Cable's Gift to America

I recently learned that C-SPAN, the cable channel dedicated to televising congressional business, turns 25 this year.

Several spots highlight this on the various cable channels. People from many varied walks of life gush synthetically about their love of... C-SPAN. The ads end by calling C-SPAN "Cable's gift to America."

You know, I consider myself a pretty literate and informed individual. Few of my friends are, but still. I had no idea anyone watched C-SPAN.
