Heavens man, go out and buy a VCR. Theys all cheap now! They practicaly give 'em away in cereal boxes anymore.
A broken politician is right once every four years, after all…
She Bangs!
I guess we’ll be watching cartoon network, which, when you think about it…
It won’t help you if you wanted to be able to watch it and actually vote, but if seeing it at all is of that much importance to you, I’m planning on taping it anyway (I tape every week) and I’d be happy to overnight it to you so you can at least watch it before the results show (which I’m assuming will be) the next night. Let me know.
I also HATE Bush :mad:
Thanks for the offer but I wouldn’t have anything to watch it on. 
If need be I can get my brother to tape it for me and watch it at his house. I appreciate the thought, though (and the hatred for Bush ;))
They generally consider the effect of the pre-emption when they choose to take the President prime-time–at least they have in the past. It’s odd that they’d choose to pick a night that screws over Fox, given that FNC has been Bush’s biggest ally/hand job provider on television since day one.
Is there any kind of pool on how many times he gets to say ‘freedom’ and ‘America/ns’ in a 45 min. so-called press con ?
What about the primary juxtaposition of the evening, ‘sacrifice’ with ‘democracy’, maybe ?
I hate to side with Dio - but I’d rather watch AI/24 too. Bush’s speeches are excruciating to me; I’d much rather (and always do) read them the next day. I get all the information in about an eleventy billionth of the time.
I don’t think I’ve actually seen five minutes of a presidential speech in my lifetime. Reading works much better for me (for comprehension as well incidentally).
I’m still waiting for the combination of Presidential election and American Idol, to be called American President and based along the lines of AI. People from all over the country will audition and be eliminated until it’s down to the final 12. We can then vote over the phone for who we want instead of having to go to a stinkin school or fire station to vote. Sure, I can imagine all sorts of problems such as other countries stuffing the vote by using auto dialers or China getting a couple million people to speed dial. Such is life. No more of these boring candidates, let’s have some 16 year old chicks fight it out to run the country.
lol @ The_Long_Road. 
And while I’m at it, I meant my shot at Dio to come out more facetious than it did. No offense, dude. 
A couple years ago I saw a drinking game designed for Bush’s state of the union. Drink when he flubs his lines, says an overused word, etc. It’s the only thing that could make watching a speech of his bearable.
American Idol :eek:
D/C say it ain’t so! Damn I was really beginning to respect your opinion on things too. I suppose next you’ll be telling us you watch the bachelor/ette shows too.
I hear “Who wants to be a millionaire” and Regis is back. That ought to really make your day.
I have basically given up on television anymore. It is a pathetic waste.
In my admittedly weak defense, I currently limit my reality viewing only to AI and The Apprentice.
I really only have a handful of TV shows that I watch (besides the above mentioned shows, I watch The Sopranos, Deadwood, South Park, Chappelle and Curb Your Enthusiasm when it’s on. That’s pretty much it except for sports and news) but what I watch, I watch religiously. I hate to have my routines interrupted.
Seriously, is there some reason why you can’t or won’t get a VCR? They run as cheap as $50 in some stores. I get that you don’t want your routine interrupted but still…
Sheer laziness is all. I have one but it’s busted and I just haven’t replaced it yet. I watch movies on DVD so I don’t have much cause to use a VCR and seldom feel the desire to tape anything.
I guess I’ll have to buy one now.
Worry that a Wed. date would lead to far to many people watching the West Wing instead?
It’s not sad.
I deserve the special treatment.
Any of ya’ll remember when VCR’s were, like $600? Nobody could afford to get one except rich people, but you could go rent one and a few tapes for about $25 in the mid 80’s, which would be around $35-40 today.
Interesting. For the first time ever, I’ve noticed people using anymore where I would say now. Is this common? Limited to Texas? It’s quite striking to someone who has never encountered it.
Oh yeah… Bush is a cunt for depriving y’all of American Idol. I don’t think he’s trustworthy or nice no more.
At least you admit it and stand by it…guess that’s worth something.
For the record, I have never seen even one episode of ANY of the shows you have mentioned.
I used to like “The West Wing” when it was new. Now it’s just another soap to me. I still catch it sometimes but I’d rather be reading. I watched the first few episodes of that Steven King thing but I lost interest pretty quick. (Kingdom Hospital, I think? It was pretty bad IMO)
Watch sports? not anymore I did when I was younger and used to actually play sports myself. But all my old teams are gone and I’ve lost respect for the “SuperStars” and the multi-million dollar contracts and all the bullshit that goes with it. It’s just another fucking waste as far as I’m concerned. How much fucking money does someone need? How much was that QB’s contract for? Archie Manning’s son…what’s his name. It’s goddamned disgraceful.
$700 hotdogs…who wants a hotdog? You’ve seen that one? Well, it’s not funny.
My son went to a fucking Rangers game at home awhile back. The commercial isn’t that far off.
Anyway D/C I didn’t mean to piss on your rant. You keep on cussing that fucking retard we’ve got for POTUS. You do that every chance you get and I don’t care what kinda shit you watch on TV.
