I am going to have carpal tunnel from hittingnhe mute button.

These ads are all the same, all they say is they hate Obama, they hate Washingon and their opponent loves them both.

I always find it odd that they hate Washington but if we have a huge tornado here Washington is on speed dial.

Hurry up Tuesday!

that I just hit mute the second an ad comes on, even the kids do it if the remote is closer to them. My wife is addicted to some game on her phone and she says that the ads have even followed her into that realm.

by developing an app that automatically blocks political ads and replaces them with something less annoying like the sound of a chainsaw, or leafblower.

For a slightly larger fee you could even choose the sound you'd like to use to the political ad.

I could see the explosion of sales of smart TV's right before the 2016 elections.

I'm so sick of Tom Tillis, I just can't express it. Just seeing his picture flash up on the TV makes me want to vomit.

I'm in Chapel Hill.

Going to the Halloween party tonight on Franklin Street. Wonder how many political costumes we'll see?
