Mute

I do not watch much television. My favorite show is on PBS, so it isn't interrupted by pesky commercials.

But I have watched enough TV recently to know that I cannot stand ANYBODY who is running for ANYTHING right now.

Have they no manners?

I would not talk about a temperamental dog the way candidates talk about each other.

Enough already.

And...

Quit filling my mailbox with stuff I haven't asked for.

Quit filling my in-box with e-mail I didn't ask for.

Just stop. Stop it. I cannot take it anymore.

As a mother, I want to send them all to their room until they can behave and talk nicely.

So, from now until Wednesday, the commercials will be muted.

And, I will make up what is being said.

At least I'm having fun with that.

Sort of my own little Mad TV.

I hear that. What I want them to stop doing is calling me from God knows where. Bill Clinton has called, Lance Armstrong has called, the governor of Pennsylvania has called. Ugh.

I have even gotten calls asking for votes for people who live and are running in an entirely different state! It's insane.

I think that I can say that I hate them even more than you because, it's not even my country or my election! And I still have to listen to them! I like your idea of muting them. I think I'll do it.

Oh, we mute, too. :) And I'm not even going to answer my phone again until Wednesday! We've never before received so many political calls. Never. Sigh.... Everyone I know is complaining this year about all this stuff... Debra

AMEN...so much for PRIVACY on communication devices we PAY for!!!
I love the part about muting the commercials and then adding your own dialog!!! It could be a new game...sort of like charades...and we'll market it as "Guess My Platform" or "...and She Rants."!!!
