A tale of 2 Americas.... I switched on Faux

and guess what their big story of the day is?

Yep. Holder.

Issa was on. Being interviewed by Greta. He compared Holder to the Menendez Brothers. I'm sorry, I couldn't follow his reasoning. Something to do with hiding the truth. This is going to the courts, he boasted. And he said he was hoping that it wouldn't have come to this vote today. Greta was eating it up.

Then I turn back on Msnbc and Lawrence is interviewing the woman who the President referred to today. She has cancer and Obamadoescare saved her life.

Two different worlds.
Completely different worlds.

I'll take my world over theirs anyday!

The last time I watched even a minute of FOX was the day Obama supported gay marriage. I could only take about a minute. It took only that long before wanted to trash the TV. Tonight I didn't want to take the chance, can't afford a new TV.

and never looked back. I guess I am simply not a big enough person to take one from the team. I couldn't handle it. But I refuse also to add to their ratings, for whatever reason. I guess I "just never got over it" ....

What gets me is the sleaze. You'll have someone like Billo talking about his OUTRAGE over some small Midwestern town having a strip club and he takes his cameras INSIDE to show you why he's OUTRAGED. Then he'll put on two women that look like they're dressed in towels to talk about how this is an OUTRAGE and before the segment ends both of the women come off like they're gonna have a threeway with Billo.

That's what they do on slow news days.....
