I found this story posted over at Slashdot.org, of which some of you may be
familiar. (If you think we can get into nasty, off-topic political fights
*here*, I urge you to just check it out - I mean, you ain't seen nothing! )
Here is the link to the original story in the Seattle Times:

And here is the Slashdot story, complete with user comments:
http://slashdot.org/articles/06/01/07/1056230.shtml?tid=129& amp;tid=133
I urge you to skim through the comments; they can be quite funny. For
example, I tend to agree with this poster's view of what SHOULD and
SHOULDN'T be allowed to preempt 'The Simpsons:'
---------------
Things that are not more important than the Simpsons:
1. Presidential address.
2. Military action this is not accompanied by a declaration of war. (The
Gulfwar, Gulfwar II, Vietnam, etc. fall into this category. US entry into WW
II would not.)
3. Terrorist Attacks (I can wait 30 minutes to hear about that!)
4. The SuperBowl.
5. The olympics...
6. Birdflu outbreak.
7. Alien Invation
These things can wait until the Simpsons are over....

The olympics can wait until the Simpsons is cancelled. Unless the
women start swimming naked.
