Now some of you may think I watch waaaaay too much TV and you’re absolutely right. Since the 60s I’ve always had my choice of at least 2 of every network including PBS and a handful of independents. My TV is constantly on, even when I’m napping, and I’m sure I absorb it osmotically (yes I do know that means movement of a solvent through a semi-permeable membrane and I deliberately chose it instead of ‘subliminally’ which is not only less felicitous but also hypnotic hocus pocus and not what I mean at all).
Now that we have vocabulary covered and a proper understanding of how marinated in media I am, I’d like to draw your attention to Greenwald on O’Donnell discussing the Democratic Party that you might have missed but through the miracle of the tubz you can experience at your leisure and convenience.

I thought the West Wing clip at the end was simply masturbatory self indulgence. You’re no Socialist Larry, you’re just another delusional Versailles Villager pretending to be a ‘Real American’ like Marie Antoinette pretended to be a milk maid on her play farm.
For context, the setup.
Am I becoming a Video Blogger? No. Frankly it’s a pain in the ass, much harder than real words.
