Uncle Ron's Ramblings
Love Lost: Could somebody tell me why poor Jennifer Love Hewitt always has to be preempted for politics.
Suggestion for the organizers of the presidential debate. Since the debate follows "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" on the Fox network, perhaps the candidates should be allowed to see—and let the voters see—whether they are smarter than 5th graders. That would be more enlightening to voters.
Actually when the show was in its planning stages the producers thought about calling it "Are You Smarter Than a Politician?". The idea was rejected because they finally decided that concept wouldn't be much of a challenge for contestants.
They also thought about naming it "Is a Politician Smarter Than Jennifer Love Hewitt" but they didn't think that would be much of a challenge for Love.
