Hernán Cortés wasn't the second coming of Quetzalcoatl. The conquistadores weren't coming in peace. Please let the Mayans get one right… Honey Boo is a harbinger of a doom?

Who the heck is this? I must be officially too old to kept up with pop culture. For the longest time, I thought Jessica Simpson was Bart's sister…sigh.

I don't know what a Honey Boo Boo is and I'm glad about that. Also, why is the woman 2nd from the right making her mouth look like an asshole?

Honey Boo Boo is the porker-in-pink flashing the victory sign, while Mom's puckering up to distract you from realizing she was born without a neck, just a "head-stalk."

This must be on cable…the big question I have is why folks still think they should pay to watch tv.

Folks watching 200 channels of garbage and paying for internet service is what keeps me employed. I've pretty much stopped watching TV. I watch NBC for an hour each morning, I watch Netflix and Vudu for all my movies.

Oh I had forgotten that. Yes please everyone carry on with your cable subscription and up your service if you can!
I dropped Comcast 3 years ago. I set up my win 7 computer to record like a DVD last spring and dropped TiVo. I consider myself a bit of a free tv evangelist, but I realize that is not optimal for the Foreman clan, sorry about that.

Unless Congress and whoever becomes our next President pay more attention to the economy and national debt, I truly suspect we're due for another recession. Luxury items (cable TV being one of them) get cut in times of hardship.
I'm hoping to save more over the next 6mo to a year so that Vicky & I could support ourselves if the lean times come. I wouldn't mind a less lucrative job, I'd rather be content & challenged than overstressed & paid.

I disagree, I feel things are looking up. If Romney is elected things will be very bad for the not-rich, but events the past week are very positive for us. I say this as a boomer who has seen two previous recessions and one deflation.

I hope you're right.
In the past two years, I read Stephen King's "Under the Dome", Dan Simmons' "Flashback", Stephen King's "11/22/63", and a number of Wall Street Journal articles comparing the last 8 years to the 70's, 80's, and 90's.
It seems a bit daunting that we keep raising the debt ceiling, that neither party can agree on anything (from healthcare to education to energy policy to foreign policy to budget), and that sooner or later we're going to need to find some economic equilibrium or we'll end up looking like the Euro or Greece economy.

Wasn't it that Honey Boo Boo was on Toddlers and Tiaras and was such a redneck otherwise that people were fascinated? Or was it that her mother was the one giving baby botox and steroids or something?
I've never seen these shows, but she's plastered all over the news.

Yes, that was Honey Boo Boo on Toddlers and Tiaras. She was one of the biggest divas (along with her mom) on the show, which is probably why Discovery Communications gave her own show.
A friend of mine was asking me the last time I watched a educational documentary on the History Channel. Seeing the line-up of Pawn Stars and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, I suspect that History Channel is to history what MTV is to music.

I haven't had cable in years, but that doesn't surprise me.
