I'm not watching, I'm not listening.
I have better things to do with my brain.

[Ian David]

1. It's much more effective if you listen in the original German. n/t

[Dem2theMax]

13. I don't know how to nominate posts for Duzy's. Someone nominate this post!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Time for me to make dinner as well!

[katandmoon]

25. A 1932 movie called Jewel Robbery is on now but OWP is on at 10:30

[speedoo]

I'll have to find something else to do.

[1corona4u]

[snacker]

12. Not watching or listening. n/t

[Hekate]

14. I simply can't stand it. I think I would pop a blood vessel at this point.

Now that I've figured out how to get The Daily Show online I think I'll just wait for Jon Stewart's analysis.

Hekate

[me b zola]

15. Officially not watching.

TV is turned to another station. I'm so glad that I wasn't watching last night because from the clips that I heard I'm certain that my blood pressure would have reached dangerous levels.

[me b zola]

38. I couldn't resist, I had to see the train wreck for myself

:spank:

[Rockholm]

16. Hoping the Giants/Redskins game goes to OT.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. I'd rather drink bleach.

I'd rather gouge out my eyes with a grapefruit spoon.
I'd rather be thrown naked into a Turkish prison.
I'd rather lance an infected hemorrhoid with a plastic party fork.

There's more hate coming out of that gathering than my soul can deal with. If I experienced that much hate I'd have to have an exorcism performed before I could mingle with normal humans again.

[mckara]

18. Football. And I Hate the Redskins and the Giants!

n/t

[JTG of the PRB]

Hell no, I'm not watching!

I'll read about it later, but I don;t need to hear McMumbles give his speech, and I don't need to see the Stepford Wife talk.

I'm watching reruns from the last couple of episodes of the Daily Show. MUCH more entertaining!

[Hutzpa]

19. watching Redskins and Giant

skins getting their hands handed out to them by
Giant.

[Madam Mossfern]

20. I'm watching this very cool

show about a guy who is building a living home out of trees. Architect from MIT. Its "The Fab Tree house".

I've paid my dues watching Bill O'.

edited ofr spelling

[OwnedByFerrets]

Count me in...cant stomach that stench.

[Paladin]

21. Got "Bladerunner" On TV, And A Good Novel To Read

Why the hell would I waste time with McCain & Co.?

[Hutzpa]

22. Watching Redskin and Giant

Skins getting their ass headed out to them by
Giant.

:7

[Citizen Jane]

23. Watching the watchers

I can't stomach it myself, so I'm depending on the good people of DU to watch for me.

Thank you "my friends" for your sacrifices.

Now I am going to wash my mouth out with soap for repeating McSame's favorite meme.

[geekgrrl]

24. NOPE I'm not subjecting myself to that crap! I'll read it later, maybe. nt

[falcon97]

26. Law and Order marathon 2nite.

The ones on now are without F.D. Thompson!!

[Lisa0825]

27. King of Queens here....

just for background noise while I DU.

[L. Coyote]

31. Even that is better than Alaska's "Queen of Pork"

[Lisa0825]

34. At least their accents on KofQ are tolerable, unlike Failin' Palin's. nt

[Crunchy Frog]

28. I'm not listening. I had all I could stomach last night.

I'm just going to read the commentary here.

[MuseRider]

29. Still watching the US Open.

Why stop now when the last 2 week slam is almost over?

Missed them both and do not feel badly about missing either dog and pony show.

[ikojo]

30. I've not watched any of the 2008 version of

Triumph of the Will.

Wouldn't Leni Riefenstahl be proud?

My blood pressure goes up just listening to Amy Goodman's in depth analysis of what took place at the CONvention. I wish all the lefty/liberal talk show hosts were as insightful as Amy Goodman. Thom Hartmann is way too gentle on Republicans, not wanting to challenge them too much and too quick to say "you're right." Amy Goodman is not afraid to speak truth to power.

I even see Rachel Maddow toning it down now that she has become a member of the corporate media punditocracy. Last night she was giving suggestions to pugs on how to introduce Sarah Palin to America by saying she would suggest they only have her interviewed by small town papers!

[L. Coyote]

32. sniffa just started the I'm watching thread. Hee hee Good luck with that!!

If you were, would you admit it!! :rofl:

**** Official "I'm watching the lies and hate speech and puking in my mouth" check-in thread *****

[Claire Beth]

33. The repukes make me wanna puke...

no way could I stand to watch. I'll get any information I need to hear for those of us who have a stronger stomach for all that stench.

[AtomicKitten]

35. Me neither. I get really pissed off in about 5 seconds and expletives fly.

Invoking Zen in 3, 2, 1 ...

[AtomicKitten]

36. dupe

oops

[complain jane]

37. No, I'm playing Mob Wars on Facebook.

[stillcool]

39. Checking in!

not watching, not listening. I saw a lot of the protest crap though, and that pretty much messed with my brain.

[Blondiegrrl]

40. Same here. I don't want to give them the ratings.

I can hear all I need to know about it right here (and on Fark.com, which has a pretty funny thread going right now).

[jazzjunkysue]

41. Flag. Country. Terra. Torture. Oil. Jesus. Babies.

Did I miss anything?

Oh, yeah. Darkies.

[mvd]

42. Not watching but it's on in the other room

I'm getting the commentary from other Democrats.
