distractions, distractions

Just as it seemed that I was getting to be a somewhat consistent blogger, life got in the way and my activity has dropped yet again. I promise, dear readers, that this was but a momentary lapse in blogging vigilance.

But, I do say, that the reason for the distraction was a noble one.

For the past week, I have been attempting to right my television situation (as previously referenced in "antenna debacle" and casually mentioned in other posts). I will come out and say it now, though:

Bust out the "Mission Accomplished" banner and put it on the battleship: the war is over!

Just today, I mastered my mysterious new technology and thus have access to the channels I need. Now I will be able to watch Monday Night Football, just like every other flag-waving, God-fearing, red-meat-eating American (or 'murican, as Tyler correctly pointed out). I will also be able to watch my beloved New York Football Giants more often (but sadly not Real Madrid CF, because GolTV is a money grubbing network) which should be great.

Do not fear, though. I will be sure to not let my added breadth of tv networks distract me from my blogging duties.

Lengthy post tomorrow on the state of things re: election and possibly football.

Former writer for conservative weekly National Review, Christopher Buckley, had the following to say regarding his support of Barack Obama:

"I'm putting it all on black, as they say in Vegas..."

In other words, this man is taking my new Obama slogan to heart. He is betting on black!!!

Also, I'm pretty sure that was a fairly racist statement on his part. I'll allow it though.
