It occurs to me that if Adultery and Children Born Out of Wedlock were eradicated from the country overnight the "creative team" at the Jerry Springer and Maury Povich shows would have no ideas.

Judging by what I am seeing on television, the country is behaving as if we've never inaugurated a new president before.

What gives?

- that there should be a very bad place to send the people at Lower My Bills dot com.

These are the folks who place the ads on blogs and my feed reader that have the awkward dancing robots, skeletons, women, and unknown creatures. Quoting the baby that buys a stock online in the TV commercial, somebody "underestimated the creepiness factor."

A pox on them!
