The right-wing arrogance of President Bush and company have ruined (or tried very hard to ruin) many things that I hold dear in America: civil liberties, social security, our natural resources, our economy, our standing in the global community and so on.
Though I have felt the impact of President Bush on many of the grander political issues, I didn't think that he would start ruining the simple pleasures in life. But, alas, he has.
Tonight at 8pm, FOX will be preempting a brand new episode of your favorite program and mine, The O.C., to broadcast President Bush's press conference. His rare prime-time news conference comes to us as a reponse to flagging public support for his useless and deceptive efforts to overhaul Social Security.
Personally, I would rather spend an hour watching the cast of the O.C. banter and pose while the latest pseudo-indie band du jour plays in the background than watch my President lie to me. When it comes to young folks, he is messing up both our future and our present.
In protest, we will not be watching the two episodes of Simple Life: Interns that will air after the press conference. So there.
