“After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting.”

Yeah — like the car-chasing dog that finally catches up to his “prey.” “uh... now what??”

How about the half-time up-date from Perky Katie - a sneak attack from the enemy at a time of sports vulnerability! Couldn’t mute it fast enough...

No kidding. The fawning is embarrassing.

I want to tell these people that there is a real God who deserves their attention.

re paragraph one: I have never seen such fawning in my entire life, and that includes the Kennedy's, the Pope, and Mother Theresa.

re paragraph two: Exodus 20:

3 Do not have any other gods before me.

4 You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me

Over the weekend, I recorded many, many hours of the Barrett-Jackson Automobile Auction and will be watching that instead.

TV?

There is no TV tomorrow. Just adulation and prostration before 0.

I’m planning a day long Planet of the Apes - Charlton Heston marathon. Mix in a little Ben-Hur, Omega Man and Soylent Green with the monkeys.

I turned off the TV on Thursday when someone on Fox News said that this is the “most historic inauguration ever”.

I can’t even imagine what the coverage looks like on the DNC propaganda networks.

I turned my TV off ten years ago and haven’t turned it on since. Highly recommended.

You beat me by one year. I know my blood pressure is much lower these days. You can learn everything you need to know by reading sites such as FR and listening to talk radio.

I'd love to see all the phony "News" networks forced into bankruptcy. Then we might be able to get some real news channels without the spin.

Hmm. Our little terrorist scumbag buddies are making a little racket out there this evening, which is rare. These sound like Mehdi Army noises.

I cant' help but wonder if they're expressing their opinions about our upcoming regime change?

I’ll be watching some new anime from Japan’s winter season, it’s more realistic and has a tenth of the symbolism the average viewer is going to be subjected to tomorrow.

I know I am turning my back on American television but drek is drek.

Gadzook, A-Drive! I just looked... and, by jingo, FX has back to back episodes of "Spin City," "The Bernie Mac Show" and "Malcolm in the Middle" on not to mention TBS showing "Home Improvement,' "Just Shot Me" and "Yes Dear."

Other channels have entertaining fare on rather than watching the Coronation.

But the best counter programming belongs, however tremendously ironic it may be, to Ted Turner Class Movies, they are showing, as the Oath of Office is being given, the 1957 film A Face in the Crowd: An overnight media sensation becomes the darling of the nation and is soon shown to be a demigod.

Talk about art... imitating life!

Suddenly, the Caribbean is very tempting.......

At this point, living in Russia under Putin for the next 4 years seems preferable ..

Yeah, I caught Katie too. I didn’t realize it was her at first. She looked like a man.

I’m sick of Montel Williams and his stinking rant to buy Obama coins. It is only nearly every stinking channel. Even on ESPN, Weather Channel, you name it, I have seen it on there, but quickly change when it comes on.

Good idea, but what about the next four years?

Every channel is going to look like BET.

The crude humor has already begun:

Exchange between Bill Schneider and Don Lemon (both CNN)last evening:

Lemon: Schneider has a really big cap.

Scneider: Mine is bigger than yours.

Lemon: But mine is black.

Are they ALL homos at CNN?
