Overdue

Andrew Sullivan has been near the very top of my blogroll since I started this blog, but I haven’t read him in months (except to follow someone else’s link to something in particular) because he seems to have come unhinged against the administration and his critics over “torture” (but I really think it’s about the gay marriage thing). Things like this are also why. I’ve finally removed him.

For Those Who Fear Christians More Than Islam

The argument seems to go that the “religious right” is attempting to impose its morality on the rest of us. If that’s the case, you’d think that “conservatives” would support blue laws against alcohol sales on Sunday, right?

“I’m not so sure that the whole issue really is one of commercial avoidance,” Shaw said. “It really is a matter of convenience–so you don’t miss your favorite show. And quite frankly, we’re just training a new generation of viewers to skip commercials because they can. I’m not sure that the driving reason to get a DVR in the first place is just to skip commercials. I don’t fundamentally believe that. People can understand in order to have convenience and on-demand (options), that you can’t skip commercials.”

No, of course not. No one wants a DVR to be able to skip commercials.
