Sweet

I wonder if it will still be part of the free viewing that I’m getting right now

If the world didn't suck we would all fall off.

Well...

… if you’re getting the channel now, you should still get it as of tomorrow, the official launch date.

One more day...one more dayyyyyyyy

Yes, yes ... winter is indeed a pond upon which all of us must skate, braving frostbite and runny noses in the hopes that our cars will start and we shan't embarass ourselves slipping on a patch of black ice. Spring is more a quagmire of cold mud and slush, and fall is a pile of fallen leaves that may or may not hide a pile of doggy doo-doo. But summer, ah summer is an oasis of endless green that disappears all too quickly beneath our feet as we rush through its warm, glorious bliss.

Too bad

Ol’ Ken didn’t realize that there are baseball teams in other towns besides Boston and New York.

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.

then again, you need to realize that ..

Ken was alleged to have forgotten that not only blacks and whites but Latinos also fought in the US armed forces in that war .. from what I understand he caught a lot of heat and even did some emergency editing and work to get content in hastily explaining this.

if that was true, it might explain a tendency in his otherwise stellar documentarianism to miss some pretty big elements of the sweeping scope of historical reality.
