Of course Mr. Bates is not a fan of Baroness Thatcher

Just read an article from a UK paper that said the actor that plays Bates on Downtown Abbey is not a fan of Margaret Thatcher.  This is disappointing but not a surprise.  I don't know why actors are so liberal but for the most part they are. 

Why is VanderPump Rules a show?

I think life was better when we had  4 or 5 tv stations.  Bravo has to be the stupidest station on television.  They have this show called "Vanderpump Rules" about some woman who owns a restaurant in Beverly Hills where all these beautiful people work and the show revolves around the waitstaff.  I cannot believe that this is actually a show on tv.  No wonder our country is so screwed up.
