I was watching a teevee show last night, and they kept coming back from commercial with a notice that “viewer discretion is advised.” As opposed to “American Idol” or “Survivor” or “Dancing with the Stars,” where viewer discretion is most certainly discouraged.

So, more black smoke up the old chimney this morning. I know this because they felt compelled to tell me on NPR during my ride in to work. Now I guess I know how sports atheists feel during March Madness or the Super Bowl. It’s all anybody seems to be talking about, and yet I really don’t give a shit.

I only hope they get it over with quickly.
