      Let's try again --

      TLC used to stand for "The Learning Channel". For some time now, it has merely been TLC. TLC is no longer an acronym. It's like Harry Truman's middle name. I was wondering if A&E had undergone a similar rebranding. Upon further investigation, it appears, in fact, that it has: if you go to aetv.com, nowhere will you find "Arts and Entertainment". It is just A&E or A+E. It seems they've given up any pretense of being a network for the fine arts, so you really can't get offended at the programming on that basis.

      I still argue that watching a bunch of successful entrepreneurs with graduate degrees pretending to be slack-jawed yokels is pretty entertaining.

          People should never be "suspended" for what they believe...only what they do. Robertson did not talk about his beliefs in the context of his employer and should not be relieved of his job.
          What if he had professed a strong belief in the blood libel of the Jews or that slavery was approved by the Bible and ought not be prohibited by a secular government?

              Hot damn, would THAT send ratings through the roof!

              While obviously anything he says reflects on his employers, regardless of context--what with their being the only reason he and his ilk are famous--I'd be relieved if we could collectively acquire thick enough skin to listen to people be *******s without trying to annihilate them and salt the earth they live on.

                • I also feel that A&E should stand for "*******s and elbows," and consist entirely of footage of that guy who played Sgt. Apone on Aliens doing his thing. I'd watch it.

                              We tried that in the Antebellum days. It did not work.

                                I hear that Phil Robertson got a masters in "education" and was a teacher. I suspect from the same university as Ben.
