Jon and Kate Plus Ten Minutes of My Life I Want Back

Spoiler Alert: This post has nothing to do with Buxton but will, most likely, alienate and/or upset quite a few people who may read it.

A well known anecdote offers Sir Winston Churchill responding to some woman stating she would, were she his husband, poison his tea. Churchill purportedly responded that if he were her husband, he would drink it.

A somewhat lesser-known note following that story is that said woman was, in fact, the (firm adjective withheld) mother of Jon and Kate Plus 8.

The greatest travesty of our new satellite made its hideous descent upon us this afternoon and continues to this moment. Like a filthy cloud of depravity, this show lingers beyond its bounds.

During the introduction sequence my mind made itself that this show does not belong on television, just about the time that stomach-turning pregnancy footage reeled. Little did I know the mother on this show would soon have me longing for said footage when, well, at least she was quiet.

Several more paragraphs could further describe my feelings on the matter, but in avoidance of anyone taking them too seriously I will decline. Suffice it to say I have a suggestion for Jon in dealing with a 10-person family. Drop the one who (clever, yet somewhat questionable play on words withheld) causes the most problems.

This should not happen. We get NFL Network now.

that show is awful!

On Talk Soup (a program on E! Channel), the host suggested to Jon that next year he star in a show called "Minus Nine and Feelin Fine"...

I AGREE with Mike....she is CRAZY and so friggin' mean to him, thank goodness he just rolls his eyes at her. I can't stand that show. Those nice people that paid for her tummy tuck need to ask for their money back! Even those weird Duggars make way better tv than J&K+8, they're are far nicer to one another too! (and they have 10 more children to deal with!!)
