An example of how to start a thread for an event on television in GD

Title: Dems are on fire on Cspan.

They are discussing the budget. Nancy Pelosi is speaking. She just commented on Bush's budget. She stated he said to leave no child behind. She pointed out the budget leaves 15 million children behind.

I am doing this to simply point out that it isn't that difficult to comply with the GD rules. It will probably inspire more people to watch.

1. Hmm.

I count four lines in addition to the subject. But the temporary guidelines specify five lines, do they not? }(

2. Uhhh, that would be SENTENCES, not lines....

There are 6 sentences in the original post.

5. If you wrote those sentences properly you would be short

"Nancy Pelosi is speaking. She just commented on Bush's budget." It would be better to say "Nancy Pelosi just commented on Bush' budget."
Ergo, you would not have enough sentences.

I'm just kidding. :P I just wanted to jump on the bandwagon of people giving you a hard time about your post. I'm bored. I like that you gave an example of how it could be done.
