The Robin and Roy Show

How many more days do I have to put up with these two? This must be a close race but for heaven's sake save your money and have a debate or something. I can't believe that one undecided voter is going to be decide to support either of these candidates based on the ads they have put out.

I used to think that the solution to these things would be for people to create funny ads but then I saw one that I believe was intended to be sarcastic. It was supposed to be some kind of retro ad attacking Robin Carnahan's attack ads. I seriously doubt that any one who supports Roy Blunt would be astute enough to catch the sarcasm.

You can't tell me the economy in this country is in that bad a shape if there are people out there willing to donate money to these never ending campaigns.

If the founding fathers had known that these people were going to interrupt my viewing of The Good Wife or Dancing with the Stars with political ads they would probably have written a little addendum to the first amendment prohibiting political ads. I don't think they realized someone would have invented TV when they decided to have elections every two years.

I do think the very least that people putting these ads on could do is disclose who they are. I understand the ones that are approved by the candidates. I understand who the Democratic and Republican senatorial committees are. But the ads that are sponsored by some anonymous "committee for a road back to freedom" or some other cockamamie group should be banned. I can only assume that Karl Rove is behind most of those.

It is a shame that the elections have to be held in early November when the weeks leading up to the election have all the  new shows premiering and returning series broadcasting new episodes. Finally there is something to watch on TV and we are subjected to the "Robin and Roy Show."

The least Congress could do is to schedule the elections during the summer. That way all they would interrupt would be the  Real Housewives of New Jersey, New York, Atlanta and D.C. They could eliminate the ads completely if they would just have battling housewives go to work for opposing campaigns. I would love to see Nece storm into the opposing camp's campaign headquarters and rip a wig off Kim.
