–*We already knew we were voting for Obama, so we didn’t see the need to watch a meaningless dog and pony show
–*We already knew that Democrats were all about hope, and watching them protest about their hope so much just gets to be a little tedious and annoying. The real message–that they aren’t crazy torturing war-mongering crony capitalist debt spending xenophobes destroying the environment and despoiling the world’s natural resources to fund the military industrial complex–only takes about five minutes to say. Jimmy Carter could do it.
–*Though I gotta say, I really don’t want to listen to Jimmy Carter.
–*I prefer not to watch my Kennedy fetish videos without a strip of blue velvet and a tank full of nitrous oxide
–*Watching people try to create a link between John F. Kennedy and Obama is a narrative ruse that would be familiar to most people over 12 and won’t pull the wool over the eyes over conservatives. My suggestion? Turn the TV signal into a mirror and perhaps conservatives looking at themselves might shame them and make them stop being so. This works for child abusers in TV movies, anyway.
–*Sex and the City reruns were on
–*I don’t want to watch a roll call vote just to acknowledge the debt to Hillary Clinton’s voters–only so we can shit all over them.
–*I’m afraid that the tribute to Che Guevara, Fidel Castro and Joe Stalin might be a little tacky and overdone
–*It was that Everybody Loves Raymond episode where Bob Odenkirk was on.
–*I was writing my new book, The Audacity of Ambivalence
