My wife bet me $1 that I couldn't sit quietly and watch the national news on a mainstream network without yelling at the TV. I lasted about 2 minutes.
I gave her an old beat up dollar bill.

Now bet her a dollar to not talk either way you cannot lose really.

Tom make sure to bring her when we tour the Alamo- she sounds like a great gal!

I wish I had given it up sooner. In retrospect, it was the alphabet news outlets that turned me from being a rebellious young liberal to a staunch conservative. The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour was the most balanced news available back in the day. They still had a liberal bias but they invited opposing points of view.

It's a great laxative.
Also recommended by the poison control center to induce vomiting.
That's the only uses I have for it smile

If you would have just given her the dollar first you wouldn't have had to torture yourself for two minutes.

One of the things I despise most is when they (national or local news) covers a story and tells you "what you need to know". Change that to "what we want you to believe".

And what was it, exactly, that caused you to yell at the T.V?

I have a SERIOUS distrust of most news outlets to start with. The story about Giuliani got me going. I know he's no saint. I can't think of any politician that is though I'm sure there are a few with good intentions and ideas.
These reporters should skip the commentary and save the drama for the real actors and just report facts.

So, you are not able to say, what it was, that caused you to yell at the TV
Once a gain I ask , what, specifically, caused you to, “YELL AT THE TV?i

Was it one one specific item, or or you just——. Whatever…………… another another blowhard.

That is sure a sign of maturity. We’re you home schooled?
