This is pretty old, and we’ve all seen it and discussed it before, but I want to make an apolitical point: I think we need to broadcast less television. There is just SO MUCH time to fill up, we seem to just through whatever we can on air, you know? Like, I disagree strongly with almost every political point Glenn Beck makes on his show, but Craig T Nelson here is absolutely incoherent here. I can’t say I really disagree with him on any issue because he makes no sense. He was on welfare, but nobody helped him? What is welfare, then, Craig T Nelson? California’s pluralistic and so is the federal government, but you have no representation? What is pluralism, then, Craig T Nelson? Like, whose idea was it to get an actor from a sitcom my friend used to watch to state his crazy ideas? Did nobody interview him first to make sure he was sane? Who is responsible for putting this doddering sixtysomething man on television? I’d rather an infomercial. Seriously, you guys. Consolidate channels. You’re wasting your own money.
