Before anyone goes off on me, let me explain a couple of things. First I know that historically men have been the ones we memorialize and thank for their service. Second, I love any excuse for a John Wayne marathon and I can always count on Memorial weekend for a long one.
For us working women Memorial weekend isn't always a time to go out on the lake, sometimes all we want to do is hang out on the couch and veg out while watching movies. Where are the Elvis marathons, what about Julia Roberts, Harrison Ford, Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn or even just a good chick flick marathon? Why do the programmers insist on airing all their war movies this weekend?
I know it's probably just me, but I find it irritating. Until things change I think I'll just keep my TV tuned to whichever station happens to be the John Wayne channel this weekend. With any luck multiple stations will air their Duke marathons on different days and I'll get to see all my favorites. Oh look, Rooster Cogburn is just starting!
