    K. Tomlinson resigns

    "It's a shame so few people on the right could be bothered to actually watch the show so they could form their own opinions instead of simply mouthing the opinions of those with even fewer brain cells."

    The rightwingers are neither able nor willing to form their own opinions. They latch on to whatever reinforces their prejudices and insecurities. By definition, they are either uncapable or willing to separate the wheat from the shaft.

    At least, Tomlinson is off the board, and quite publicly, too. The rightwing nut who is replacing him at the head of the corporation needs to be kept on her toes, though, lest we get "intelligent design" programs shoved down our throat.
