Back to books<\/a> tomorrow, but I couldn\u2019t resist adding in one non-book item:<\/p>\n

$\"tv$ <\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Perhaps you have found yourself sitting in the waiting room of a doctor\u2019s office, and the wall-mounted TV is on, and you aren\u2019t quite up to answering the question, \u201cMomeeeeee, what is a \u2018twanssexual wuv twiangle?'\u201d<\/p>\n

Or you\u2019re sitting in a restaurant for your biennial date with your husband, waiting for your bloomin\u2019 onion to arrive, and you realize that your precious evening is being devoured by the eleven wall-mounted screens, all showing the Laker Girls?<\/p>\n

Or heck, maybe you\u2019re sitting in that same restaurant and Michael Voris comes on, and you actually listen with an open heart for once and you suddenly realize that he actually is<\/em> a fearless prophet who will save the world, and is, as\u00a0 one of my readers pointed out, \u201ccompletely faithful to the magnesium?\u201d\u00a0 But, because of your heart of stone, you are unwilling to take back your calumnious words, and so you wish you could just TURN THE TV OFF?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what the TV-B-Gone Universal TV Power Remote Control Keychain <\/a>does.\u00a0 It turns off TVs.\u00a0 Point and click, and whatever\u2019s troubling you on the silver screen goes away, so you can wait for the phlebotomist or bloomin\u2019 onion or continue to dwell in non-Vorisian darkness in peace and quiet for another day.<\/p>\n
