Why are they announcing shows for the 2008 schedule when the 2007 slate hasn't even fully rolled out? Are they trying to confuse people? Make them completely not care by the time Fall '08 rolls around, much like the presidential campaigns (except in this case, all the presidential candidates would have to be made up of the recycled parts of old candidates... wait, never mind, it is the same)?
