What to buy? How to know?

   How am I supposed to know what to buy these days? Am I actually missing the product commercials? What's happening to me? Why can't I see in color?? The political advertisements are getting so bad that sometimes an entire commercial break is filled from one end to the other with politicians. And of course at this point they're all slinging poop at each other. Thank goodness for TiVo - most of the time we can fast forward through them. Otherwise I would like to thank the inventor of the mute button.
   Interestingly without the sound the commercials take on new life Like the one anti-Kerry ad that looks like it's old film. The words on the screen go something like this: "John Kerry ---next screen---> murders Americans" Perhaps I missed something on the commercial. And then there's the ones where the local candidates use photos of their rivals. Except they use the worst photos they can find that usually look like a "before" picture. It makes me wonder before what exactly.
   And one more reason for not liking the political season. When people put advertisements on the windshield of my car, they should consider that if it is raining it will stick to the window which does not make me happy. And if I had only half a brain I might not vote for those people for that singular reason. Luckily I only have a quarter of a brain left at this point.
