Ramble on

A place for the mind-numbing thoughts that run through my head

An Open Letter to America

Dear Citizens of The United States,
Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You so often let me down, yet this time you caught me by surprise. We don't always see eye to eye on the decisions you make—reelecting Bush Jr, not supporting stem cell research, watching Two and a Half Men—but this time you did me right.

I can't even begin to count how many good shows I've lost because of you. Veronica Mars, Arrested Development, Drive, Firefly and Wonderfalls are just a few of the programs that have suffered from your apathy and I was so fearful that the same thing would befall my new fav, Pushing Daisies. It's so quirky, so over-the-top, so unlike anything else on TV that I was convinced that you wouldn't embrace it. But you did. And you love it as much as I do. And as a reward for solidarity we've been given an entire season of this year's best new show and I know that I have you to thank for it. I am only one man, I can only do so much, but if we band together as a nation, I know that we can return this hunk of land to the great place it once was before the Iraq war, political dissention and Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader.

Now, let’s talk about a little show on NBC called Friday Night Lights that needs your help

All the best,
Jarett Wieselman
