My Obsessive TV Viewing Habit Has Been Cured!

[tucsonlib]

Years ago I became, out of necessity, A "Daily Show" addict. Later on, I graduated to the harder stuff - "Countdown with Keith Olbermann". Then Rachel hit town. I used to wait all day for these three shows to come on - for they were the only fixes that worked to temporarily relieve the horrible pain of living under Bushism.

But since January 20th something has changed. Oh, Jon is just as funny; Keith just as biting; Rachel just as literate. But I find I no longer need them. I can miss episodes without suffering any withdrawal symptoms! I must confess, I no longer even need my daily dose of DU! The monkeys are off my back!

Now, I'm not certain this is an altogether good thing. If this becomes a widespread phenomenon, audience numbers might drop precipitously. Wouldn't want that to happen.

I do know this: Jon, Keith and Rachel each deserve to be awarded the Medal of Freedom.

1. They were like "Radio Free America" during the BushCo years.

If it were not for them and Amy Goodman, Sy Hersch etc...we would all have been like mushrooms - kept in the dark and fed bullshit.

2. Go to your public library and get out some good books.

Much better IMHO.

Most of TV sucks.

5. re: Go to your public library and get out some good books.

I regularly do just that, thank you very much.

And yes, "Most of TV sucks".
But a few gems such as the ones mentioned do not, and they should be supported and encouraged.
