PBS must be turning more conservative. Saturday night I saw a documentary about a band of bruddahs who were lead by a lifelong Republican. Johnny Ramone may not have come off as the nicest guy in the band but they all had their hassles with each other (Tommy never spoke to Joey after he left the band in '78 although he continued to speak with Johnny even after Joey's death).

As much trash as I hear about Johnny, I have to temper it with the understanding that they include "he was a Republican" among their gripes. And for as much as the documentary tried to play Joey as a hard left lib, CJ was the lib with Joey in-between. Joey voted for Ronald Reagan, twice maybe, (which is why he was outraged about the trip to the German SS graves).

Bet that hurt for them to air!! LOL

Seriously, every once in a great while I'll see a show on PBS that's worth watching, but the vast majority - on our local one at least - is circle file material. I actually gave money to their campaigns a couple of times because our business used to produce commercials there. I quit when they aired a "Puzzle Place" episode in which two lesbians were trying to decide which one of them was going to get pregnant and have "their" baby. I wrote a letter to every mucky-muck at the station and told them EXACTLY what I thought of the show and that they would be getting no more of my money NOR my viewership and I haven't looked back. I have a few friends who work at that station, but I cannot in good conscience support that kind of crap.
