Presidential speech last night

Did anyone bother watching President Bush speak last night? I would have, but there was a movie on about some possessed teenager who was being asked by a six foot tall rabbit to kill people (no, I'm not kidding!). That was more interesting.

On my way home from work, people were calling in to the radio station to ask if it was safe for "fair-minded" (i.e. Democrats) to watch the speech.

The advice was, "We think so, but we are asking people to take precautions. You should take a piece of card board and cut a hole in it. Then, sitting at least 15 feet away from your TV set, you can watch indirectly to the speech through the hold. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT YOUR TV SET!"

Well, my trash pick up is Monday morning. This means that I also do my recycling Monday morning, which means that no where in my house do I have any card board. I opted not to take a chance on permanent damage by watching the President's speech.

Kent's on his way to North Carolina, and I miss him already. He comes home on Saturday. It's going to be a long week.
