Television Lite August 5 – August 12, 2012

Here we are, right back to rerun land.  I know the Olympics are the cause.  There is virtually nothing worth watching on any major network due to the games.  The thought being that the world is glued to the battle dome of idiots looking for medals. Truth is there is a fair amount of folks in each country who  couldn't care less about the Olympics.  I am one, I haven't watched a thing since they rolled up the ridiculous sod on the opening ceremonies.

  While I'm at it, if I hear one more chant of USAUSA, I'm going to lick a light socket.  Give me a reason to be proud of the country that doesn't have to do with watching others jump on things and then we can talk.  Till them, its the horrific Gaslight Anthem, Springsteen tribute band on Letterman, in repeat.
