Welcome to my world. I am a middle-aged male locked in the good fight. I try to balance work with being a good father and husband and even have a little fun once in a while. Expect a free-form collection of musings, observations and the occassional rant.

OK, so I had the good fortune to have a morning off. So an English Muffin, a newspaper and the remote control were definitely in the cards. I watched Sportscenter and the News back and forth. At 9 the talk show circuit begins.

I know all about daytime TV, I used to work nights. I have never watched more than bits of pieces of shows whose topic descriptions are listed as "transsexual slave traders and the obsessive/compulsives that love them". It is amusing but a complete waste of valuable breaths that you may need someday. But what amazes me is the amount of such shows and the longevity that they have endured. A seemingly endless parade of loud, belligerent, easily provoked, reality-challenged welfare trash that have absolutely no shame whatsoever. If I am ever in the position of having "slept with my wife's sister who turned out to be a space alien with Narcolepsy" I sure wouldn't feel the need to go on live television before miilions and be berated by a Ratings-whore host and an audience full of unemployed idiots with nowhere else to go.

So beyond the psychology behind what would make someone subject themselves to that publicly; despite the fact that people watch it and love it. How many idiots are there in the world before the pool dries up? The math is mind-boggling. The deep south has clearly contributed greatly but what then?

LOL, Kelly.

I never watch daytime TV. I couldn't if I wanted to, as I'm #5 in the rankings for who gets to decide what to watch on TV, haha. Even the baby ranks higher than me!

Make sure to include the ones on the TV court shows as well. Nothing like an idiot who admits he/she owes the money that was lent to them but somehow feels justied not to pay it back because he/she helped them move a couch out to the garage or something like that.

They are actors, and prepped to create as much 'mayhem' as possible. Much like pro "wrestlers" (except they, at least are gifted athlete-actors).

Now then, that crack about the South (or was it Cracker?   ).... Lotsa folks from the rural North could as easily appear on that show. In fact, look up Allentown, N.Y.   

Too much "Reproductive Isolation" seems to produce those folks.

As to the question: How many idiots are there? Well, how many do you need?
