I just remembered, I watch news channels, too. Cable and satellite basic are horrid...I dropped my expanded cable for basic...it was great, then after 911, the basic evolved into just local channels, one Spanish channel and the rest QVC type stuff. My belief is, the channels that sell junk should only be allowed on air if they pay subscribers' monthly charges.

Great Big Boy
I was 29 and it absolutely stank
I made a lot of friends and hung out at the bank
I bought a silly house on some very silly land
If anybody asked, I said this is who I am

Happy, contented, stuffed with dollar bills
I stood like a taxidermist's elk upon a hill

Suddenly I'm stupid and the world's too big for me
I hang my head and mumble my face between my knees
I find a little cave with a sign that says for rent
It looked a lot better than my place ever did

I found a way to live there so I am no-one's fool
When I look up I grin, when I look down I drool

I was 29 and it absolutely stank
I made a lot of friends and hung out at the bank
I bought a silly house on some very silly land
If anybody asked, I said this is who I am

Happy, contented, stuffed with dollar bills
I stood like a taxidermist's elk upon a hill

ps..Great Big Boy is one fantastic cd...
