POPSNewsweek - television minus electricity Read the whole piece by Scott McLemee. The Newsweek article declared Lincoln the winner, by the way. (full disclosure: I am a "Facebook friend" of McLemee's, which is to say, I'm not really a friend of his at all) CLARIFICATION: He friended me after I signed up as a fan of his blog. Other than that we have had no personal contact at all.

I’m a doctor, I have two kids, I teach, I manage to exercise most days, and I still manage to cook. It’s just a matter of priorities. It’s a matter of deciding that this is the way you’re going to spend family time and relaxation time—not in front of the TV, not driving somewhere in your car, but actually just in the kitchen for a half hour or 40 minutes, making a meal.... But when people give me that as the ground rule—'well, you know, I just don’t have time to cook, so you’re going to have to find a solution for me that doesn’t involve cooking'—the answer is: Sorry. When people really get sick, they have all the time in the world. All of a sudden they go to all these doctor’s appointments and they have to stand in line at a pharmacy to buy their medications.
