“Have fun,” A told me when we discussed the guest gig.
OK, so here are some random thoughts garnered during a flu-induced, NyQuil-driven, holy-crap-my-back-just-went-out-on-me-too day on the couch:
– Can we call for a moratorium on these ads while I’m trying to watch the playoffs? I want to explain to my kid what a bunt single will do in a tie game in the seventh inning, not why the guy in the weird tux is leering at his Stepford Wife or what this group of “excited” band mates are singing about.
–Then again, maybe there are worse things to be inundated with…
– Why is there a direct relationship between how sick you are and the dearth of decent TV on during the mid-afternoon? I’m unable to get off the couch and even with 200 channels, there’s nothing to watch. Seriously, THIS was scheduled to run just before “Days of Our Lives.” (It didn’t actually run; there was instead a skin-care ad. Guess everyone’s being hit hard by the financial situation in this country…)
– Speaking of colons and infomercials, the Hannity/Palin/McCain interview finally has been unveiled. Fortunately for the electorate, Hannity stuck to his roots as a serious journalist:
SNIP
Hannity: And on top of all the other responsibilities of being vice president, and that means national security, and all the other issues.
McCain: Could I just interrupt for one second?
Hannity: You can do whatever you want.
SNIP
– As for the rest of the interview, this should give you the gist of it…
OK, back to the couch. See you next Friday and thanks for having me.
