I am beginning to wonder not only if intelligent life might not exist eleswhere, I don't think it exists on certain parts of this planet

QVC hosts think moon is a planet, or maybe a star

I have to ask, because it begs the question, how intelligent do you have to be to be a TV show host? Does selling dumb things to dumb people lower your intelligence? Don't mind me it's a slow news day when the market is stagnant and even the government doesn't have a clue what it is doing. First they reduce medical benefits, then they reverse their decision after causing a great deal of angst to poor people and the population at large.

There are the strains of blown in the wind wafting by as even the PM won't play in the PM's eleven

There is a difference between being intelligent and being book smart. Consider what I know being who I am, I would be crappy at being a detective, or a chef, or being a television professional. There is nothing wrong with ignorance. Just because you can't carry on a conversation with stephen hawking doesn't make you a lesser person.

QVC hosts are only hired to be pretty and to be able to talk a lot. They must always say glowing things about every product and lie about how many are left and little time you have to get it.

And that was in the future.

I feel stupid at least once a day. If people on YouTube and Court shows and Cops didn't make me feel better by being stupider, I'd ... I dunno

You feel stupid at least once a day... heck I can top that..

The frightening part is that there are enough people that believe the QVC hosts to keep THREE networks in business.

Yes the shopping channels are supported by a level of ignorance

Here is a picture of their offspring.

Well smoothy what do we have here, a coutch patato?

Then there are those who believed all of Brian Williams' lies. He's not a QVC host . He's an anchor of a major news network. NBC is certainly supported by a level of ignorance.
For those who are upset that Williams has temporarily taken himself off air ;take comfort , you can still watch Al Sharpton on MSNBC .

Can we talk about Fox News now?

go ahead . Tell me which Fox anchor embellished a personal story in an attempt of 'stolen valor ' .

Okay Williams got caught in an 12 year old embellishment. That all you got?

12 year old ? He recently repeated it . But I understand . The Dems love it . Richard Blumenthal got caught in a similar stolen valor "embellishment" about serving in Vietnam . His lie was discovered during the Senate campaign and the people of Connecticut still sent him to the Senate .

At least Williams wasn't walking the Appalachian Trail at the same time.

We would have to go some to top Bush's mission accomplished in a flight suit, or great job Brownie during Katrina. Or even Jindal's no go narrative started by Fox.

Just saying.

I get cranky too, Tom, at the end of football season.

WG Mark Sanford's "walk in the woods" was about extramarital affairs. I was under the impression that the Dems were ok about lying about affairs and infidelity .....the Clinton precedence. Now if you are looking for a better comparison then perhaps you should look at Evita's 'dodging sniper fire ' in Bosnia . She never paid a price for that obvious embellishment ,but you know that the Clintoon's have a special immunity .

I was considering lies about where someone claims to have been when he was somewhere else -- and what advantage that gave him.
