5. Like I say...some of it.
:D

I'm wondering if CNN is really going to run the 9/11 day unedited as promised.

I seem to recall everyone saying that the towers exploded from bombs and that folks saw/heard a plane explode before it hit the ground in Pennsylvania.

I actually have about 16 hours from that day on tape somewhere around here.

6. I am thinking about buying a disposable teevee
One that I can holler at, and shoot and throw right off my veranda 110 feet into San Francisco Bay.

Not watching it. If it airs, my Disney DVDs will be destroyed and I will never watch anything from Disney or ABC ever again.

17. Make sure that you mail them your destroyed dvd's...
makes a bigger statement. :)

I'm mailing them the receipts to all the events dh and I have attended in recent years and copies of annual passes--just so they know how much revenue they will lose from this household.

31. Maybe we can make it a drinking game?
Take a swig every time someone in the Bush maladministration says a variant of "we're protecting the American people".

35. That's a guaranteed trip to the ER for alcohol poisoning.
The "whole thing" better be pretty small.:-)

So when does this televised crapapalooza start here on the west coast?

40. I'll have to jump in after The Simpsons.
It's my life's work to watch The Simpsons.

Yes, I'm every bit as pathetic as I appear.

I've come to terms with that.

16. I think that you are doing one heck of a job.
I wasn't being facetious, I just thought that was a great mental picture.

I am 56 years old and I am still trying to learn the language, myself.

It is all relative.

Edited on Sat Sep-09-06 07:39 AM by C_U_L8R
and not because of the fraudulent writing....
but because of shitty directing, hamfisted shaky-camerawork,
atrocious acting and gimmicky editing.

The damn thing is unwatchable.

26. I'm staying far, far away.
I already know how humans do melodrama (retch) and I already know what They want us to think happened. I've been trying to AVOID news and politics lately, at least comparatively. I have enough right up in my face to upset and depress me without importing suck from outside.

29. Just how up are you on all government dealing during those years?
From what I gather there has been such a blending of truth and falsehood as to really give a person pause as to what really is true. This is despicable, just how the right wing operates. They sprinkle in just enough truth to make you wonder. Rush is excellent at this. It clouds everything , murky. Hope you are educated in the affairs of government to discern the difference.

and I have vowed not to turn on "Dancing with the Stars" this year.
Lost interest in "Lost" last year. Have never been a fan of "Desperate Housewives."

42. I'm watching it if I can stay awake
Many reviews I've read call it a zzzzzzzzz.

That aside I believe if I'm to continue criticizing it, then I should watch it.
