Comments on: Digging in the dirt http://mothergoosemouse.com/2008/01/06/digging-in-the-dirt/ A first-grader destined for a career as a lawyer, a pre-schooler whose screams can shatter glass, a bouncing baby boy who evaded an IUD, a man who can drink his weight in Natty Light, and a woman who has long since given up caring about the condition of her kitchen floor.

I want it to not be this way, is mostly where I end up in my head with the subject. I always feel sick when I've encountered it in its various rot-gutting forms. Like waaaay too many chips with dip. *mmmm chips with dip* (I actually prefer the chip/dip tummy ache to the celebrity post-gorging nausea.)

I was watching coverage and reaction to Benazir Bhutto's assassination, turned to another channel for a different perspective, and found a Britney story on another news channel. Aargh. Their priorities were definitely not the same as mine! It’s a mania, all right.

We're not tv watchers in our home. We have two channels to choose from. I prefer it that way. I'd much rather debate politics than whether or not Britney is crazy or just stoned. Well said.

Not sure why we'd want that, although a million bucks sure wouldn't hurt. We should all make a pledge to take the hour we spend watching ET or the Insider and focus it on learning more about the candidates. All while running our asses off on a treadmill. Okay, so maybe that's my resolution, but I'm always happy to have folks join me.
