My wife just came into my office, wrestled away my clicker from my hands, and turned off my TV. She's concerned, especially after my previous fits during Meet The Press, about my screaming at Wolf Blitzer who has turned his channel into the Clinton News Network.

I'll echo the sentiments of this fine Republican woman sharing this house with me, framed in a question: "Why did you waste the past hour watching a barrage of propaganda designed to harm the Obama campaign?" I could only answer with silence. She is absolutely right. It was a waste - I learned nothing new, losing count of the number of times Blitzmouth said the word "Wright" again. The ratio for Clinton/Obama supporters given air time was 72/28!!! Damn... do we need to amend my FEC complaint and add another name to my charge against Limbaugh for failing to report (in kind) campaign contributions?

Like the credit card commercial... all that favorable free air time is PRICELESS! It should be logged... and reported... right?

Where can a TV addict go for fair coverage of the Presidential Primary? Neither C-Span nor BBC are 24/7. With my fancy monitor turned off (thank you Sheri) I can access the internet. OMG!!!! cnn.com/politics/ has ALSO been hijacked by the Chillary Camp! EVERY headline links to a pro-Clinton or anti-Obama story!!! How do they get away with this. Abominable! Can't even find a link to offer my opinions to Blitzer and Crew or the their webmaster... have they removed their contact pages? Screwball chickens! Screaming gain.

Oh oh... Sheri's back... Now, warning she will next go to the garage and flip off the circuit breaker, if I don't disconnect my CNN access and calm down. "OK Dear..." [quitting Firefox and Safari] Yes... it is easier to breathe now. Will someone find a link and ship some stern words for me? Thanks.

But still... where can we get the news fix we need? Guess I could go look at the Huffington Post again. Better not... the lights might go off. Wonder if there's any chance Ariana can be convinced to pump HuffPost profits into launching a TV news network? There's a project to work on after the Hoosier tallies are completed! Yea... I would come out of retirement to work on HuffPostNetwork!!

Ah ha... I can power down everything now... and do my afternoon swim... with a huge smile: The Daily Gallup was just posted! O-man is up to a (statistically significant) 49% over Chill-woman's 45%!!!! Spread the word in the Hoosier and Tar Heel states!
