> [@Marley23](#): > > Seems kinda pointless to beg for an early end to this stuff with only a week to go. I say ‘only a week to go’ hoping the election ends on Election Night as opposed to, say, dragging out for 36 days afterward… Oh, yes, indeed. I’ve been watching an awful lot of Animal Planet these days. The snakes and such all seem so nice and civilized. ---

Bloody commercials are everywhere now. Doesn’t matter what channel I’m on. There needs to be a mandatory week of silence before the election. Any coverage on the news is fine, but all commercials are right out. We’ve already heard everything these shitheads have said before. All the last week before the election is the same thing said more often and at higher volume. Give us one quiet week to consider. :mad: ---

Don’t get local TV, but I’m up to three or four recorded calls a day. Ben Stein called me on Sunday morning. I actually listened for a bit (instead of my usual hanging up after two quick hellos and no response) but hung up when he got to the phrase “Hollywood liberals.” ---

> [@Melandry](#): > > New Hampshire doesn’t have TV stations of its own (except PBS, I believe) so the ads for the NH senate race are on the Boston stations. WMUR, Channel 9, Manchester hits the mother lode every 4 years. Most of the NH ads I’ve seen have been about their governor’s race. Apparently Benson has pissed off everyone in the state in only 2 years. Can Toronto broadcast TV be seen any further away than Buffalo, anyway? ---
