  1. I’ve shamelessly put this on FB and Twitter, but it bears repeating from the mountaintops:

    There’s a real disconnect in our society when an Eggo shortage causes more panic than Congress spending us into financial ruin.

    Honestly, I’ve heard more people mad about there not being frickin’ Eggos in the stores than about the raping of our nation. The sheer apathy and ignorance in America, or at least in Jersey, is maddening.

    I saw it this morning, too, doing laundry. The laundromat had Rachel Ray on TV and the audience is applauding like crazy over mentioning butter, garlic, and other ingredients for a recipe. It’s like the people who watch that stuff are little more than trained rats who cheer for whatever they’re told.

    For the record: I despise Rachel Ray.

  3. That makes two of us, friend…the inanity of morning TV makes me fear for the future. Even Sesame Street isn’t safe now, with that Communist agent Elmo telling kids to get the H1N1 vaccine.

    I’ll stick with Mister Rogers for the baby, old-school Hanna-Barbera and Bugs Bunny for the 5-year-old, and nothing for me.

    I enjoy watching Mr. Rogers because he loves me just the way I am.

  5. Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood was the BEST show for children, bar none. (It was good for grown-ups too; I only started watching it for real when I was an adult, along with my daughter. I videotaped as much as I could.)

    I grieved for our nation and its children when they stopped showing reruns of his show. That show was built on learning values and love–what could possibly be better?

  8. Fred Rogers was a good and decent man of God. He was a Presbyterian minister, I believe. By the way, never eat the new Hormels White Chili while taking an anti-biotic that you can’t take an anti-acid with, It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
