I should be working on my Domestic Violence paper, something to do with TANF re-authorization, marriage promotion initiatives and how this legislation will effect victims of DV.  Instead I blog.

I was innocently watching my nightly dose of Crossfire. But since Novak was on the right instead of my beloved Tucker, I started flipping channels. I ended up in 1983 “Strikes Back” Damn fun reliving my childhood in a colorful witty stream of consciousness. I was sucked in. Immediately. Between the witty brown haired boy commentary and the many many song clips… wow. A great natural high. I HIGHLY recommend.

I even missed my other beloved, Anderson Cooper on his 7pm news show! Geez am I a news junkie, or an adorable anchor junkie or worse, BOTH?

What kind of man would I be attracted to in life if Alex P. Keaton never existed? A scenario I never want to imagine!

Alex P. Keaton: [Referring to a current infatuation] “Of all the Basic Applied Economic Principles of Capitalism in the Post-Industrial Era Seminars in the world, you had to walk into mine.”

Oh, and I have found a recent resurgent interest in C-Span as well… YES, I occasional get stuck on this channel it all started back during the Contract With America. I’m glad there is no *Supreme Court Oral Argument* network. God Save the Honorable Court! I would never leave the house…anyhow, C-Span and C-Span 2 (I’m told to check out #3 but here in Buffalo we are not so blessed to have the additional airtime)

My very own Alex (giant smiles) has told me to tune in, quite a few times in the last few weeks, to catch a glimpse of his charming, non-partisan intellectual-suit and preppy glasses wearing self in action. Mmmmmm. And if I tell you all that this is a turn-on would ya believe me?

Yeah, I know I know…BUT BUT *Republican, Tenor, Preppy Glasses…* 13 years later and the catch phrase still holds dear to my heart.
