Can I rant for a second?

[Andy_Stephenson]

I turn on TV is is all Reagan all the time. I come to DU to get a away and what do I find all Reagan all the time. Let the networks take care of Ronnie...I am sick of Reagan already and he only died 2 days ago.

Jeeeeezus!

Rant off.

1. I'm all ears

[Andy_Stephenson]

11. What a great pic that is.

[Love Bug]

2. Time to catch up on your reading or DVDs!

[ewagner]

3. Cheer up!

I got a good laugh from Randi Rhodes a few minutes ago..

she said: Reagan is lying in State and Bush is lying everywhere he goes!

[Az]

4. No. The ranting hour was over some time ago

If you want to rant you will have to wait until the official ranting period returns tomorrow.

PS If you are typing your rant from a nonauthorised freespeech zone please cease and desist now. Either make your way to a designated freespeech zone or type something nice about Reagan or better yet George Bush.

Thank you

[leyton]

9. Rant hour postponed.

Terror threats in the middle east. We can't have you ranting at home. It sends the wrong message.

Please put duct tape over your mouth and remain calm.

5. Maybe Nick at night

will run the Addams Family marathon like they did over the weekend.

[seemslikeadream]

8. or maybe the time they were on the Family Feud!

6. That's why I don't watch t.v. anymore..

and if I watch? It's an hour or two of cooking or decorating shows. Perhaps a documentary. Screw broadcast t.v. Haven't watched it in years... Kill your t.v.

7. I'm at work!!!!

Less Ray-goon, more boredom. Read a good anti-numbnuts regime book instead.

[sadiesworld]

10. I agree, but it seems the political world has come to a

screeching standstill in order to inter the great one. What's a junkie to do? :shrug:

More veep threads? :o

12. I'm planning on a Lord of the Rings festival this week

I've got the extended versions of Feelowship of the Ring and The Two Towers and the theatrical version of Return of the King.

so in my house, it will be ALL FRODO ALL THE TIME!!!!

Frodo Baggins, a bigger hero than Ronnie Raygunzzaaappp ever was!

[fujiyama]

23. Have any idea when

the extended edition of the Return of the King will be released?

I'm really looking forward to watching the extra footage (like the fate of Saruman).

[nostamj]

13. just take a

TOON break... I haven't watched anything but the Tony's and a 6-hour Stephen King mini-series since <deleted> went into death-related-program-cessation-activities.

[in_cog_ni_to]

14. I couldn't agree more!

I couldn't give a crap less about Reagan. I haven't watched one minute of the crap about him and don't plan to. It's BORING! Who cares about Reagan????!!! Not me. I can't wait until I can watch C-SPAN again. Even THEY have all Reagan, all the time. The Senate is paying tribute to him and I can't even watch them! I'm having withdrawals. :cry: This is awful. On TV and DU. Reagan, Reagan, Reagan, Reagan. Enough already!

[Andy_Stephenson]

15. 14 messages on the front page with the name

Reagan in it...ARRRRRRGH!

[joanski01]

20. I'm with you on the C-Span

deal. I love watching the Senate. I came in this afternoon, after being out all day, turned on the Senate and they were in a quorum call. The note below said they were in Morning Business giving their tributes to Regan. Ack!!!!!!!!

The Senate is supposed to vote tomorrow on Kennedy's amendment about the bunker-busting nuclear bombs. I don't want to miss that. I want a count of the Senators who vote to start a nuclear war. The Republicans are saying the money is going to be used for a "study". Yeah, right, says Ted Kennedy. $500 million for a study???

[bobthedrummer]

16. Time to listen to Ethel Merman disco!

:hi:

[HFishbine]

17. Oh, the irony... (eom)

[Robbien]

18. It is not just TV and DU, even alternative radio is in on this snoozefest

I miss the hide button. If we could hide the funeral sludge threads it could be easier to hold alternative discussions.

[Andy_Stephenson]

19. what happened to the hide button?

that feature rocked.

[Robbien]

22. Too much new traffic from the RW talk shows made Elad turn it off

and right when we needed it the most.

[nostamj]

24. disabled

along with sig lines, etc. due to increased traffic...

21. Afraid you will have to put up with it until Friday.

Paraphrasing a remark I ran across at another website, "Reagan did what Bush couldn't do, stop the Kerry campaign in its tracks." I hope this is only a bump in the campaign road.
