The Boring Show

For some reason Alice and I have never really seen the need to have cable or satellite television. I know this lumps us in with the 0.17 % of people that still use rotary phones and drive Oldsmobile station wagons, but we've never felt too deprived, until........


The News Hour with Jim Lehrer.

Don't get me wrong, I frickin' love the News Hour. Jim Lehrer and Gwen Ifill can stop by for a beer and dinner any time they want. The problem is that the News Hour just doesn't cut it for Viv- she calls it 'the boring show' (as in, 'Daddy, is this the boring show?'). I know that Lehrer doesn't have the pizazz of a Brian Williams or an Anderson Cooper, but boring? Hardly.

I guess we'll need to get some fancypants news program to keep her happy.
