Your TV Show Has Been Delayed
I usually stay far, far away from political jib-jabbering, but this line was far too good to pass up.
Here's the rub: One of the Law & Order spinoffs made a benign but comical reference to Senator Tom DeLay in a recent episode, prompting DeLay to write a letter to NBC's president. Now, that alone may not seem even remotely interesting, but buried in the article is this tongue-in-cheek comment from the show's creator, Dick Wolf:
"...But I do congratulate Congressman DeLay for switching the spotlight from his own problems to an episode of a television show."Just something to brighten your Friday. I laughed.
By the way, I'm going to be running into a bit of free time this weekend, so there will be a large bevy of content coming your way shortly. Just a heads up.

I agree. Politics can be a tricky subject, mostly better left to the people who follow those sorts of things.
Of course, when a TV producer calls out a senator for diverting attention, I can't help but take notice.
And as for the 'delayed' joke... well, I just like lame puns. Call it a character flaw.
Hey, I'm just glad brother DeLay figured out that the channel changer was a device invented for the purpose of discovering that there is more to televised life than Fox News and C-Span.
Just wait until Old Tom channel surfs across a rerun of "That 70's Show" or "MadTV." Busted blood vessels and heart palpitations! That's my prediction.
