It costs a fortune to raise a kid. Today mine asked me to spend $ 4.95 and repaid me for a lot

Without the call from my kid, and his patience in talking me through how to access it, I would not have watched the debate, the rumble between Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly which just now ended. I have not been more royally entertained, or more enlightened in all the ways these two are different, or alike, than I could have imagined.

It was topical, it was real, it was funny, it was enlightening. Listening to the audience reaction also brought information to me.
These two arch political enemies, though somewhat endearing to each other, put on a show that simply would not quit to political junkies like myself.
Jon Stewart will live in my heart forever - as if he did not before - but his quickness and brilliance with material not predictable makes him even more of an intellectual marvel to me.
O'Reilly, well, I don't much know the dude. But he impressed me with his wit and his willingness to step in the ring.

If there were any way I could share this experience with my friends on DU - I would.
I'm sure someone, somewhere, can make it available to you to see.

Remember I said:
Watch it.
You won't be sorry, you'll laugh your ass off, wet your pants, wish that more people who understand you and your political convictions were in the room to high five with.

What can I say.
The 4.95 allows me to replay it a time or two. So, just come on over.

I accessed it by paying ROKU the 4.95, I have never before paid for a show except for my monthly Cable fees.
It was worth it in the end, as I said.

I went to www.rumble2012.com/roku - paid the 4.95 with paypal.

But then, until a month or so ago, I did not have ROKU and I still don't know how to use it.

here is what my son said after I sent him the link which expressed my frustration about how others could see it as well:

Easy! You didn't pay roku, you just watched it on roku.

Anyone who wants to see it just has to go to http://www.therumble2012.com and pay the $4.95. Then they can watch it right on their computer.

LOVE your post! So glad I hooked you up!
