News Hour with Jim Lehrer. It airs at the same time as The Simpsons...and Tivo, maddeningly, can't do what 1970s era VCRs could do, allow you to watch something on one channel while recording another. Just so you know.

Never regurgitate, orginate! Ideally, chutzpah feathers one's soul melodically. Rhythmically, supergalifragilistic sounds baroque indeed nefarious but Springsteen defenestrates only stumblebums..." vote.
