11. I don't have to listen to ignorant, hate-filled blowhards. it is disgusting enough
just knowing these cretins are given air time.

4. I mute all commercials
Edited on Wed Mar-26-08 04:55 PM by Cronus Protagonist
I see them all day at work, the last thing I want to do is hear them again on TV. For some odd reason, I don't mind to look at them, I just don't want to hear them :P

6. Buchanan doesn't really bother me that bad.
Of course, I live in a house where Fox News is watched every evening, so I guess my tolerance of bullshit might be a bit higher than some around here.

8. I turn the channel immediately. my accountant tells me that replacing televisions
because I throw things at them is a very expensive hobby

16. Sometimes. Although if Rachel's on to counter him, I may listen.
It's seldom enough that I watch anything else on MSNBC other than Keith--I have to pick and choose--but sometimes Pat is worth suffering through just to see Rachel smack him down.

17. I started to use the mute function quite a bit
I decided yelling at the TV was not normal and it also confused the dogs. Now I don't feel nuts and my dogs are happier.
