Bah. Guess who is staying at work until at least 8PM, because traffic is messed up to where the bus ride home would take at least 90 minutes? It's a good thing that today's round of nagging e-mails to the writers actually prompted them to hand off some conten, else I'd have nothing to do right now.

To put tommyrot's quote in context, from the same article:

CNN has also been down steeply this year in total viewers and 25-54s but not as much as Fox, and in October its 25-54 primetime audience was essentially flat at down 1 percent.

And both Headline News and MSNBC were actually up in that demo last month, by 18 percent and 19 percent.

So, yeah, indicators say that's likely the reason.

I will be watching CSI! (and tivoing SPN tonight and tivoing GA tomorrow).

Bwahaha! At the chaps conversation. Can I tag the question bit, Cash? "Aren't all chaps assless? Otherwise, wouldn't they be pants?"

I'm pretty sure I had chaps as a kid. I think I may have lacked a certain amount of cowgirl credibility, though, because I'm also pretty sure they were red corduroy, and thus, not particularly functional.

I cannot comment on the ass portion, though, because I was a child and that would just be inappropriate.

Oh, and the news shows are all down in our demographic because we're all freaking watching TDS & Colbert!

ok, it is 7 am in Ethiopia. Can people who stay up later than me and all the west coasties just think good smooth court thoughts? thanks.

I will do this!

I'll think good thoughts in my sleep, ok? Oh lord. Want what we want! Want msbelle to be mommabelle.

Um, ok in latest news of my asshole teenage neighbors, they had another cautionary visit from the cops. Seriously, I saw one of their buddies pissing on a tree the other night. So. Do I call 311 and report (knowing the cops are anal around here due to, gulp, 3 arsons)? Or wait until they are acting up again? Or leave an anonymous note on their parents' door? The hesitancy comes from the fact they've seen me witnessing all this, thus I don't really want to invite crappy ass, juvenile retaliation. God. I hate people.

Thinking the best court thoughts and will continue to do so. I'll be up for a while.

Ugh, sarameg. I've no idea what I'd do. Do the cops just not faze these boys at all? God, I'd have been grounded and punished and never been allowed to watch TV, talk to friends on the phone, or... much of anything if I'd ever done anything juvenile delinquenty that resulted in a visit from the cops. Seriously.

Holy shit, the onion naan at the new Indian place is good! Mmmmm, onion naan.

I got the Chicken Tikka Masala, which I believe is the Indian equivalent of Chinese Beef with Broccoli. In other words, the generic white person dish at an ethnic restaurant. But they had goat brains on their menu should I start to feel more adventurous. I got JZ her fav - Palak Paneer.

I will vibe smooth court thoughts in the morning.
