Next step: getting rid of my television altogether. What kind of crap are they feeding us now? "Celebrity Wife Swap"! Are you kidding me? And that's on top of all the other s**t.

Even the formerly good networks, like History and Discovery have succumbed to the tasteless minds of America. Pawn shows, Swamp people, etc. defy the imagination. Television integrity has vanished. I don't even bother with MSNBC with all the overkill politics. I'm not a Republican.

It's not all bad. There were three outstanding NOVAs on PBS last night (Birds of Paradise, volcanoes, and earthquakes). It's the other 95% that sours my view.

Even my last two books were disappointing. When I saw Bill Maher and Penn Jillette books at the library last week, I was thrilled. My conservative minded library has few "liberal" books. Both authors are atheists, so I figured that would be right down my alley. Wrong.

The content was crude and rude, fowl and obscene. The F word (and worse) was prevalent throughout. It was almost enough to make me protest to the library for buying them! They do not give nonbelievers, like me, a good name.

Toss in the crap my newspaper doles out, and you can see why my outlook of the media is so negative. Guess I'll have to stick to the classical and jazz music on the radio.
Adios for today.
