How many of you could have watched Petraeus but chose not to?

[Stinky The Clown]

I started to watch then realized what a monumental waste of time and blood pressure watching that crap would have been.

He wasn't going to say anything his leash holders didn't want him to say - so no newz was coming.

The Senate wasn't going to do jack shit other than give him what he wanted - so, again, no newz was coming.

The three Mouseketeers - er - candidates would give grandstanding speeches but, again, will actually do nothing - so yet again, no newz was coming.

Various camp followers and hangers on would also speechify. I expect Goober Graham and Holy Joe had words to share. Goober probably got all puffy chested and outraged at the "Democrat Senators" and defended General Dave.

I chose to watch a Modern Marvels marathon on History Channel and then go to my rental property and do some more work on the renovation.

And I never got to yelling at the teevee.

It was a good day.

1. Turned him off as soon I realized what was going on - heard him on an NPR affiliate.

I stopped donating to them years ago.

3. Yeah, I'm with you on that blood pressure thing.

It is the same song and dance from last year.

4. it was worth watching just to see how arrogant this administration remains

cheney said 'so?' when asked how he felt about two thirds of the american people not believing in this war. crocker and petraeus basically told the congress to go fuck itself today. or they basically said 'so?'

i chose to watch because i still find it hard to believe that my country is in the hands of these criminals.

5. I couldn't bear it.

6. I've changed quite a few things as of late

I only try to change what I can.
That being said...I voted today. That was the most I could muster.

7. For what? I knew the thing would be a waste of time.

Dog and pony shows are like that............

8. TCM was on in our house all day

Like you, I refuse to watch them tut-tut and move on anymore, and I'm a happier person for it.

But I do hope someone will tell me if Congress ever gets around to doing anything serious.

9. I started watching but just couldn't keep hooked up so I turn it off and worked in the kitchen

put up the crown molding on our cabinets and yes I had a good day too.

10. It's the same old, same old, same old shit.

They lie.

I refuse to pay for cable and gardened.

That felt better.

Here's something to reference against McSame.

11. I watched until I started screaming at the TV. Hubby was trying to sleep

so I went to town instead and did something useful with my day.

Hope you see this, it's been so long since you responded to one of my posts, I think I'm on your ignore list


:yoiks:

[Stinky The Clown]

13. My ignore list?

I don't have an ignore list!

I like to see who loves me and who hates me!

You I love. I hope its reciprocated!

:hug:

14. always my friend

:pals:

[Warpy]

12. Not me. I've actually been working on getting my kitchen cleared

out, hoping that one of these days I can get it renovated.

I've seen all these loyal automatons lie before. I don't need to see it again.

[NMDemDist2]

16. well, with the bottom dropped out of the building boom up there

hopefully you'll be able to finally find a contractor

wish I could be there for the garage sale :drool:

:hi:

[cynatnite]

15. I watched the opera 'Romeo and Juliet' instead...

was far better, IMO. Placido Domingo conducted.

17. I had class today

I could have skipped if I really wanted a coronary at 22, but going to a lecture about the Vikings was more fun, although I think some people might be questioning my sanity for sounding slightly gleeful in recounting the Danes hanging a bunch of prisoners across the Seine from Paris to get them to cough up the ransom of 7000 pounds of silver.
