My Blank TV Screen on Tuesday

Watchwoman: My DH and I were not the only ones who didn’t bother to listen to Obama’s political campaign speech Tuesday delivered under the guise of the State of the Union.  I didn’t want to get a case of the irritations, working up my allergy to the itching obamaginations. I wasn’t alone. Read below the names of more who snubbed him. His ratings were the lowest ever, down by 12%.* ▬ Donna Calvin
