Actually, I love pledge week. I savor every plea and whine. I almost hyperventilate when they beg and talk about how difficult budget demands are and the bleak outlook for the future. When we finally get them cut off the public teat, I think I may attain Nirvana.
Pledge week here in Northern California means I get to see the normal quacks...but we sometimes get to see Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" or a film on identity politics they just so happens to highlight the reverse of my ideology.
