the Republican Klown Car, endless pundits analyzing and guessing at what? Republicans dissing Planned Parenthood. Oh, and endless clips from Fox News. We might as well watch Fox News. At the end guest host Alex Wagner did a puff piece on gender issues with air conditioning.

Where is Chris anyway?

So far Rachel is dissing Fox News on how they are picking polls for the debates. But if she doesn't switch gears soon, I'm out too. I haven't seen a single story on Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders or any of the Democrars or even what's really happening in the news today.

All they were talking about was how Hillary was falling in the polls and Trumpethead was surging. There was a passing reference to somebody named Sanders and some speculation that Joe Biden might enter the race and, if he did, he might be the Dem candidate. They twisted themselves in knots to avoid much mention of this guy, Sanders, whoever he is.

Fox is having a GOP debate! And they are only going to include ten candidates. Now, here's a chart of all the GOP candidates! These are the ones who will be on Fox! These are the ones who won't! And, OMG, did you know that Rick Santorum is really unhappy about it?

And on and on and on.

Been watching a few movies on my "get around to it" list, and catching up on NOVA and other documentaries.

On edit: I wrote the above before checking TiVo and, dang, did I call Santorum being upset or what?

Fox is having a debate.

Christie was booed in New Jersey (oh, and Fox is having a debate).

Re-hash of a quibble with Fiorina's super PAC name (and, by the way, she won't be in the Fox debate).

Oh, and the Voting Rights Act was passed in the 60's. (Three minutes on that breaking story)

I 'm enjoying it but looking around to make sure no one is witnessing me do it.
To be fair, the GOP debate IS this week and there's not much going on in the world (except for CNN which is devoting a lot of time again about the missing plane). When Bernie starts winning primaries he will get major coverage (well l HOPE that happens). It frikkken better!
