The article forgot to mention that 70% are on medication as well. God forbid the article should read "Amercians worked more, and watched less TV". The libs wouldn't like that, their voting block would be lessened!

I couldn't read the article link but not sure why it would be surprising? With a slow economy, less hours are worked. People are earning less and are home more so they watch more TV, which is to be expected in a slow economy.
