Just thought I'd point it out and see if anyone is watching.  :whistling:

Financially I was doing better during Bush's years because I was able to save a higher percentage of my wages.

Now I'm struggling because I had to start over. A layoff due to a slow economy depleted my savings for four months and I was forced to take a lower paying job because I was desperate to get back to work. Four months of nothing drove me insane last year. I'm making more money than I was in Bush's years now, but I'm struggling to make ends meet because I'm still playing catch up from the lower wages.

Obama isn't rallying me to do anything.....except getting him out of the White House.

Actually turned it off since it was the end of the GB/OAK game.  

Well, to be truthful I was flipping between that and watching my donks pull out yet ANOTHER OT WIN...

My wife and I evicted the Tee Vee from the house about the same time that the Imaculated Won started propping his big-assed feet up on the HMS Resolution desk.

Yeah; I still bless the day we did that.

So you and your wife actually talk and stuff? [shudder] KIDDING!

Do you do a lot of reading? Listen to news on the radio? What do you do with your time?

Believe it or not, my 7-year old actually appreciates all the attention he gets from his parents.  :II:

We get most of our news either from radio or from the innerwebs; and yes, my wife and I do read a lot.  And ummm, stuff.  Yeah, stuff.  :-)

Fascinating! And good for you! I imagine you guys playing games, reading, and talking about your day (I won't imagine the other stuff). What a wonderful environment!

Does the 7-year old struggle with it at all? He's at the age where he can probably talk about the benefits of not competing with the television, huh?

Actually the 7-year old likes doing stuff outside; you know like we used to before we became a nation of couch potatoes.  Occasionally, he'll come in and play games on either my or his mother's laptop. Other than that, he's about riding his bike, playing with friends (we have a park about a block away from us) or chasing the dog around the back yard.  He's also developing a strong interest - and aptitude - for chess.

They could've titled that one "60 Minutes America Will Never Get Back."

I'm envious. I wish we could do that, but if I got rid of the two TV's we have (none in the bedroom, TYVM), I'd be looking at a divorce.

Mrs E is hopelessly addicted to television.

  And that's why kids are so fat these days.  I think we were last generation of kids who just went outdoors, horsed around and goofed off.  Your kid is not missing a thing.  Children's programming is godawful.  I wouldn't be able to stand it in the house.  So much of it feels like brainwashing, too. 

I don't watch a lot of TV, but I look forward to American Horror Story that I tape and watch on Saturdays. 

Oh, we were talking about Obama on 60 minutes?  I can't stand his voice, his Marxist, Communist voice; I would not watch that show.  If something important happens, I have pundits who'll alert me.  That's what they're there for.
