Magnum Mania!

The Encore channel has it right today, July 4, 2016! They are showing "Home From The Sea" at 5:05 pm PDT! A July 4th episode on July 4th! How about that!

That's awesome!

We're watching A Capitol Fourth on PBS. The cast of the Broadway show "On Your Feet" did a medley of Gloria Estefan songs which included, "Conga". I start chuckling because I'm thinking of "Pleasure Priciple". Everyone else looks at me like I'm nuts.

There's a chance you might have already seen some of it. PBS is taking heat for running footage from a previous 4th or another fireworks festivity, at least in part - the reason for using archive footage was inclement weather according to a PBS spokesperson.

Isn't this sorta like re-gifting... too funny.

I just can't with this stuff anymore . . . how can a live showing of a fireworks celebration be buttressed with archive footage? What makes this acceptable? If your local one gets rained out (does that happen?!?) then bring in another feed from another location.

Just keep feeding the masses empty distractions, keep shoveling . . .


Sorry for the rant. I'm carrying my soapbox around with me today.

You're preachin' to the choir brother as far as I'm concerned. Our country seems to have lots to shovel too!

I second that!
