Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo

kinda says something about our society.... not sure what, but it says something, and I'm not sure it's good...

‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’ ratings top RNC, Paul Ryan veep speech on Fox News in key demographic - NY Daily News

The fourth episode of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," TLC's reality show about a self-proclaimed "redneck" family, drew more viewers in a key demographic Wednesday night than vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan's speech at the Republican National Convention drew on Fox News, the nation's biggest cable news network.

If you're watching that show, you're probably too busy making wedding plans with your first cousin, or a small, furry animal (which may also be a close relative) to register to vote anyway.

At least we know what Honey Boo Boo is. But do we really know what Paul Ryan is? Even after several viewings?

No we don't.

Kinda like the Health Care Act, vote for it and we'll figure it out later.

Paul Ryan has more of a voting record than Obama had...how many times did he vote "Present"? Want to know about him, read the records...

That's true . . . we know that Paul Ryan was against the Simpson-Bowles recommendations, despite his criticism of the president for taking the same position.

Nope, cut your losses and find an island now, avoid the rush.

We have UFC, Honey Boo-Boo and an us-or-them two party political system that votes themselves money....
