help! I'm bring forced to watch Faux "News"!
Here I am at my in-laws. They're watching Faux News. What wonderful xmas-eve entertainment. :eyes:

A couple observations:

-All the news anchors keep saying "Merry Christmas." Are they doing that on other networks? It sounds like the kind of thing Faux would try to cram down our throats.

-I saw an ad for the Weekly Standard. I have *never* seen an ad for that rag on any other TV station. Fair and balanced, my ass.

Faux "News" : wholly without merit.

--
That which does not kill me only delays the inevitable.

1. You poor thang...
will your spouse let you just pack up and go back home? If not, maybe it's time for a "temporary" separation? I was "stuck" watching Faux at the gym once. :puke: I HAD to cut it short and get the hell outta there. My sympathies to you.

and oh yeah,

MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

2. Check out the Home Shopping Network
You can all have a patriotic holiday together, and follow the pResidential directive: "Buy. Buy. Buy."

Your R relatives all need more stuff, don't they? This is the perfect solution. No need to thank me. I just enjoy being helpful.

Feliz Navidad, and best wishes for keeping the family peace, SH

3. If you want to show them why not to watch Faux news,...
go to http://www.dailyhowler.com/dh092602.shtml

and read how Brit Hume purposely lied about and distorted Gore' s record.

have fun!

5. I feel your pain.
I'm about to go over to my parents' house and my dad watches Faux all the time. At least I live nearby, so I can go home when I want to. Think you can talk them into a game of cards or something?

6. Take up smoking...and take a walk...
That's what I've done. I used to smoke a pipe and whenever I got stuck at in-laws' houses and felt I wanted out, I'd announce I was going to have a pipe and that I was taking a walk so as not to "smell up" the house.

I'd take my pipe and walk, and be gone for an hour or so...

If I was in a town with friends, I'd be gone longer...
