I don't watch), and her snarky reports make me feel like I need a shower, particularly after this report. I guess that's good...
