I wanted to “SEE ROCK CITY” when I was a kid. As we drove past a barn one day with the sign on the roof I asked my mother, “Mom? Can we go see Rock City?”

My mother, being the negative type, responded “Son, I doubt if we’ll ever see Little Rock.”

I’m now just as negative on the GOP.

Regarding your tagline: (I haven't watched the news since the election. Someone ping me if anything big happens.)

We cancelled cable TV more than a year ago, except for Internet access. No satellite either. So, on election night, we watched returns on a local CBS broadcast station in HD but WITH THE AUDIO OFF. Graphics generators showed local and national returns and filled the big screen TV with plenty of info. Since I don't watch CBS or any network news regularly, Scott Pelley was acceptable, as long as we didn't listen to anything he said.

We did this on another TV set as well and went about our evening at home but with more attention paid to the TV than usual.

It worked! We got all the returns we wanted and didn't get all angry or bedazzled when Obama won. Didn't listen to any analysis or speeches or spin. Went to bed before 10PM election night and slept.

The deaf have an advantage over the hearing, when it comes to TV news.
