Hmm... I could jump out a window, Or pound a nail into my hand - or, watch Mourning (sic) Joke!

I've only seen it half a dozen or so times when I've travelled and it graces my hotel TeeVee. But folks that has to be the most depressing show, the most awful cast of characters I've ever seen! Sure, O'Leilly, Hannity, etc are bad - we expect that, they are laughably bad. But Mourning Joke takes depressing events into a whole new league! Joke and Meek-a combined must have an IQ barely escaping single digits!

1. Listen to ANUS in the Morning, then!

He always has interesting guests, even if you don't care for him personally. I think it's Craig Crawford today.

They rerun it, too, so you don't have to hear it live. http://www.imus.com/home/home_2009_1_14.html#

3. I enjoy Imus also. If he gets crazy at least there's Levon Helms..LOL....n/t

6. Levon Helms is on Imus-- gee, I love that guy...

I still imagine him as the young bluesy, folksy, soulful young drummer/vocalist he was with the Band--getting off totally playing with the likes of Muddy Waters, Paul Butterfield, Ronnie Hawkins, Dylan, Clapton and Neil Young. He's an original.

9. He's a fave of Imus's, was very supportive of him when things went bad for

Imus. One of the things I like about him, he never forgets those who stuck with him through good and bad. I had never heard of Levon Helms but was hooked after I first heard him. Imus plays him a lot.

2. And yet as bad as it is

you still watch...

:shrug:

4. Out of the corner of my eye while drying off just out of curiosity!

We get only basic cable at home, so haven't regularly watched any TV in years.

So you flew past my main point about the show to get snarky? Hmmm....

[Zywiec]

5. Was your main point that

they were the most awful cast of characters you've ever seen, or something else?

I guess you'll be listening to Rush later today since he must be the most awful you've ever heard.

7. I am always amazed when the odd jerk shows up here. That's you, by the way.

[Zywiec]

8. And I'm always amazed at the people without any control

to change the channel on the TV, yet cry about it in a thread.

Maybe you should have taken one of your other choices and jumped out a window or pounded a nail into your hand.

Enjoy the rest of your day.
