12. I spent a lot of the Bush years like that, so I know what you mean.

Don't get me wrong, I still watched plenty of news, but it got so I just glossed over things a lot of the time instead of listening to the dirty rotten scoundrels of the Bush era.

I was glued 24/7 to the 2000 election and was so thrilled with a Gore presidency. So I watched the Bush v. Gore news 24/7 also, and just got literally depressed when he finally conceded. After that, I definitely got more selective about what I invested in, and I'm still the same way about certain news stories. Interestingly, I feel the same way you do about the refugee stories going on now -- you are not alone!
