so, the debate conflicts with playoffs AND Downton Abbey [View all]

[zazen]

See, my elderly Mom would choose the debate over Downton Abbey if she knew how to DVR, but she doesn't, like many people of her generation.

She's already supporting Bernie (and this is the great-granddaughter of prominent slave-owners we're talking about here, who grew up wanting to redress the injustice she saw around her). But, if she were on the fence, or just assuming, as the main demographic of Downton Abbey might, that they're Clinton supporters until they hear anything very different, then she wouldn't really get to hear a different message tonight, would she?

Playoffs have one demographic wrapped up. Downton Abbey another. EVERYONE knows that Sunday nights in January and February are Downton Abbey nights for the 45-plus set.

Good work, Debbie.
