Apparently the American viewing public committed another gross, outrageous infringement of Susan Sarandon's First Ammendment free-speech rights by staying away from her TV movie (on CBS last night) in droves.

Expect her "partner" Tim Robbins to call a press conference today to protest the callous, flagrant disregard for Sarandon's constitutional rights on the part of America's Kafkaesque citizens, who failed to cancel their other Easter plans (or to turn the channel from other stuff) in order to prevent this Orwellian nightmare from taking place.

One of the other programs that trounced hers in the ratings was a rerun of "The Ten Commandments," starring noted gun-advocate Charleton Heston, thus confirming suspicions that the unconstitutional, un-American, "chill wind" that blew past Sarandon's movie last night was part of a vast, right-wing conspiracy backed by the NRA and its cronies in the Bush Administration.
