I'm so into it that I actually have a tiny TV mounted over my coffeemaker, so I don't miss a minute of CNN, MSNBC and yes, even Fox, though the FIBs (Fox Interchangeable Blondes) do make me gag. Of course, the irony of the ad situation was that we were promised when cable started that if we paid for our TV, there would be no need for ads. Now, we have both monthly payments and ads... a microcosm of what has become of the American dream: overpromise, underdeliver. Oh well, it's 7 AM. Let's see what's happened overnight.
