"Troubled notes should be sent" said my friend Rudy


My friend Rudy wrote (in a troubled note) that, "troubled notes should be sent."  He was absolutely right, and in that spirit I sent this note to GE, because the NBC/Unicorp general comment email function does not ...


Dear NBC/Universal corp.,

I admit I am an MSNBCaholic.  I am powerless over MSNBC.  It became a seemingly harmless habit when I made the transition into unemployment.  You know, at first it was very casual, harmless ... fun, even.  Just a little Morning Joe... That was just the gateway program, though (I quickly outgrew the weak content and analysis level of the candy apple former Congressman).  I was ready for the bigger scores of 'It's the Economy', which just became a bridge into the harder commentary of Schulz & Maddow.

I don't even remember the day that I switched to Olbermann.  Though I had flirted with the lighter and less addictive sports reporting form the days before his commentary had been refined and made far stronger ...

It kinda sneaks up on you, you know?  I wouldn't have even realized how addicted I was.  Thank god Michael Jackson died. 

I might never have known how addicted I was if he hadn't sacrificed himself to show me my sins. 

The days are getting a little better as my body starts to accept the CNN replacement therapy.

Thank you, GE,  for switching to all Michael Jackson coverage, otherwise I might have wasted my life staring into the gourd of MSNBCtv ...

ps. I sent this over Capus' head cuz I peg him as the MJ 'fanboy'.

Crazy how much (unconditional) love a man(?) can get from singing and dancing (better than most other people). Who cares that he was extremely disturbed, a (hard core) drug addict and (possibly) a pedophile! I couldn't begin to imagine the skeletons (children and chimps alike) he has in his closet(s).

I lost a lot of respect for their network this week and the network lost me (at least temporarily).

O,
I don't know if I can say
just how much I do agree
Lots of times I didn't go
When I really had to pee.
My addiction you've exposed
and now I know from MSNBC
I've been nothing more than hosed.
So now my dial goes to CNN
To rescue me from my sins.
Well until things are back to normal there
and my drugs are back and sane again.

Ok... I tried. Anyways you are quite right I was sick to death of all the coverage of Jacko's death the day after he died and still it goes on and on and on and on and... You know what I mean.

Yes. I have always been half thankful that MSNBC showed Lockup: Ohio (or wherever)on the weekends, it forced me to go outside simply to avoid the problematic situation of spending my 'free' time watching the incarcerated on TV ... which is just too sad for words.
