Brian from Medford, What's on Your Mind?
What's up? Yeah, not much here either. I'm waiting in anticipation of one of the first non-Patriots SuperBowls in few years. It is significantly less exciting when they're not involved. I have no idea where I'm going to watch it, but I can't imagine anybody around here is overly psyched to watch it either.
Today, I made another appearance on 96.9 FM talk radio. I find that it's a great way to pass the time on the ride home. They asked to talk to democrats to find out why anyone would ever want to call themselves such. Since a majority of the listeners are republicans, being a conservative station, I got through to the host almost right away. I kind of forget exactly what I said, but I made him laugh a few times. He was making fun of the democrats for standing up and cheering when Bush mentioned the defeat of his Social Security plan last year. I told him that it was a terrible plan and that just becuase it was the only one anyone came up with doesn't mean they should pass it. I thought of a lot more things that I could have said after our call ended. By the way, did anybody see this moment during the State of the Union the other night:
Dubya: The first of the baby boomers turn 60 this year, including two of my father's favorite people -- me and President Clinton. Heh heh heh!
(Cut to Hillary Clinton, pouting in bemusement)
I actually laughed out loud at that. Sometimes I feel like watching these politicians is not unlike watching a fight for Student Body President in a high school where the geeks, jocks, and preppies are evenly divided. Although that would imply that there are three points of view, but obviously there are only two that anyone could possibly have.
Alright, I need to watch LOST. I'm out.
