Luigi and I were talking at the Breakfast table this morning. His 'will take it anywhere' laptop is usually at the table while he is drinking his coffee. Ever since we got that Linksys in our home, that laptop goes everywhere including his trips to the bathroom. I used to think he was constipated because he was in there so long. But it was just that he forgets where he is while that piece of an electronic modern marvel engulfs his senses.....I would say maybe a little obsessed?

This morning though he wanted to discuss the Al Franken book he was reading, "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them". He said it wasn't a flippant book and had quite a bit of information that was researched well. He talked about Franken's discussion of some Government events that went on about a month before 9/11. But then he started talking about Sean Hannity which brought a bit of mirth to our morning meal. Luigi read about him in the book and said that he thought Sean had a Pre-Cambrian forehead. He reminded me that Neanderthal Man was recently discovered to be still hanging out when our common ancestor Homo Sapiens walked the earth. So he felt maybe there was a little cross mixing of the Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens. Possibly that Hannity had a little of Neanderthal in his genes.

I really don't care if some of Hannity's ancestors were Neanderthal. Although I was laughing too this morning at Luigi's Anthropoligical musings. But I can tell you I am not a fan of Sean Hannity. He is the most vituperative, viscious, mean little man on Television. Now I don't watch that much T.V., but sometimes do sit down on the couch next to the Remote King if something of interest catches my attention. But I have seen him a couple of times. He is always hounding People on his show that do not agree with him or are not of the Republican Party faith. He is mean spirited, opinionated up the wazoo and does not seem to have any respect for some of the guests that he has on his show. He really does rub me the wrong way.

I ask myself how people like that ever make it that big. But I think that is the whole point. I know he is bound to have some fans, but maybe many people watch because they love to hate him. I do not always agree with Bill O'Reilly but for some reason I find him way more tolerable that Mr. friggin Hannity.

I told Luigi that my father used to like watching Walter Cronkite and he also remembers David Brinkley and Chet Huntley. Thirty or even twenty years ago, I think these kind of current T.V. 'accusers' would never have gotton anywhere near even having a presence as a news jounalist if that's what you can call Hannity or any other Hannity wannabes. Maybe they don't call themselves that anyway. Maybe they just think of themselves as 'fair and balanced' Dudley Dorights who make this a better world for all of us by exposing the 'bad apples' among us. What a pile of horse manure!!! Get me outta here.

There just isn't any class or sophistication on T.V. anymore. (Hannity doesn't even know what those two words mean.) And don't get me talking about Reality T.V. I don't even want to go there. Biggest piece of crap in the last century.

o.k. I got that off my chest. I'll be back to Peach Goody 2 Shoes tomorrow........until I get one of my political rants cravings again.
