Monday morning rage
I was listening to NPR on the drive to work this morning, as usual. They were playing
There reaches a certain point after which I can no longer listen to That Man speak. After about five minutes, I can either start pulling my hair out in clumps, or I can turn him off. So, I switched over to one of the local top 40 stations. That's always a mistake. The morning DJ came on the air and, in that annoying morning male DJ voice (which can only be produced by consuming vast quantities of methamphetamine) said, "President Bush just nominated some lady named Harriet Miers [!] to be on the Supreme Court. We're trying to figure out which Saturday Night Live celebrity she looks like. Give us a call if you know!" This, ladies and gentlemen, is why this country is in trouble. The average citizen cares more that Miers looks like Rachen Dratch than that she is a long-time crony of the president, or that she has never even been a judge before. Oy. |
