We have lots of episodes of The Sopranos rented. Thought it would be kind of fitting...

He’s the Obamessiah, a Marxist stooge. What’s not to love?

I won’t watch or listen to any of it. All media is off for me that day. Rush promises commentary during Obama’s and Biden’s speeches ... and I’m tempted ... but I think I’ll pass. I’ve been loading my computer up with podcasts to listen to during the day and my dvr is loaded with television shows I deliberately didn’t watch so I’ll have good television viewing that evening. I’ll just come here throughout the day to see what’s posted.

I’m headed to Las Vegas. I’ll be enjoying the Wynn Hotel for three days and throwing the bones during the start of Obama-nation.

Any other freepers going there?

I can't wait to not watch it.

I have my NY Giants DVD set. I'll watch the last game of last years season where they lose to the Patriots. Then I'll watch them go to Tampa and beat them, go to Dallas and beat them, go to Green Bay and beat them, go to the Super Bowl and beat the Pats. All so much better than anything to do with BO.

This little black duck won’t be watching him. It’s bad enough knowing that he “will” be my President, that I sure as heck don’t have to watch it. I bet a lot of folk don’t either.

My HD satellite will not care nor be bothered by such wasted viewing.

The MSM will fawn, coo and drool over their messiah. I could care less. The lessons learned will be payback enough as will the godlike status that Obama has been raised to.

They are the only ones who do not realize that NO man has ever achieved perfection and they unknowingly have the public expecting and demanding just that.

I sure won’t be watching. His eagerness to allow babies in the womb to be murdered make him one dangerous man.

He’s not my president as Bill Clinton wasn’t either.

Hey, PJ - You get quoted in the final paragraph:
"One wonders if the Rod Blagojevich wiretap tapes will be included," noted P.J. Gladnick of Newsbusters, a conservative watchdog Web site. "But what to do after the inauguration? Don't worry, Obama fans. There is another adulatory Obama channel already operating called MSNBC."

If the people are so willing to follow and worship this NOTHING, imagine how they’ll go nuts over the real Antichrist, who will do signs and wonders (nope, I don’t think Obambi is THAT one).

When Obama was elected in November my mother bought me a copy of the next days newspaper because she knows I like to collect such things. Then she realized that I probably didn’t want to collect anything at all associated with Obama so she never gave it to me. I thanked her for thinking of me BOTH times.

I think it’s going to be a “King of Queens” DVD marathon for me.

We will not watch any TV next week. Let the ratings show how many people are turned off by the hideous media force-feeding us this propaganda.

I usually have the news on during the day, not next week. I have a load of DVD's I've yet to watch. I will be starting with the miniseries "John Adams."

Unlike the Superbowl though, which is shown by a single source, you will not be able to avoid Obama coverage. It's going on already. I'm tired of it already. I was tired of it eight months ago.

I'm sure we'll be told with great glee how high the ratings were for the Obamagasm. They won't bother to tell us how comparing the two events is apples and oranges. You have to make a conscious effort to watch the Superbowl, if your tv set’s on you won't be able to avoid the coronation.

Too bad there's not something akin to the difficulty rating used in some sports, like diving. It would let you adjust the rating of a tv event based on how many stations are carrying it.

First my article appeared in the Wall Street Journal a week ago and now I am quoted in the Washington Times. The Peej is on a roll!!!
