Weekend pundit shows make me crazy. Cokey Roberts is the only woman I
can think of, Brenda, who appears regularly. And she's just as smug,
full of herself and waspish as the men are so what difference does it
make what sex she is? I really can't think of any reason why I should
let these people tell me what I should think.

Wouldn't that be something? I know I said I don't see the point of
political discussion and the info Brenda has written in this post is
part of the reason why. I've suspected for a long time that what
you've written here about political power, the narrowing difference
between the parties and the faulty info given out by the media is
true, Brenda. It discourages me a great deal because I don't know
what to believe or where to go to try & figure it out. I didn't
really care much for either candidate in the last presidential
election but couldn't see a reasonable alternative outside of
refraining from voting at all. Couldn't in all good conscience do
that either.
