I don’t curse but I doze off for a minute while watching CNN: there was some kind of commercial from the ‘Concerned citizens of whatever’ with a typical political spiel (in this case Republican). Yadda-yadda-Social-Security.
A second later, when I woke up, another commercial played, voicing the opposing view (Democrat!) on a different topic, this time on how Congress overstepped its responsibilities in the Schiavo case. I mean, the case wasn’t mentioned, but the theme was obvious.
There were days you could eat a bag of popcorn while watching CNN. Today? It’s even a bigger mess: I long for those days in Holland were political parties had an allotted (and fixed) time to showcase their programmes and agendas and talking points after the 8 o’ clock news and only before the official election date.
Outrageous, this. We can all curse now.
