Dear Local News Channels
Yes, it’s Super Tuesday. If I hadn’t figured that out on my own, your constant proclamation of the fact every 5 minutes during the 5 a.m., 6 a.m., 7 a.m and 8 a.m. morning news would’ve clued me in.
Ditto for the 23 mentions I counted during the noon news.
Within two hours of their opening, you’d already proclaimed that Obama got the Democrat nod in Kansas, Hillary took it in Missouri where McCain edged out Huckabee at the Republican primary. But just in case I hadn’t figured that out from your 5 o’clock and 6 o’clock news, I certainly understood it during the first 5 minutes of your 9 o’clock news show. (The other 19 times you brought it up in the 10 o’clock news program were rather redundant.)
Now here it is 10:53 p.m. and you’re still babbling on about the results. And babbling. And babbling yet some more.
Look, not a single one of you hair-sprayed, Botoxed bubble heads are actually political scientists so why are you occupying valuable pre-bedtime broadcasting time talking about things well beyond your collective, double-digit IQ?
And, please, don’t convince yourself that pulling some schlub from each party’s local headquarters makes you somehow look more erudite. The fact that none of you could think up a single insightful question just served to emphasize that your viewers’ evenings would have been better spent watching yet another rerun of King of Queens.
I just thought I’d point this out since, after all, the Kansas Republican primary isn’t until Saturday and I’d rather spare you — and myself — yet another evening of your vapid blather.

The only good thing about news anchors these days is that they make the rest of us look so smart.
Donna B.’s last blog post..Strange as it may seem
First the Super Bowl. Then Super Tuesday. Then Tornado Wednesday. What will they do tomorrow?
My guess: “Thorazine Thursday”, since Britney’s out of the psych ward.
