Why Bother?

Should I bother to look at the news this morning? I watched a few minutes of ABC and NBC last night via streaming video. The ‘Talking Heads’ were in their full glory, talking a lot and saying nothing and so I turned it off. Our television antenna is still lying on the ground while we wait for the fence to be rebuilt and so we couldn’t have cheated and watched a real television even if we had wanted to. And after watching some of the commercials for the current NBC shows, it will be at least another 6 months before we watch television again. Except for Netflix, of course.

Ah, the fence. We wait and we wait. The ground is still too wet to bring in the small tractor that will pull the few remaining poles and then dig the new ones. There is a chance that it may happen later today. The fence-less wide open vista, seen from our kitchen window, is interesting, but we’re ready for some privacy again. Privacy being relative of course; the closest house in that direction is about 600 feet away.

OK, I’m curious. I must look and see who the leaders are. Oh, %/!#*@&#!!! No winners? We have to endure even more of this nonsense? And Huckabee is still in the race? Are there no limits to ignorance? Obviously not. But I should know that after watching events of the last seven+ years unfold.

But…a thought. Could it be that this particular Super Tuesday finish was engineered by the media and the political campaign staffers? This way they still have a job and the campaign advertising money will continue to pour in. It’s a perfect storm!
