Fair and Balanced!

So I am sitting in my room waiting for the Comcast guy to fix our cable. It occurs to me that I rely on my TV for nothing less than daily sustenance: MSNBC, Comedy Central, ESPN, E! and Fox News. “Fox News -- Always good for a laugh!”

That, not “Fair and Balanced,” should be their slogan.

And now, actually, my internet won’t work, so I am doublef*cked and composing this on fancy stylish Pages, MacBook style. Last month it occurred to me to start blogging about TV, and I had this day, March 5th, picked out for whatever reason to begin.

But on Oscars night I got all flush and had to pound out three or four paragraphs to make me smile about the whole affair. “Argo” winning kinda pissed me off, but who the hell I am I? Lots of people loved that movie. Brain dead people perhaps, but people.

Daniel Tosh had it right when he questioned the whole enterprise: save the six people who snuck out, too bad about the sixty still in the embassy? Some hero you are, Ben Affleck. Anyway, I’m not even supposed to be writing about the movies. TV is the game here, and actually, Tosh is a good place to begin.

But we’ll do that in a couple days, when I do a few paragraphs on the most important channel on the dial, Comedy Central... See you back here on March 7th.
