I will watch it via John Stewart ..but other than that--I think I will try to avoid the news...

I know the networks didn't devote a great amount of time to the DNC will it be the same for the RNC?

6. I'm going to try...
but I imagine I'll be so angry when the pundits start raving about what a love-fest it is, I'll have to turn it off. So, I guess I'll watch for about 5 minutes.

11. Simply can't ...
I know we should all be watching them so we can dissect their BS but, I can't stomach any of them.

13. For future reference, I am going to tape Cheney's and Bush's speeches
I did the same with Edwards' and Kerry's.

I also have the 2000 Gore/Bush debates and the Cheney/Lieberman debate.

(Although I have to dig for the VHS tapes, I may have lost a copy of one of the debate tapes; on the tape after one of the debates, I taped a clip from a documentary about "The Big Red One" for my Bush-loving coworker because he did appear in a still shot; not sure if he actually returned it.)
