The 7-second game
Each network or program says exactly one thing, and says it all the time. When your dial hits this network or program, you never have to count more than 7 seconds until you hear the single keyword or keyphrase.
Tune to Rush: 7 seconds to "tax".
Tune to any other brand-R squawking head: 7 seconds to "Obama ... radical"
Tune to Radio Australia: 7 seconds to "carbon".
Tune to CNN: 7 seconds to "Selma ... Bull Connor".
Tune to any "local" news broadcast: 7 seconds to "breast cancer". ¶ 2:39 AM
