Television

Some say that it was the most watched program in Television history. It was history. Were you a part of it?

No.  I was working.

You could have watched it together, cuddled, and stuff.

I was busy working for The Man.

I would have done it.Just read some newspaper excerpts

At school, there were plenty of TVs everywhere showing it (even in the bar) so I didn't have the choice. It was interesting though.

None, but I do not watch any TV at all, I use my TV strictly to watch DVDs on.

Well those of us who have disagreed with the policies of the Bush administration have been called unpatriotic and traitors.  Obama was a called a socialist when he was running and a guy who pals around with terrorists.  Then the same people said he only won because he was running a center-right campaign.  All the economic problems were Clinton's fault and then before Obama even took office it became an Obama recession. 

I was being flippant when I said "sit down and shut up".  It was not directed at you.  It was most certainly directed at any of the right wing blowhards that are hoping for the Obama administration to fail.  I look forward to spirited and polite political discussions with you over the next eight years of the Obama presidency, if choose to engage in such.

Wait a second, wasn't this supposed to be about television?  Uh, never mind.

By the way, links are active so all are free to read it and make up your own mind.  I do try and be a little fair and balanced.
