Boooooooooo-ring!

Exciting

When I was growing up I had an Uncle that loved to take us kids to this little 9-hole golf course that was across the street from where we camped every summer. I liked hanging with Uncle Gary and I was glad to be able to spend time with him, but damn is golf boring! As boring as it is to play, I can't even imagine why any sane human being would watch golf on TV! There is even a 24-hour golf channel!

As bad as that is, it would make for riveting viewing compared to the live coverage of Donald Trump's indictment:

Here comes his plane... Landing gear are coming down... It's getting lower... Lower... Lower... And it's down! The Trump plane has landed! Now it is taxiing... Still taxiing... More taxiing... Still more taxiing...

[Several hours later]

Here come's Trump's car... Driving... Still driving.. Here we have an aerial view... Notice how the roof of the vehicle is black so that it coordinates with the sides...

[Twelve hours later]

Donald Trump is going to make a statement... Whoopsie! We are out of time! We will have to cut to Rachael Maddow for an explanation of what Trump is about to say. Take it away, Rachael!

I would rather watch paint dry. When I see that in such-and-such time slot CNN has some number of thousands of viewers, those numbers have to be inflated, right? No one really wasted 12 hours of their life yesterday watching this shit, did they?
