idiocracy

I’ve admitted it before… I have a problem. The past few months have been littered with mindless tv shows, proving that the Writers Guild of America is the most important association in this country. Ok, that may be taking it too far, but when they withhold their talents, we (US Americans) get dumber. It’s not our fault, it’s the tv shows we had to choose from during the WGA strike.

Now that the real shows are prepping for their return, I offer my homage to the shows that I’ll never forget (but will not miss) from the writers strike:

pick a number
are you smarter than a first-grader
can anybody find the tune

pull my finger

Did I miss anything?

I’m out of words now.

“…this aggression will not stand, man.”

Today (Valentine’s Day) my daughter came home from school with two boxes of chocolates given to her by a boy. I’m sorry, I misspoke. Today my 10-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER came home with two boxes of chocolates given to her BY A BOY! I have so many different responses to that, that I actually have no response. Wait… I just thought of one. Next year we’re not going to celebrate this Hallmark Holiday. That’ll work, won’t it? … Read the rest of this entry »
