Presidential politics...watching TV...it's really the same thing

It struck me the other night, as the wife scrolled through the little programming guide on TV and found absolutely nothing that made me sit up and take notice...

"There's nothing on"
"I know, so what do you want to watch?"
"I don't"
"Well, we have to watch something."

And there's the big difference...with television, no, you don't...and I told her so.

"No, we don't.
"Whaddaya mean?"
"I mean, turn the damn thing off, let's take the dog for a walk and do something else. There's no law that says we have to watch TV when there's nothing but crap on."

Oh, if we could only do the same with politicians......
