My turn to chime in...

I watched nearly eight hours of presidential inauguration coverage today, which is exciting and really tolling on my knees since I like to sit Indian-style in my recliner. Anyway, after all of that, I think my favorite moment was this one:

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

My other favorite moment was when Brian Williams said that President Obama looked like he was jonesing for some Nicorette after the luncheon. That's why I watch NBC. But hopefully I'll be back to work tomorrow (yay me) and in full force, which means no more TV during the day, except my 1 hour escape for As the World Turns. Gotta watch it. It's addicting.

This is why...

Life needs to not be taken so seriously. I love my NBC News, but so far for the Republican National Convention, I'm sticking to The Daily Show for all the latest (I swear, I was making snide remarks after every applause pause Fred Thompson took in his speech last night... I really don't think I should watch the RNC coverage... it's stressful that people are so... you know).

The DNC on NBC

So, I have been watching the nightly DNC coverage on NBC. It is interesting, but what I think it most interesting is that most of the speeches work out just like the State of the Union address. It's a fifteen minute speech that gets dragged into about 30 minutes because the person cannot talk over all the clapping. It was especially noticeable with Hillary Clinton last night. I had to turn it off because it went past 11, and I would rather watch The Daily Show making fun of the DNC than the actual DNC coverage. Hmm... tells you a lot about American politics, doesn't it?
