I have watched over 90,000 hours of violent TV shows, and that was before the age of 10. I learned some valuable life lessons based upon my electronic childhood. Here are my top 5 private detective television shows and the lessons they taught me!

In late 2006, two American soldiers from Fort Carson died in Iraq. The army said the privates were killed by enemies. But in October of this year, Salon.com revealed the two men had been killed by friendly fire, the US Army then destroyed the evidence.

During an interview, Mike Huckabee said that in approving Prop. 8, California did not “ban” or “prohibit” marriage equality, but affirmed the definition of marriage as between one man and one woman.”

These days you don’t need a TV to watch breaking news (and forget newspapers). Here are some online video news sites that I check for the latest english news and funny news videos.

On Hannity & Colmes, Sean Hannity and guest Hugh Hewitt blamed the recession on President Obama who has yet to be sworn in as President of the United States.

Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, describes the handling of the bailout as “borderline criminal” because of this and other problems. Klein spoke to Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! to explain her accusations.

The Rockford Files, The A-Team, 21 Jumpstreet... Stephen Cannell created some of my favorite TV shows. Now he's got a new mystery novel coming out, On The Grind. The web site has lots of stuff - videos, character profiles, novel excerpts, contests & more.

Joe "the Plumber" Wurtzelbacher appeared on Hannity and Colmes where he attacked Barack Obama for socialism, but then defended his own enrollment in welfare, a socialistic program.

On Glenn Beck ’s radio show today, Mitt Romney denounced McCain’s cap and trade program, saying it would “kill jobs” in the U.S. and that he would “endeavor to convince” McCain to change his plans.

On the "Daily Show," Bill Kristol repeated his prediction that John McCain will "win huge" on Tuesday. Jon Stewart joked with Kristol, who he has mocked before, "You can't look at past performance as a predictor, otherwise you wouldn't still be a pundit."
