Today on NPR they're not talking about Roberts
Every morning, we get up at seven, drive to the el and listen to NPR. Which means that last week, every day, we listened to live coverage of the Senate Judiciary committee interviewing Roberts, Bush’s nominee to head the Supreme Court.
Every evening, I leave work around six, take the el back to Damen and drive home frome there. Which means that last week, I listened to live coverage of the Senate Judiciary committee interviewing Roberts, Bush’s nominee to head the Supreme Court.
Seven a.m. and six p.m. every day.
This isn't about me dogging the news (especially NPR!), or live coverage of anything (except maybe celebrity trials). It's just that all last week, whenever I got in or out of my car, I felt like screaming all the damn time. Which isn't a nice way to start/end your day. I like to start/end my day with good music, reading in bed, hugs, flowers, coffee, a long walk in the sunshine, maybe some blueberry pancakes and a mimosa/sushi and a martini. But then there's that nagging voice in the back of my head whenever I turn off/log off/turn the page of the radio/TV/internet/newpaper: "Don't you want to be INFORMED? Aren't you a concerned CITIZEN? Don't you want to know what's going ON in this world?"
It's a balance I'm having difficulty achieving.
