38. One MORE thing, 7962, to your point about the sleeves...

Dec 2014

Watching MSNBC this morning, I noticed that Tamron Hall AND both the female hosts of "The Cycle" appeared onscreen - wearing outfits that included sleeves. So help me, all three of them - Tamron Hall, Krystal Ball, and Abby Huntsman - were just as gorgeous, sexy, and alluring as can be. They're beautiful women. Frankly, if they were wrapped up in burlap bags and string, they'd STILL look gorgeous, and sexy and alluring as all-get-out, too.

And there's something else I forgot to rant about. And I don't know how to combat this, even in my imaginary position as head of MSNBC. The DAMN VIAGRA and CIALIS COMMERCIALS!!!! FUCK!!!!!!! GET THEM OFF!!!!!!!! It's frickin' ENDLESS!!!!! Do they think all I care about as an "older" woman is fucking? Do they think all my husband - as an "older" man - cares about is fucking? I'm sorry, but we have a lot more going on in our lives, individually and together as a couple, than just whether we're able to fuck all the time! Or whether he can get it up all the time or not. DAMN!!!! GET OUT OF OUR BEDROOM, WILLYA????? Not sure what I could do about that because it's sponsorship and advertising revenue and blah-blah-blah. Yeah, don't touch the advertisers. I know all about that. They were sacrosanct back when I was working, too. The "sanctity" of the commercial sponsor, I suppose. All hail! But ENOUGH!!!! I watch (more or less) MSNBC pretty much all day. I have it on in the background while I'm working. If I had a dime for every damn Viagra or Cialis commercial that made air, I could finance a world tour for the band and have money left over to go diamond shopping.

That is a powerful statement. And yes apparently true. BootinUp Dec 2014 #1

Never could understand the appeal of "Lockup". nt 7962 Dec 2014 #37
Well, as you can probably tell, I don't get it either. calimary Dec 2014 #39
