It's only Monday and I've already reached Palin overload.
I promise I'm going to turn off every program on radio or TV that starts talking about Sarah Palin. I promise! Are you listening, Media??

2. Don't listen to news for a week or so. The book came out today

so the media will talk about it. But they won't talk about it forever.

15. isn't it pathetic that Obama's Asian trip has to compete
with this drivel. I guess it says something about the state of education in this country, and the state of our culture--although there has always been an interest in the bizarre.

I think Cspan will be a safe place this week, and probably NPR--but I wouldn't promise on them. CNN is an automatic no-go. Sure she's a media darling--she practically does their job for them automatically. What we get is drivel.

16. update.
It's terrible out there--it's like radioactive fallout and it's everywhere! I've turned off XM radio, All Things Considered, Chris Matthews, and Ed Shultz--and those were the only things I tried to listen to.

I'm going to be getting in a lot of time with my book tonight, I'm thinking. Which ain't bad. ;)

20. update again.
Turns out Cspan radio wasn't safe either! They were talking about her--maybe on a repeat of Washington Journal? Off it went. Sadly, Rachael Maddow wasted the first fifteen minutes of her show on it. I did watch the show but fast-forwarded that much of it.

The one who did not mention Palin tonight: BBC World News America.
