Why risk having what is already known shown to be wrong?

But it wasn't a comment about ratings but rather a comment about being comfortable with preconceived notions. When Jerry Falwell condemned Brokeback Mountain without actually seeing it his view was rightly disregarded. I feel the same way here.

Whew! I was worried that, by what I perceived to be your logic, I would actually have to bend down and sniff that pile of what looks like dogcrap prior to cleaning it up and throwing it away. I was also worried that I was really going to have to listen to the Dixie Chicks to ascertain that their last album was indeed pop and not country.

I based my decision not to watch this show on three things: I object to the network producing something that claims to be what it is not.

I don't watch infomercials or paid political commercials.

Harvey Keitel gets on my nerves. Used to like him, but he's gone downhill.

Neph, am I correct in assuming you didn't watch it either? I just wonder, as you said "From what I hear.." in your post. Not taking you to task if you didn't- I obviously didn't watch it as well. If you did watch it, where was the Bush admin nailed? Still waiting for an actual example on that one.

Oh, and I agree with Scrooge with regards to the Commision Report. Good post, Scrooge.
