Many times during the pre-election days, I worried about the future of television. After all, the air was filled with political stuff, so where was the money going to come from to assure tv’s survival?
Thank goodness the lawyers took advantage of spaces to tell us they have court time to help about ignition problems, recalling air bags and all the money you might get by just calling one of the hundreds of phone numbers.
Then, too, makers of beauty treatments, providers of products to make us healthier and car makers stepped up their spending to help assure me television will survive.

A Russian woman in New York City is a new immigrant to the United States. It’s 11:00 a.m. on a Wednesday.
She stops the first person she sees walking down the street and says, ‘Thank you Mr. American for letting me come into this country, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care and a free education.?
The passerby says, ‘You are mistaken, I am a Mexican.?
The woman goes on and encounters another passerby.
‘Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America.? The person says, ‘I’m not American. I’m Vietnamese.?
The new arrival walks farther and the next person she sees she stops, shakes his hand and says, ‘Thank you for a wonderful America!? That person puts up his hands and says, ‘I’m from the Middle East. I am not American.?
She finally sees a nice lady and asks, ‘Are you an American?? She says. ‘No, I’m from Africa.?
Puzzled, she asks her, ‘Where are all the Americans??
The African lady checks her watch and says, ‘Probably at work.?
