Best advice: Do not watch any TV news. First of all, they suck. Second, only tiny numbers of people watch cable news. Third, mostly older people watch network news. They don't have the influence they used to.

And, they suck.

Nothing but shrieking whining and doom from what's left of the GOP, right-wing hate radio and moronic argument-by-jpegs online.

I am watching the World Series and ignoring a lot of the political stuff. I have a political dinner Sunday, but other than that, I understand. Disconnect for awhile and stay healthy!
