Boycott Cable News This Weekend
They are going to be wall to wall "tea party" madness.

See, put millions of people in the streets protesting a war that hasn't even begun yet and the MSM yawns.

Put a couple thousand mouth breathing morons in the street screaming about a birth certificate and it's wall to wall 24 hour coverage.

Fuck that shit.

4. What Coverage?
MSNBC will be in prison and predator mode all weekend. There's little to watch on there. Chicken Noodle Nuze is operated like the local access station and who cares about faux.

I look forward to the loons and their porta potties. They can make all the noise they want to as it shows how unhinged the rushpublicans have gotten.

The "tea party" game worked when no one was expecting it, but now it's no longer "spontaneous" nor has proven to be an effective spokesperson for anything. It's just a pity party for losers.

5. I've boycotted cable, period, for four years
and don't plan to get it back. Why, when you can get far better coverage of the news online?
