Its disturbing that people who don't know who controls the House are even watching CNN. What's that old saying? "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing".

That's because The Daily Show, Colbert, and CNN are indoctrinating...not informing. I think most Americans get their political opinions from Letterman, SNL, etc... Husband once said that "Life is not a sit-com"; but it sure doesn't bear any resemblance to what is called "news".

I know a very, extremely liberal lady who gets her political information from the OPRAH show.
