37. Need to change the remote batteries!

I agree, Fuddnik - it's absolutely maddening!
I have taken to muting, changing channels, turning the darn thing off - anything to avoid the almost unavoidable, especially these last few days.
Some thoughts about all of this...
- The ads are really the best advertising against voting for R's for the average undecideds.
- Virtually all of these millions and millions are going to the advertising industry - think about that. We're stuck in a economic quagmire and we're pouring massive amounts of money into advertising. So too with the idiotic valuations of that online billboard, game and gossip site, Facebook - all advertising revenue.
- Can you imagine the barrage of ads from both of our great choices in this "democracy" come summer?
