This is torture!

[erinlough]

I'm stuck in a Marriot Hotel lobby with a largescreen TV blasting Glenn Beck and there is nowhere to sit and wait for my meeting. Glenn Beck is certifiably CRAZY! I have Fox blocked at home so this is my first exposure to this crap. Are they really #1 in cable news? That is scary.

1. Usually, the remote from your room will also work the one in the lobby. n/t

3. No room, I'm just here for a meeting. But thanks for the suggestion.

2. The waitstaff might be able to "break" it for you for a gratiuty.

4. This is Jeopardy!

5. I do not think twice about asking them to change it.

I usually suggest ESPN since I want to see "the game". In reality, most broadcast sports are white noise to me.

I have something like an 80% success rate with this.

6. It's sordid entertainment, NOT news.....

7. when I'm in the lobby, I always get up and turn the TV to something reasonable

..turn it for yourself, for the others... save them from themselves (I'm in a Hilton)

8. I do that also, and I make sure to bookmark DU's Greatest page on the computer in the lobby.

9. Why not take a hostage, until they change the channel.

You can always use the insanity plea.

10. What's glen talking about? Women's health?

Tectonics? Dolphins?

11. HA!

You want torture? I dare you to listen to this...
