Another Lesson in Why We Should Not Watch Cable

During the 2008 presidential nominating campaign, I became somewhat addicted to Morning Joe on MSNBC.  The obsessive talk about campaign politics early in the season was perfect no-calorie candy for my political sweet tooth.  By April, however, I had grown weary, and instead began watching reruns of Law and Order (part of me still wants to be a litagator) or Malcolm in the Middle (speaks to my childhood more than I care to reveal).

Every once in a while, however, I lift the political candy ban, and every time I do it, I realize what it must be like to be a recovering addict.  This morning was one of those days.

I flipped to MSNBC at 6:00 to fill my attnetion while I ate my cereal and what do I see? Joe Scarborough talking about the 2012 presidential election, reporting a poll that shows that Obama and Palin are in a dead heat right now.  The presidential election of 2012 has already begun for these people!!!

Please, someone take my television from me...
