For the last 72 hours I have ony watched the Weather Channel.

Am I the only one who just can't stomach ANY news right now? Can't even bring myself to watch "The Daily Show" or "Colbert" although I might try tonight. Sigh.

1. ZERO news for me. Not even the Weather Channel.

So, no, you are not alone.

Even the weather is against us!!

4. We'll get over it in time, I'm sure.

Just feels like the ole homeostasis is skewed.

2. I only watch my local news

So it's not too bad. Plus, I guess I am one of those folks that believes in the theory that "life goes on".

Elections happen. Sometimes they go our way, sometimes they don't.

I guess I am a bit fortunate that I live in blue CT, so I won't be affected as much by the changing of the guard as some others.

But, there's nothing any of us can do about it now. The election is over. Only thing we can do is work to make it better next time.

Hope you have a good evening.

3. LOL

I had the TV off yesterday, but turned it on today. I have been watching Democracy Now and Thom Hartmann mostly. I did turn on Rachel tonight. She didn't talk about the election that I can recall, or at least not very much.

Tweety is dead to me though.

9. Perhaps I should try Al Jezeera.

I'm not use to having the television machine off; I have to have the background noise, even when I sleep. I'm a news junkie who can't watch the news! I'm having withdrawals.

11. Don't miss "Harlan County USA" if they have it.

Still the gold standard for documentaries.

Oh, I don't know.  I've always enjoyed Errol Morris' Vernon, Florida.  It's a classic, in my book.  Check it out, primitive.

As of today, it's still too fresh.

18. Just heard Rush on the radio saying the Weather Channel has higher ratings than MSNBC & CNN

combined. He probably could of added FOX News, but he didn't.

19. Lots of HGTV here. Rehab Addict, House Hunters, Love it or List it etc....

Love to look at old houses, especially when they're being saved, not "updated" to a hideously inappropriate "open-concept".

Back in the 1800-1900's homes had things called "rooms" and kitchens were "rooms" not part of enormous wide-open spaces. Save that crap for modern houses, don't ruin old homes with "remuddle-ing".

Haven't seen the news since Tuesday night.

Not since Tuesday?  Well, let me give you a synopsis:  We won.

Definitely H5-worthy.

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Is that why TWC has higher ratings than MSNBC?

Weather Channel Morning Show Bests CNN, MSNBC

Oh my word.   :banghead:

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

You may as well. With those six words, you already attracted the NSA's undivided attention.

I'm sure they will appreciate the increase in viewership to 6.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

If everyone is telling you you deserve something, vote for the one who is promising you the least. Be suspicious of the man or woman who tell you deserve everything. Because you don’t.” ---Mike Rowe
