Sadly, I can't avoid watching them; it's my job. But the rest of you--save yourselves! Don't worry about me--I've got a .45 and a bottle of whiskey right here by my side for when it gets to be too much.

When I was a kid, back before cable TV, and we could only reliably get two stations over the air, the political conventions meant about two weeks of *nothing* on TV other than political conventions. My brothers used to slowly run our TV through all the possible stations, praying that the atmospheric conditions were right for us to get some off-the-wall UHF station or maybe the CBC, because no matter how snowy, noisy, or horrible the picture was, it would be better than the endless horror that is a political convention. I got a lot of reading done in the evenings during the conventions.
