I can't. I tried in my hotel room in Boston but I'd rather stick forks in my eyes. "James, don't you think Obama's speach was better...." blah blah blah.

I find it difficult to even watch for 60 seconds.

All the fawning over Obama is sickening. It's worse than when the media went nuts over Clinton.

I usually watch MSNBC, the all Obama all the time station. The David Gregory show is crap, but Matthews I think does a fairly good job with his guest analysts. He has Tucker, Buchanan, and Michelle Bernard, all from the right.

I enjoy debates but hate commentary

When did they start covering political events? No wonder Barbara knows so much.

I like Keith Olbermann, he's a hoot. The dude makes Sean Hannity look like Jim Lehrer.

Outside of the Sunday morning circuit, Special Report with Brit Hume is the only daily political show worth watching.

To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
