I am officially losing my mind.. send in the medics
I walk by my TV, CNN is on, and McCain is speaking at one of his GAWD awful rallies of the brain dead.

He starts talking about Obama being untrustworthy, I stop and start yelling at the TV.."Just shut up, for the love of Mike, Just shut up already."

I am yelling at a TV..no one is in the house. I have started communicating with inanimate objects.

The republicans have driven me to this.

HELP!

:spray:

1. You are not alone. There are many of us out here doing the same thing.
I sometimes have to remind myself NOT to throw something at the TV...

I really think he would have had a better chance staying on the high road. It's just sad.

There's been a TV camera up his cute little keister for the last two years and you STILL don't know who he is?... and somehow that's HIS fault??

15. You are most definitely not alone!
The other night a few minutes after yelling something at the TV, I was feeling really hot. I asked my husband, "Is it hot in the house or is it me?" He said it was just me and suggested my blood pressure was up from yelling and he was probably right. I really had a hard time cooling down, weird. It's ridiculous how all that b.s. can make you so angry!

16. I have had to remove heavy objects from around the tv...
Edited on Fri Oct-10-08 03:56 PM by AnneD
I automatically throw things at the screen. I use to never do that. And I cuss like a longshoreman. I am so ashamed :blush:

17. My daughter is constantly reminding me...
...that the objects of my rage can't hear me. She's right, but I just can't help myself.

22. I do that too and I yelled out loud, curse really, while driving and seeing a McCain/Palin sign or
sticker. I am seeing more lately. Haven't seen any Obama signs and only a couple of stickers.

23. Back in 2002 when I first came to DU one of the funniest threads ever was about yelling at W on tv
What do you do when W comes on screen? the OP asked. The answers were rofl hilarious. One couple said they mooned the TV every time.

Believe me, honey, you are NOT alone. What sane responses can there be to madness on this scale?

26. My teevee is never on those stations. If something happens
I'll hear about it. But just like I wouldn't expose myself to smallpox, I don't expose myself to that poison.

27. I talk to the TV and to my computer.
I have rolled up socks to throw at the tv because I can't afford a new one. I also use MUTE a lot.

I haven't stopped cussing since W was elected. My screensaver is a countdown clock from backwardsbush.com.
