Confession time....My name is Irish Pennant. I watch TV every night. I have a relatively high IQ (Yet low sloping forehead) and a high paying job. I drive a nice car and do lots of hobbies such as hunting, fishing, wood working, auto shop on my and other peoples cars, and yet frind plenty of time to FReep.

Sadly, I admit to absolutely LOVING TELEVISION...Born in '62...It's in my blood. It was at one point my babysitter, my friend, and even today, the thing I fall asleep to.

However, I somehow find the time to watch network TV shows every night and somehow, unbelievably, remain extremely productive and intelligent. - Hell, I'll even confess to watching the NASCAR All-star race right now while still having the mental capacity to browse Free Republic at the same time....yes I know it reduces my IQ by at least 10 points, or maybe 5 horse power.

I give full permission to any FReepers who knows me personally to come shoot me in the throat if I ever post "I do not own a television and only get my news from FR or Ham Radio". Lord, how that makes me sick.

A body that lives in this amazing time where we can share like minded conversation by transmitting our thoughts through our fingers across continents in mil-seconds, but thinks new fangled things like TV news and entertainment is beyond their wanna-be persona of "Jeremiah Johnson" should log off, go cut logs and tan a bear hide or too.

Bless you, brother. May the road rise up to meet you.

I couldn’t agree more.

I don't have a problem with the technology. I do have a problem with the programming written by liberals.

I won't give that crap any space in my attention span.
