I'm sitting in front of the tv switching back and forth between the local news and critiquing how they bring us information about what is going on in our city and county.I'm terrible about that because I used to produce the news at 7, so I feel like no one can do it better than I did!
My obsession with politics bugs the crap out of Mike, though. I can see him rolling his eyes when I get going on a rant, so I've tried to tone it down a bit. To me, politics is a contact sport, and I watch it with as much passion as men watch their favorite football team!
That's why I hope our listeners understand that the thing I enjoy best about political talk is finding out someone else's opinion. I certainly don't know everything, and I'm like everyone else when I get blinded by my own biases and emotions. Those things color the way I look at politics, but someone else's viewpoint could be the thing I need to hear to change my mind and see the way someone else see's the same subject.
The freedom to speak your mind is a powerful thing, but sometimes I forget to use my inside voice! So, I guess what I'm trying to say is, thank you, dear listeners, for bearing with me when I get on my soapbox and forget that I'm not Empress Patricia! But if you wanna talk politics, call me at the station. I love to argue!
