Soap Opera?

Why do they call daytime TV shows Soap Operas? What a weird name. I realize that when they first started out, soap companies sponsored these shows, but opera? I don't believe they could EVER be considered an opera. Let's see we could call them Soap dramas, but at times. that would stretching the truth. Daytime gossip? There's plenty of that in each show. Serial Gossip? Wait! Just change it to Cereal Gossip and tap a whole new income stream!

To this day, if you ask me, I'll tell you I NEVER watched one minute of that trash. Well, there was that Dark Shadows thing back when I was young. Thankfully, it only ran 30 minutes, 5 days a week for 5 years. HEY!!! I only watched it for the soap commercials! Get off my case!

Trail Turned Cold

If I were a wannabe political type person and my "Hey-look-at-me" index was heading south, what would I do???
Oh yeah, I'd quit my current office 18 months ahead of schedule. That would get all the pundits talking and in turn would get the general public abuzz with my name*.
Funny how the media falls for this move EVERY time. And the public? Like a moth to the flame.

* Please note that the name appears nowhere in this blog.

What Blog?

Good Grief! I forgot I had this blog. I'm on verbose overload...My Space, Facebook, Twitter, blah blah blah all about me...

I must remember to post a new rant soon. Maybe I'll rant about not remembering my own blog!
