I can't wait until the Olympics are over so MSNBC will go back to NEWS.
Womens water polo is on. I guess they have changed their bathing suits so other teams can't unzip their suits while playing. Now I feel informed.

I am being forced to watch CNN and occasionally FAUX, Lord help me, because of this.

Oh, sure, I could turn on something else but then I might miss the ONE TIME a day they now report casualties in Iraq.

end of rant.

1. you are not alone.
but my wife is the only one who even watches a little television in the house.
And its the Olympics. I am relieved we only have a week left.

I have become so skeptical of broadcast news that I have stopped watching it entirely and do not suscribe to cable. I still feel I am better informed.

6. And Bravo can go back to "Queer Eye"
I've missed the Fab Five. Maybe I'm the only one, but I have.

8. Well, Thom would be proud of you.
They do come up with some good ideas from time to time.

I'm still not sure I'd take fashion tips from Carson Kressely, though. :-)

10. THANK GOD FOR THE OLYMIPCS
I've watched less and less news because of them and I'm a better, happier person for it. I wish MSNBC would air them over and over and over again.
