I am getting really upset with TV lately.  1st, for what seems like the past 847,362 weeks the Olympics has been on every single channel NBC owns NON STOP!  I watch alot of TV at night and one of my favorite shows is Law & Order which is on NBC and USA (among other networks as well).  I also like other shows that are on and I have been left out in the cold without them so I can be given the chance to watch power weight lifting and other such events that I could care less about.

Now, I am not saying that I think the Olympics are dumb or that I do not appriciate what the athletes do, I’m just saying that it would be a great idea to just add 2 channels to cable that are Olympics non stop that way people can get their fix of people running fast around a track and I can play crime solver and help Stabler and Benson solve a crime!  That’s all!

I was glad it is finally over so I can go back to my normal schedule….UNTIL……THE DNC!

NOW, that silliness is on even MORE channels!  WHY does every channel feel the need to put the same thing on??  It is worse then when the President does one of those useless speaches that take up every network and CNN!  I could care less about this DNC thing.  As a matter of fact, DNC stands for DO NOT CARE!  Put the darn thing on the 24 hour Deep Sea Fishing Channel or something like that and give America back their shows!

I had the chance to watch some clips this morning on the FOZ 25 news and I was so glad I was at work late last night setting up my fantasy football team because if I was home and had to flip through 345 channels of seeing/hearing Hillary Clinton talk in that slow paced, mono toned voice I would have probably smashed my TV to make her stop talking and then drink every bottle of Bud Light Lime I had until I passed out to avoid causing further harm to my precious electronics.

And it isn’t that I do not like her, I just do not like being forced to watch this horrible programming.  Pubic Access TV with meetings about what towns want to make their official town pie is way more interesting then the DNC!  And to top it off, the Republicans have the same crap coming up!  For the love of god, just make it a web stream!  I can’t even watch Unwrapped due to this!

When I did get home last night, every show was like running late.  They were ending at like 11:18.  I was so mad I watched some movie in Spanish and I don’t even speak Spanish!  I was just appriciative that they had the guts to not run the DNC and stick with their original programming.

Sorry to rant.  I don’t think I am even going to vote now.  I could care less which one of these clowns win.  All I hear is the Charlie Brown teacher voice when they talk (blah blah blah blah blah).  I know there will be many of you who say “You need to vote and you can’t comnplain if you don’t vote” etc.  Listen, I have voted for things I care about…I recently won an election in my town, so I understand how it works.  BUT, why vote if I do not like ANY of them?  That is my vote…by not voting.

Someday I will run for President and will never run a negative commercial, never say anything bad about the other opponent, never make up a ton of lies and then back peddle on them etc.  I will just tell you what I want to do, surround myself with good people and have a blast going around the country listening and talking to people.  If you have even seen the movie “Man of the Year” with Robin Williams, you will get it.  Give me someone like that, and I will love to vote.  I am tired of politics as usual and the taking up of all of my tv time.

Richard Pryor was on to something when he said “Vote for none of the above”.  Now with that said, I am over tired, cranky and need to find a chicken sandwich to brighten up my day before I start to blog about the welfare system and how fried chicken gets a bad rap.

  1. Sad to say, but I agree with you 100% on all of this. It is a shame that there a lot of people turned off by the current race. What are we supposed to do if we do not like someone?

  3. I don’t understand why they need to pollute the tv with this coverage. There is no need for it. I cannot believe you are the 1st one to have the sense to write about it. It is so stupid how they do it.

  4. Why don’t you run for President. I will vote for you. Will you still waste time or write a blog as the President? At least you would be funny.

  5. Hillary Clinton looked like she got a shot of Botox. And enough with the pants suits…I would love to see her in jeans or anything other than those ugly suits.

  6. Hey Big Daddy, I agree with every thing you said. Yes, there should be options when you are trying to relax and catch a little TV. What’s the point when it’s the same thing on every channel. Oh but wait. Do you feel the same if it’s FOOTBALL (I HATE football) on every channel all day Sunday???? Thank God for LIFETIME!
